Ashes

Cook to ROOT
what could be finer ..

all night and currently ..

Cricket: ENG v IND LIVE
fifth test between England and India - Day 2

OVER 96: ENG 321/7 (Root 50* Jordan 0*) Root moves to another excellent half-century by pulling Sharma for three. "Roooooooooooot" is the familiar response of the crowd. He's a very popular cricketer, and a pretty, pretty good one too. He averages 85 since being dropped at the end of the Ashes tour.

Close of play: England 385/7 (lead by 237) Another excellent day for England, despite a wobble in the afternoon. They are in total control and might even wrap the match up inside three days. Thanks for your company; bye!
 
thats an Australian score if ever there was one ..
England
486
India
148 & 9/2 (6.1 overs

did i hear correct that he was dumped for a period after th Aussie tour ... mmmmm ..

13.08 Joe Root was splendid this morning. Peter Rowntree writes of him:
Joe Root is one of the most talented cricketers I have ever seen come into the England side during my life time.
This match? Given it is our last Test match for 8 months I feel disappointed that it isn't more of a competitive game.
What's next for Joe Root - will England blood him as a captain for the ODI campaign this winter and decide to give Ali Cook a long rest before 2015?
 

Ashes England/India

CONGRATULATIONS England


WICKET! Sharma c Ali b Jordan 2. India 94 all out. ENGLAND WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 244 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 3-1 That's it! An excellent short ball from Jordan is shovelled up in the air by Sharma, and Moeen Ali takes the catch. India were a disgrace today, but England were thrillingly merciless: they scored 101 in 11.3 overs and then bowled India out in just 29.2 overs. That's a staggering performance in any circumstances.

thanks for having me all 97-000 loyal LPSG Cricket followers, and now coverage of the Nanjing Youth Olympics .. tuff shit for all you people!!!

Ashes Swimming/Rugby

the All Blacks get there arses kicked tonight Eden Park Auckland,

ie 'how could our beloved All Blacks lose a game, esp against the Aussies haha
be a delightful day for me

if you watch/see the game, you observe the death like grim determination on the ABs faces, a win at all costs look, thats not enjoyable sporting fun in my books, i dont watch the game because of that ha
 
Yes!!!


The war of words comes as former Test official Jonathan Kaplan, writing in his own blog this week, said referees were now taking better action at the Kiwis' negative slowing-down tactics under pressure.


Statistics back up Kaplan's comments with New Zealand copping significantly more yellow cards - seven in their past 10 Tests - than in the previous four seasons.


McKenzie says Hansen's gripes about the scrum and Crockett's sin-binning were highly selective, and praised referees for being more consistent in punishing cynical indiscretions.

England V India LIVE
the 2nd ODI in the India tour of England. the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff for the 1st Innings.

English side should be wearing shorts, to distinguish themselves from the Indians
Capt Cook should lead by eg ..

even i am in shorts now, near the end of Winter NZ almost .

Hot cuppa T and fresh raspberry and cream bun ,



Kholi goes. c Cook b Woakes 0. (19-2) The dangerman goes. Out of nick in the Tests, his summer of torment continues. On the charge, he hammers to mid-off, and Cook clings on... just. Ajinkya Rahane come sin a slot earlier, protecting Suresh Raina. India hope the ball will stop zig-zagging about it soon. Poor shoyt from Kohli, though. Over-confidence? Or trying to hammer himself back into form?
 
bit of a bummer but .. great bowling India
confidence booster, brilliant, nice to see
theyre noisy buggers tho, shouting geesus ha


India win by 133 runs... India's second highest win over England in an ODI.
India smashed 304 for six in the second ODI at Cardiff (after the Bristol opener was rained off);


fyi
developed a system similar to the duckworth, involving sleep,but not sleep
close the eyes and listen to the commentary only, awaken fully alert when theres a hell of a racket etc
total relaxation, still playing the game with the boys .. last me the next ODIs anyway
NEXT year, be a lot better timing ha
