It has been, what is it now, three months. It feels like yesterday that the RCD held sway over this entire board. We made many good friends and recieved much attention from TK'ers. For that we are eternally grateful. It is perhaps time to reflect on the past accomplishments of the RCD but I digress. This is the time to welcome back some of your most valued members of TK. We all look forward to the freedom and wit that we found here. It is our hope, that our welcome this time ,will hearken back to our last.

England draw after frantic finish
First Test, Nagpur, day five :
England 393 & 297-3 dec drew with India 323 & 260-6
Match scorecard
Jonathan Agnew's verdict

Jaffer acknowledges the crowd's applause for his hundred

Wasim Jaffer hit a maiden century as England and India drew the first Test after a gripping final session.

The teams shook hands in Nagpur when the umpires offered the light to the Indian batsmen with the score on 260-6, still 108 short of their target.

There had been little sign of what was to come as Jaffer and Rahul Dravid (71) put on 167 in orthodox fashion.

But the game burst into life after tea as India added 129 in 22 overs before accepting the task was beyond them.

After watching the two teams apparently going through the motions in the first two sessions, the crowd went through an entire range of emotions as the home side took on England's attack.

Irfan Pathan smashed 35 off 25 balls and Sachin Tendulkar took three fours off an over from Ian Blackwell with some audacious strokeplay.

But the dangerous Mahendra Dhoni failed to sparkle and when he and Harbhajan Singh were dismissed in successive overs from Steve Harmison, India sent out VVS Laxman to shut up shop.

India managed to drag back a large dose of momentum going into the next Test

At that point the initiative was back with England who, having performed excellently over the previous four days, needed four more wickets for victory in the final 11 and a half overs.

Laxman did not have to face a single delivery, however, as the umpires decided the light had faded sufficiently to cause them concern and he and Tendulkar (28 not out) headed for the dressing room.

The final day provided a searching examination of Andrew Flintoff's captaincy credentials.

And it was clear he still has plenty to learn after being handed the job at short notice following Michael Vaughan's return home because of a knee injury.

He failed to vary his tactics during the afternoon session and some of his field placings were questionable as Jaffer and Dravid collected ones, twos and an occasional boundary pretty much as they pleased.

England had begun the day by declaring on their overnight score of 297-3, leaving India a remote target of 368, and were given an early boost when Matthew Hoggard's perfect off-cutter knocked back the off stump to remove Virender Sehwag for a duck.

Only 23 runs were scored in the first hour and England eventually turned to spin in the hope of a second breakthrough before lunch.

Blackwell was unlucky when Dravid, on 17, played a loose shot to an angled delivery and keeper Geraint Jones failed to hang onto a thin edge.

Jaffer, meanwhile, was almost run out when substitute fielder Matt Prior's throw just missed the stumps at the bowler's end.

And he had another escape when he drove Hoggard uppishly to mid-off where Ian Bell was unable to hang onto a diving one-handed chance.


Flintoff came under pressure in his first Test as England skipper

India were 131-1 at tea and it looked as if the game would peter out with the body language of Flintoff and his team suggesting they believed a draw was inevitable.

But Dravid raised the tempo as he passed 1,000 runs in Tests against England before Panesar confirmed the good impression he had made in his debut appearance by bowling him for 71.

Pathan, promoted to number four, ran to the middle in his eagerness to get on with it and Flintoff soon sent his fielders scurrying back to the rope to try and cut off a flow of boundaries.

Jaffer, playing his first Test for three and a half years, reached three figures off 197 balls with 12 fours before hitting a ball from Flintoff straight to cover and the England skipper struck again when Pathan chipped to mid-wicket.

India needed 132 off the final 15 overs and the decision to reintroduce Blackwell after a drinks break looked a dubious one as Tendulkar produced fours with a reverse sweep, orthodox sweep and lofted drive over cover.

But Dhoni (16) clubbed Harmison down the ground to Strauss, who was patrolling the long-off boundary, and the Durham paceman then flattened Harbhajan's stumps with a yorker.

