England v India - Third Test, 10/07

DR CHEESE said:
Yes exactly what India did in the first test and what most test teams do .. .although they could just work out how many overs left as in 2 overs and just go past 630 ...no buggy!

Already past the scheduled finish time for the 90 overs at 6pm, only half an hour to be added. The game needs sorting out, but as you said the Indians have been walking away when bowlers have been halfway through their run up, for no good reason, on many occasions. Rahul did it loads in one innings. Got no sympathy with them.

Its up to the ICC to sort it all out.

His reaction after another 12th man, Gary Pratt, ran him out in 2005 was also priceless. Shouting abuse at Duncan Fletcher as he stormed off! 😂

Mentioned that Cardiff game in comparing bashir to Monty in the batting stakes

I was surprised it was less than an hour that partnership

It felt longer at the time There was a thread where everyone was trying to work out the exact finish time if we lost the last wicket

Bumble was on comms at the time as well with gower

That was tremendous! Ponting telling the 12th man to f off when he appeared with a pair of gloves for Monty was hilarious. 😂

Loved Ponting the batsman, but he was an absolute twat of a captain.

Agreed. Superb player. His dummy spitting etc was pathetic but when it came to time at the create he was class. When he was cut by Harmison was great. Not as in great he was hurt, more his fuck you, let's have it attitude.

Crawley doing us proud, can’t stand India.

They wanted the ball changed every 2 mins and cried when the new ball wasn’t as good as the one they replaced the hypocritical arseholes.

I can’t decide who is a bigger tit, Gill or Kohli

Still Kohli for me, but Gill is showing great potential to be a grade A pillock in the years to come.

I do like Siraj though. He's more a pantomime villan to me.
 
Missed most this afternoon. Just caught the highlights. Looks like our bowlers toiled but stuck at it, fair play.

That run out from Stokes at lunch was key. Little fat shit was stepping through the gears, glad we got him. Bash did well to get Rahul, jury is still out on him though but that top order wicket will do him the world of good.

Disappointed at the 3-4 run out opportunities missed. Could've had a little lead but getting the last 4 wickets for 10 runs makes up for that imo.

Test and series on a knifes edge. Could go either way Day 4. Hopefully we smash the fuck out of them. Leave an hour at end of days play with a lead of 375. That should be tempting enough without being daft.

Been a class series. Love test cricket!

I bet he fights dirty too. Slaps scratches and bites.
