mazolaman Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Check out these stats for the recent test. some stunning England performances. Cook with the bat,Anderson with the ball,and Bresnan with bat and ball. Stuart Broad with bat and ball. As a bowler,I cannot state the supreme quality of some of Anderson's bowling,so many late swinging absoloute jaffas. This team could become as dominant as The West Indies and Australia were in their respective times. Test match series: England v India Wednesday, 10 August 2011 at Edgbaston, Day 4 of 5 England beat India by an innings and 242 runs England won the toss and decided to field India 1st Innings 224 all out (62.2 overs) India 2nd Innings 244 all out (55.3 overs) England 1st Innings 710 for 7 (188.1 overs) India 1st Innings - All out Runs Balls 4s 6s Gambhir b Bresnan 38 64 7 0 Sehwag c Prior b Broad 0 1 0 0 Dravid b Bresnan 22 68 3 0 Tendulkar c Anderson b Broad 1 8 0 0 Laxman c Broad b Bresnan 30 41 6 0 Raina b Anderson 4 21 0 0 Dhoni c Strauss b Broad 77 96 10 3 A Mishra c Prior b Broad 4 13 1 0 Kumar c Prior b Bresnan 26 39 4 1 Ishant Sharma c Cook b Anderson 4 19 1 0 Sreesanth not out 0 4 0 0 Extras 4b 14lb 18 Total all out 224 (62.2 ovs) Bowler O M R W Anderson 21.2 3 69 2 Broad 17.0 6 53 4 Bresnan 20.0 4 62 4 Swann 4.0 0 22 0 Fall of wicket 8 Sehwag 59 Gambhir 60 Tendulkar 75 Dravid 92 Raina 100 Laxman 111 A Mishra 195 Kumar 224 Dhoni 224 Ishant Sharma Back to top England 1st Innings - Declared Runs Balls 4s 6s Strauss b A Mishra 87 176 13 0 Cook c Raina b Ishant Sharma 294 545 33 0 Bell b Kumar 34 43 6 0 Pietersen lbw b Kumar 63 78 9 1 Morgan c Sehwag b Raina 104 199 11 0 Bopara lbw b A Mishra 7 15 1 0 Prior c Tendulkar b A Mishra 5 11 0 0 Bresnan not out 53 75 6 1 Extras 15nb 3w 11b 34lb 63 Total for 7 710 (188.1 ovs) Bowler O M R W Kumar 40.0 13 98 2 Sreesanth 36.0 4 158 0 Ishant Sharma 37.1 7 159 1 A Mishra 43.0 2 150 3 Raina 28.0 1 83 1 Tendulkar 4.0 0 17 0 Fall of wicket 186 Strauss 252 Bell 374 Pietersen 596 Morgan 605 Bopara 613 Prior 710 Cook Back to top India 2nd Innings - All out Runs Balls 4s 6s Gambhir c Swann b Anderson 14 42 2 0 Sehwag c Strauss b Anderson 0 1 0 0 Dravid c Prior b Anderson 18 39 3 0 Tendulkar run out (Swann) 40 60 8 0 Laxman c Prior b Anderson 2 21 0 0 Raina lbw b Swann 10 24 2 0 Dhoni not out 74 79 13 0 A Mishra c Broad b Swann 22 28 4 0 Kumar c Bopara b Broad 40 18 5 3 Ishant Sharma lbw b Broad 0 8 0 0 Sreesanth c Pietersen b Bresnan 5 13 1 0 Extras 7w 6b 6lb 19 Total all out 244 (55.3 ovs) Bowler O M R W Anderson 18.0 3 85 4 Broad 12.0 4 28 2 Bresnan 10.3 3 19 1 Swann 13.0 1 88 2 Pietersen 2.0 0 12 0 Fall of wicket 3 Sehwag 35 Gambhir 40 Dravid 56 Laxman 87 Raina 89 Tendulkar 130 A Mishra 205 Kumar 221 Ishant Sharma 244 Sreesanth Back to top Umpires: S J Davis, S J A Taufel, R S Madugalle, R J Tucker England: Strauss ©, Cook, Bell, Pietersen, Morgan, Bopara, Prior (W), Bresnan, Broad, Swann, Anderson India: Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, Raina, Dhoni (C/W), A Mishra, Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth
dicko Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Congrats England. I'll give it to you mate, they look bloody good. Fast bowlers, great top 3, good fielding...sounds like Australia a few years ago! I was born in the late 80's. I grew up thinking Australia was automatically no 1. They never lost the whole time I grew up. Now you guys have it. Enjoy it. I enjoy watching England play even though it pains me to say!!!!

I know what you mean,when I first started getting into cricket,the West Indies were the kings,then followed Australian dominance,with both of these sides you never thought they would be beaten. But the wheel goes round. I fear for India when Dravid,Tendulkar,Laxman etc reitre,as they will soon.They will loose 3 greats all at the same time,where are their replacements? I generally fear for test match cricket,as the shorter games take a hold. But in the mean time,credit to our boys,as they seem to be white hot at the moment. If I can ever afford to,I'll come and watch a test at the WACA with you mate!
riazp Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Very happy to see england is back on top of the cricket world, they are playing some of the best cricket i've seen in a while...even though I live in canada so the only way I get to watch cricket is online.Keep It up England!