It was frenetic stuff and then suddenly the fun was over as the players shook hands with all to play for in the second and third Tests.

Flintoff hails England after draw

Flintoff was delighted with his young side after their draw in Nagpur
England captain Andrew Flintoff paid tribute to his young side after they held off a late India charge to secure a deserved draw in the first Test.
The hosts gave up their chase as the light faded still 107 runs short of England's total and Flintoff said: "This is our youngest side in 40 years.

"The character, coolness and calmness shown by them all was superb.

"Even when India were throwing the bat around at the end we stuck to the basics, and we even might have won it."

A 167-run partnership between Wasim Jaffer (100) and Rahul Dravid (71) preceded a late burst from India, in which Irfan Pathan and Sachin Tendulkar both scored freely to put England under pressure.

But Flintoff, Steve Harmison and Monty Panesar shared five wickets to end India's slim hopes of victory as they ended on 260-6.

And Flintoff insisted England's encouraging performance boded well for the rest of the tour.

There's an excitement in our dressing room. We're a young side and we're up for playing against India

Andrew Flintoff

"Every single player in our dressing room can be proud of what we've done this week," said the Lancashire all-rounder.

"Now we've got to do it all again in the next Test in Mohali. But there's an excitement in our dressing room right now.

"We're a young side, playing good cricket, and we're up for playing against India."

However, he played down his chances of holding on to the England captaincy.

The 28-year-old's leadership came under severe scrutiny as India began their run-chase in earnest in the evening session, and his negative field placings possibly tainted an otherwise decent first Test as skipper.

And he conceded: "I'm the captain purely through circumstance, what with Michael (Vaughan) and Marcus (Trescothick) returning home.

"But it was good fun, being involved all the time and making decisions. And the team took ownership of it, they all took it on board.

"It wasn't going to be easy, but all of them fought for five days and, as captain, that's all you can ask."


Hoggard's immaculate line and length earned him the match award

Man-of-the-match Matthew Hoggard echoed his skipper's sentiments, and challenged the side to take their form to Mohali.

The Yorkshire seamer ended with excellent match figures of 7-86 from 46.5 overs to pick up the player award, but he said: "Every bowler played their part, and we all did well as a pack.

"Monty Panesar in particular, especially on debut, came in and showed good character to bowl really well.

"And, at the end, even on an unresponsive wicket that didn't turn as much as we hoped it would, we came at them and put them under pressure.

"Who knows, had we had another 15 overs or so to bowl at them, we might have got a result.

"Now we'll have a break, rest up a bit, and then come out all guns blazing again in Mohali."

Wasn't the RCD the invasion that fizzled out because one of their members broke down and starting bawling and screaming over people calling him "Scrotum?"
 
They have a great forum at their BBS for dealing with scammers though. I've just been killing myself with laughter reading some of it. They were OK by me the first time round ;)
 
WE ARE ALL BEING HAPPY TO RETURN AS PART OF THE SKAN MOVEMENTS. RCD ARE BROTHERS BUT ARE NOT SKANS. RCD DOES NOT EAT CELLOPHANE WRAPPED BAKED GOOD WITH THE FREQUENCY NEEDED FOR SKAN. AM I CLEAR, YES? OK.

Can't say I disagree with any of this. I find it to be both factually accurate as well as 'in your face.'

Hey, here's something about trees:

As an exogenous tree grows, it creates growth rings. In temperate climates, these are commonly visible due to changes in the rate of growth with temperature variation over an annual cycle. These rings can be counted to determine the age of the tree, and used to date cores or even wood taken from trees in the past; this practice is known as the science of dendrochronology. In some tropical regions with constant year-round climate, growth is continuous and distinct rings are not formed, so age determination is impossible. Age determination is also impossible in endogenous trees.

What does the RCD think?
 
THE RANTINGS ARE NOT SKANS AND SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEEN PRESSERS OF SKANS. THEY ARE NOT THE HATERS OF HERE THOUGH SO WE ARE BEING HERE FOR STOPPING THE HATING.
