As bad as we have been, it is really only their last wicket partnership that is the big difference. Our bowlers got a bit too much praise for me, you should be able to stop to bunnies getting 111.

Same old story today really, although it wasn't helped by 2 absolute shocking decisions, which can't be overlooked and we are virtually batting with 1 wicket down as Cook is so out of form.

the only batters I have any real confidence in currently to consistenly score runs are Robson and Ballance, I feel they know what their role is, know their shots, and can see off the new ball. They played well today.

What? You don't think Robson and Ballance have started their careers well? are you blind? You clearly haven't been watching the cricket this summer then.

I criticised everything else.

They've done well but will struggle if they are in still in the side when the Aussies come. Harris will have ballances life.

They've have had very easy pitches and attacks to face, but you can only play whats put in front of you.

Canny partnerships for the 8th and 10th here. About time we fought back at the bottom.

Thank god for this slow shite pitch, and this slow shite indian attack.

Difference being we have a player with a double ton in test matches in bat and they had 2 tail enders one of which who had 20 test runs.

well done jimmy,root and broad actually given us a chance at the draw.

Wasn't Cooks fault that partnership to be fair, down to the bowlers to bowl a wicket taking ball in that situation, didn't do outrageously wrong did he
