Anyone interested in following this ?
I am glad to see India back to Test cricket .. and that too one of the most challenging tours this young team could embark on. Although the pitch doesn't look as scary as one might have expected at Trent Bridge
India 147/3 (51.2 ov)

Very rarely watch test matches & ODI's but I check the score on cricinfo from time to time. Not sure if Jadeja or Binny should be in the team but let's see how they go.

I am a cricket addict lol .. so Test match is the ultimate joy for me
Ishant Sharma has done well on what is supposedly a dead pitch

I'm sorta following it, though not live as timing wise it's just awful for me. ENgland captain seemed very annoyed at the pitch, I wonder why it was made favourable to India, doesn't make sense.

The groundsman had installed a more sand based field and pitch, so that it would help in the drainage when it rains (which it does a lot in England)
But it has backfired because the pitch is not able to retain moisture anymore, and looks like it has developed into an absolute flat track with nothing for any bowler in it. Really stupid
Atleast Indian pitches support spin bowlers. This one is just dead and slow, which is the kind of wickets you get for some domestic matches in India
Really spoils cricket for the players and the viewers. Hope they prepare a result-producing wicket in the next 4 games

That being said, Dhoni and Cook have just pumped up the competition for the worst-test-captain. Last wicket scoring so many runs in either innings is just pathetic
