My take on the 3 Indian wickets to fall on Day 3 – the rub of the green went England’s way.

Tendulkar’s was not even an arm ball. It was a normal loopy SLA which didn’t turn. I found a video which i’ve posted on my latest blog post.

If you look at it, it was well flighted, with seam pointing towards third man – not towards fine leg or square point. Furthermore, it didn’t even move down the slope! Jaffer’s bat turned in his hands, and Dravid was technically not out.

The rain has “saved” us..but truly speaking, a loss wouldve spurred on the team to make some changes, perform better and win the next test. I hope the big 4 fire next time atleast. Ganguly and Sachin seem to have got some decent starts.

Nice blog, Mohankaus.
Yup … It’s either Dhoni or Bad weather which will see us through …
Most likely it’s going to be bad weather

At the time of writing this comment, India need another 173 runs to win, while England need to take 5 wickets in 2 sessions.

If India are to save this test, they better start praying for rain – In spite of the sixty odd runs that Laxman and Dhoni have put together I don’t think India have a chance!

Mohan,

Was Sachin in the defensive mindset? I do not think so. Just the delivery before his dismissal, he had thumped a boundary to cover and it was a spectacular shot. I think, his positive intent cost him his wicket, or else he could just have blocked the delivery, but he was looking to play strokes!

Dravid was the real unlucky guy in this match. He got an unplayable delivery in the first dig and was a little unlucky to be given out yesterday.

It really pains me when I think these two great batsmen were playing at Lords for the last time.

Hope they make up for this failure in the next two tests!
