'Harbhajan was disappointing'

Mumbai: Former India captain Ravi Shastri and former England batsman David Lloyd have given Kevin Pietersen and his men their thumbs up.
Lloyd felt that the all important partnership between Andrew Strauss and Paul Collingwood made all the difference. "It is important to occupy the crease but you have to score runs as well. The partnership between Strauss and Collingwood was a great and busy one. The tempo of Strauss's innings was brilliant. India looked weary in the field today. They need some inspiration. India's got a lot to do."
Lloyd also had a little chuckle about the Durham player, "Paul Collingwood is a great crafter of the ball. He's somewhat in the league of Jonty Rhodes, not pretty to watch but very effective."
Shastri was also very impressed with this English duo. "The Strauss-Collingwood partnership was brilliant. Strauss's shot selection was amazing. Collingwood on the other end was very effective. They did not let the spinners settle down, they rotated the strike."
Shastri also looked very disappointed with the Indian turbanator. "The wicket is turning but not that much; it's on the slower side. Harbhajan for me was very disappointing today. He has been bowling his doosras and all but his wicket-taking off-breaks have gone missing."
Another issue of contention has actually been the pitch. Everyone has just been waiting for it to crumble but it has held on pretty well till now. Lloyd too was surprised at the turn of events, "Yeah we saw debris in the morning and expected the pitch to do a lot but it has done nothing."
Shastri was all gung ho about England. He seems to be very impressed with Pietersen and his boys, "England had a good approach to the match today. They did not let India bowl maidens after maidens and did not get bogged down. India on the other hand looked a tired side. The shoulders were dropping, that is something you haven't seen with the Indian side all season. I think Ishant should have bowled a lot more. England has got this game firmly under control. They would probably want to get into a position from where India know they can't win. I can't see India pulling this one off. If England bat properly for the first session tomorrow, they can win this match. But a draw is also possible. If someone in the Indian side decides, a century is possible even on day 5."
