The 2000th test is on at the supposedly home of the cricket which can just house 30000 odd spectators between India and England. They also play 100th test vs each other, highest for India against any Test nation. Here are my musings so far on this test:
- India have begun slowly in the first test as usual on an away tour. Thats been a consistent pattern now. Batting came apart, the bowling didnt show its usual flair as well (till day 3 barring PK's 5-for)
- Zaheer showed his importance for India. He was out to injury and the rest of folks struggled for impact.
- KP loves Lords and Indian attack.
- Sachin takes up all the hype. Dravid does his business unnoticed, without hogging the limelight yet again.
- Gambhir, Laxman need to get some runs in 2nd innings to ensure India save this test match.
Virender Sehwag is being missed dearly and heavily.
And the IPL be damned now for causing injuries to Viru and Zak in a very important tour.
