India v England series

[chopsfc007]

Few wickets early tomorrow for India and they’ll be well ahead of the game

Let's just be happy have faith in root stokes pipe buttler

Bitterly disappointing that, Sibley deserved his hundred there. Still a great day for us though. Bat two sessions tomorrow and we’ve got a great chance.

 

[GuestServices]

Indeed and nah 500

We got 400 plenty last time and they got 600 and a 700

aye true

 

[The Rat]

Yep need another ton from someone and supporting roles along the way.

Root treble would be nice though

Really is a shame that like. Stokes a lefty to Ashwin After no cricket

Long tail too

That’s why test cricket is the best game

Bumrah bowled some class Yorkers all day like, they’re under bowled in test cricket, fair play to him on a flat pitch

Stokes pipes Buttler

Blame Mrs RT - she walked directly in front of the tv screen for that delivery.

Immediate divorce.

Can tell I'm half asleep

 

[Ghfd]

rishi has just mentioned that highlights will be on ALL4 later on

 

[brandon]

That's my shift done. I'm a first session man.
I'm in Terry and Bob mode now. I'll leave it to you folks to take us to 300/2 at the close.

Not too far wrong

Any predictions for tomorrow’s play? OR tonight’s EuroMillions?

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Great day that

 

[brandon]

Runs wise he may well prove to be, but there’s far too many variables to really agree an anyone being the best ever.

Bradman is an overall exception as his numbers are freakish.

Root will be right up there when assessing England’s best but Pietersen was better IMO. More dominant and the best England batsman to watch in my lifetime.

Those from an earlier era will probably have Gower up there.

I took it to mean that TR was on about England - but could be wrong.

 

[Silly Point]

Still worried about the collapse tomorrow morning but a decent day overall. Would have taken that after those two quick wickets before lunch

Archer needs to take note.

Think their tail is longer than ours to be honest.

As Carty says, lower order contributions can be the difference, hopefully is the case for us.

He’s the best in the world for death bowling in odis and t20s.

 

[Ghfd]

Think this will be Washington’s last test of the series. Milked him mind at over 4s

does Alistair Cook dye his hair? Suspiciously dark still

 

[Steak Pie]

Can't hope for a better day 1 really, just a shame that Sibbo couldn't convert.

He's not old like you

Damn right you would. Two centuries are amazing

Crucial, usually the top orders balance out but a tailender staying in for an hour, helping an upper order playerfarm the strike, can be the difference. Or tailender s blasting a quick 30 odd themselves

Great day's cricket that. Coverage by C4 was good too. On me fifth cuppa already, I'll be pissing like an elephant for the rest of the day.
