Which persononal opinions though I just think what I've just said given I love cricket and question the motivation of someone like stokes is ridiculous I get peoples backs up fair enough and I can be antagonisttic but it doesn't get personal.

Like a said mate I don’t even think you realise you are doing it at times.

When certain posters comment you will bring up summit they said months and months ago and you are like a dog with a bone.

It’s nowt personal I just think you need to let a lot of what’s said go over your head.

I guess shouldn't bring up the past mate and yeh I apologise I should ignore certain stuff I just struggle with certain stuff some said in jest but when relentless it's tiring and when it always in jest or always negative and very little praise it's a tad annoying

Maybe we should move on?

It’s been a good day of cricket, test cricket is grand

I know it's my main downside it's just frustrating when stuff even in jest gets relentless it's just when little praise is given when things go well and a massive pile on when it goes badly I've been guilty myself it's easier to be negative yeh I get it.

That’s fine. Get it. But try and goad less and we will all get on superbly.

Enjoy the cricket lad

I think no matter how I wind people up being called a thick illiterate so n so isn't on either, true I've been guilty of over reacting on the cricket but yeh true we should enjoy it I guess what I'm saying is when stokes bowls fantastic like yesterday or tongue, or pope plays a fantastic innings let's praise that more, not everything has to be when England struggle, I do fully agree I need to try ignore things not over react or wind people up, I just feel at times things are justified at times some things are not, certain things don't get pulled up on either.

We did well today but haven't changed my opinion that our batting is our strongest department atm and we should have batted first given the conditions.

Depends I reckon. If we can get parity or even a little lead and then bowl like daemons 2nd innings. Could turn into a masterstroke.

Definitely in the balance. India in the box seats obviously but I wouldn't count us out. One thing though, weather permitting, it won't be a draw.

I’m pleased for him. He’s been all around the order recently, and has been under pressure.

His average at #3 is currently ~44 and he has as many tons as Trott at 3, in about 15 tests fewer.

I get he’s feast and famine, but the natural talent is there

Feast or famine at 3, which is not what you want for 1st drop. Couple match winning knocks (and one of the greatest knocks of all time that 196).

His 2nd innings knocks have started to improve but still an issue.

If he batted 6 and had the gloves (which he has done excellently) I doubt there'd be any argument as to his place in the side.

As for yesterday, class from Pope to dig in, rode his luck and is effectively 122-4, but those conditions needed a little luck, Indias own fault for dropping him.

Going to be another 11 overs lost today, paying public being short changed again.

Worse than Day 1, 12% of the day, though the rain might mitigate some of that, plus the 2 overs for change of innings
