Lets write bout cricket since today i kind of watched nearly all of India's batting....

So, India started with Viru and Gambhir after dismissing English for 316. As always hopes were high from both the openers but Viru fall early after only couple of glorious fours. Viru nick back one in swinging delivery from Jmes Anderson. After that Dravid and Gambhir tried to consolidate for India, but Dravind going trough a rough patch never looked quiet comfortable and slowed the game a little. Soon before tea the debutante off-spinner Swan claimed both Gambhir and Dravid LBW after being hit for four on first ball. Gambhir was judged LBW, not offering the short and Dravid missed a classical off-spinner.
After, tea things looked different Both Laxman and Sachin looked quite comfortable and in control before Monty caught Laxmon on its own bowling.Soon after, Flintoff was called and he strikes with his first delivery as Sachin played early to give a catch to bowler.
Now, all responsibility has come to Dhoni and Yuvraj.India was still trailing by somewhat 210 runs so hope for best.
