Id say that a few Englishmen were cheering Sachin as well. Most people would like to see the Little Master get a hundred in the second innings with an England win.

I'd kinds like to see him get 99 then a shocker of an LBW, teach the BCCI for being such wanks about DRS.

Well we could see a turn around there as apparently hawkeye had a meeting with sachin and he is a convert so can't see the bcci being far behind

Shameful show by India.

Pity that a wicket keeper has to bowl.

Stupid to put your frontline batsman at short leg.

Seems they are being forced to play against their will or without wages.

Can't remember a more shameful show by any test team in recent times

Agree with India being poor. I don't see Dhoni as a great captain. Seems as though he inherited the role by default. A couple of wickets down by tonight and I would say it's goodnight Vienna!

As a captain MS is up among the best. A captain is as good as this team makes him look. Put Strauss as captain of this Indian side and he will be made to look equally poor.

Sachin, he should have toured WI and would have had 6 chances to get his 100th ton but no he wanted it all @ Lords.

dhoni is not a bad captain had world cup win and all his keeping is woefull though

as i have said before keeping in india is easier than england with afterswing and all

why on earth does he not become a genuine all rounder with the ball he has obvious ability

I think the riches the Indian players have are the issue, not dhoni's captaincy, which is good.

he is a world cup winner, a t20 cup winner and skipper of the no1 test team. this isnt an accident.

the team have shown no interest as fielders, other than sharma.

don't hero to zero in 5 seconds please.

Sharma is indeed special and the sooner his fellow Delhi skipper gets fit India will look a better unit. India are blessed that Ishant came on the scene 4 years ago.

Laxman seems to have a good stick in his hands...ball flying off it! 3 fours in a row and looked like he barely touched it. Good timing helps too i guess

Hoping for an England win, feeling a lot more confident now Dravids out but still see it being a draw
