Click here for a Bored Quickie! And do the IPL finals LIVE! (Bangalore vs. Deccan, 7:30pm IST) The Bored Members are in, gotta feeling Fake will be there too, a shadow of his former self - either a bewada or a dhakan.
To follow the minutes of the Live meeting, click on the above link. It'll just take a second.
For a lowdown on Bored Quickie, you can get some release here!
Right now instead of reading this, you could be talking to yourself in the New Bored Talk – that’s a Live Chat number. Yeah, LIVE!
And while you’re enacting that Macbeth soliloquy, who knows which Bored Member you will run into -
It could be Achettup, who’s short of a length, or RajaB, who’s very full. It could be a well pitched Q or the journal-inclined watcher, Soulberry. It could be the cartoonist A Bisht or the realist Homer. It could be one of the two Ankits or maybe even both of them. It could be a fizzy Scorpicity or an icy Ottayan. It could be a rambling VM or the stoic John. It could be Bhaskar Khaund 1 or Trideep too. It could be Nikhil Kalaan the first or Som the Doosra. It could be Bored Peon or Bored Neon. It could be Yawn T Roads or Jatman. It could be a linear Straight Point or a stark Naked Cricket.
Tell you what I just had a fine time talking with that Naked Cricket.
why weren't MUs there at 30/3? Why at 130/3?
This is an Indian blog. MUs will cease if/when momentum is lost. Will emerge again when found. 146/3. Referred. Not out. SMG claims it's important for the Indian POV. Not the Not Out. But the ball turned. Go figure.
Ad Break. KP juggles ball. Decides to bowl. BCC! decides on update.
KP pouts after being hit for six. Elsewhere Jolie pouts in her sleep. 163/3
GG gone. 163/4. KP doesn't pout. Takes wicket instead. GG played it on (again Sam). Prior jumps. himself. Break in MUs
11.21 AM
Long Ad Break. Explains why MSD is still not off the mark.
Captain off the mark. Anthony off to meet Brutus.
Shastri on. Cliches on. I'm off.
Shastri does not use "tracer bullet" to describe MSD shot. Par score 260-270 acc to RS. That should be par scores? Q - will India make two scores, how many will England chase?
Worth considering: Y Pathan gets another game, doesn't get to play up the order. Will he score another, er, 0. RS glad India stuck with YS. Is YS glad being stuck to?
Samit Patel on. Or is it Romesh Powar. Handwriting experts have been called.
RS uses "sensibly, well struck" and other sensible words. Still no tracerbullet tho.
Says, there "she goes". Who is she? She's a white ball.
39th over: still batting powerplay not taken. will india rue this, as windies did y'day?
Yuvraj 100. MSD gone. Powerplay? Powerpathan on.Will he last more than two balls?
11:49 AM (SP)
a ton from YS and dhoni gone...to arrange the champagne...i guess...
And bottled milk for self (NC)
YP lasts 6 balls - 3 times more than the avg. lifespan of YP innings
YP hits his first four after the IPL. Kisses heart locket which reveals Shane Bhai's colourful persona
HIGH NOON:
Powerplay taken. 223/5. Siva and Bumble on. KP claps.
Fumble on the field, Bumble in the box.
12:06 PM (SP)
that's another four from yvraj's increasingly broad blade...and the helpless look of flintoff...priceless!!
Yuvraj gone...Broad comes
i think this powerplay is good concept...has already taken the wicket of yuvraj...
batters will be extra eager to take advantage of...thereby providing window of opportunity to bowlers...
12.30 pm (nc)
was india late on their powerplay? like could they have taken it a lot earlier, when GG and YS were having a net?
261/8. Updates faster than cricinfo. when we choose to.
267/8. told you so
running the first one hard, hardly running the second one - cause of many a runout, old jungle saying
Munaf is on. Prior is worse than Akmal.
Yusuf Pathan 50. 292/9. England will be thinking Rajkot, Stanford and bad thoughts. India won't have to think much.
Yuvraj will be thinking I'm two hundreds closer to the test side.
YP msgs Shane bhai. Shane bhai msgs nurse.
1.19 PM
Bell in hell. Eng 6/1. What have you got, skip?
2.05 PM
England still batting. RP Singh still bowling. No balls. Seems like a long time he bowled that yes ball to castle KP.
aside: Shah up the order - does well against India, at least has so far in this innings. RP Singh still bowling. Ravi Shastri still dng commentary. Prior still batting. Not with keeping gloves thankfully.
2.16 PM
The fieldings been so good, you almost don't miss Dada.
3.01 PM
Bored Serious: In earlier encounters, don't recall India using the spin option effectively enough vs. England.
Bored to the bone: Plumber called Suresh arrives. I call him Raina.
15.15 PM RP fields. RS speaks. We turn the other cheek.
Sachin appears. It's only an Ad. When Sachin returns to ODIs, where will he bat? Ponder. Ponderous.
3.20 PM
MSD is by far the best keeper appealer. Powerplay. Fun.
Flintoff's three 6s signal England's arrival in India. 145/3, 33
RP fields, surely a bad omen.
Munaf bowls a slow ball. This after Sami bowled a slow one. Slow learners, learning fast.
161/3 Flintoff is in the zone. from GMT to IST now.
zaks - don't talk to KP.
RP's back. KP strikes back. RP - speak to self
3.47 PM
England seize the batting powerplay - and the day? RP has a seizure - bowls his 3rd No Ball.
Time for who? Slow the game.
Powerplay over. Powerplayers out.Paul C'wood is in. And with him, his unmistakable bad luck.
4.04PM (SOS)
Players of Indian origin vs. Indian players. Not for long. 193/7.
4.13PM
Yuvi is now 4 wickets closer to a test spot.England in a spot of bother: 8 down.
4.28 India win. In spite of being a little too flash in the field, a better team would've taken it to the last over. England had more belief, but just enough to lose by a slimmer margin than the first game.
why india won: because rp didn't bowl more
why england lost: becaue yuvi still feels like playing cricket
