Game Day
[India vs England - 3st Test]

Indians missed vital catches and let go the English. For most of the day the English were pegged down by some fantastic bowling; Number of catches Yuvarj Singh dropped is more the number of coffees I take per day. Seriously what is the coach doing here about the technical flaw? Every commentator or even spectators have spotted this flaw. Mr. Coach was seen sitting there as though he was on a paid vacation to Mumbai. Adding to this Dhoni missed the easiest stumping known to man kind.

The most remarkable performance of the day was from Anil Kumble. He was simply fantastic;gave his heart and soul to the team, he is determined for an Indian victory. the closing in fielders kept dropping catches at will, Kumble took a fantastic catch to get rid of Kevin Peterson. He also played the night watch man roll in perfection to protect Jaffer.Hats of to the big guy;

Sachin was moving with great speed in the outfield however just a while go I saw a head line at Rediff.com - “Sachin out of One day series due to an injury”. This would be a blow to the one day squad; His batting was near perfect in the one day scenario. Sehwag was seen doing baby elephant walks on and off field; he was suffering from back injury etc. Did not field or open, what ever! There is something fishy going on here on fitness etc.

Nasser Hussian was telling that batsmen should do their job instead of asking the bowlers to bat for them; I agree with him here, Dravid should have come in and played some quick shots. But pressure is such that it can break even a concrete Wall.
Yuvraj, Dhoni, and Dravid playing to their potential, I think Indians can pull of a sensational victory here. First hour tomorrow we will know about it. But for now, it is Advantage England;
