England v india third test

[stephen cartwright]

Patience all.


65 for 1. I feel England are about six inches shy of the perfect length for the clear big swing available.

And Botham agrees a minute later

 

[dixonsafc]

Get in Woakes!

 

[Steak Pie]

Ridiculous review.

 

[stephen cartwright]

In swing lbw Rahul b woakes

Umpire gave it

Front foot fine

No bat

Hits in line, wickets hitting,. All reds

Hes gone

65 for 2

Definite ultimate length pitch this

 

[Steak Pie]

Mental and arrogant decision to bowl first. For me you bat first unless there are blatantly obvious cricketing reasons and I just don't see them. I have also stated this in the hope we get three quick wickets and I look stupid.

Arrogant? Jeez.

 

[SAFC 2012]

There's been plenty of talk about England's away form

Are they discarded as being shit cos they get shit scores or does that only apply over here??

 

[rentaghost]

India 180 all out me looking like a tit for moaning about the toss decision. Such is life

Arrogant? Jeez.

Waited for two wickets to fall before typing that I see

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Far enough but I did say so initially on post 2 at 11.00am

Aye seen that mate

Number of wickets makes no odds. Arrogant?

I know this board is prone to hyperbole if England have a bad 10 minutes, but "arrogant"?

 

[SAFC 2012]

Bad review that. Was clearly outside

It’s not arrogant like.

It might be the wrong one but it’s not arrogant

We should have batted

Get 300 on the board and they will crumble

 

[stephen cartwright]

Pujara pulls a short one, straight to Rashid at long leg, just behind square, woakes third

Lunch. 82 for 3

 

[dixonsafc]

Woakes has been superb.

Still an even session on the whole, England just edging it with the third wicket?

 

[The Rat]

Woakes showing England got selection spot on

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Woakes showing England got selection spot on

Hmmmm. Bit early for that

 

[The Rat]

Hmmmm. Bit early for that

It’s not

It was him or Curran

If Buttler gets 2 golden ducks it’s irrelevant

 

[Steak Pie]

That brain fart from Pujara handed us the session.

 

[The Rat]

Am I the only one who would play Ali as our spinner in England?

I wouldn’t even play him abroad, but him at 8 as an attacking spinner is perfect

I would.
He came off a brilliant summer season to a duff winter season and got dropped. Fair do's he didn't play well but he's been too good for him disappear altogether.

I wouldn’t play him abroad, neither Woakes

I’d play them every test at home

Don’t see the big deal in that selection philosophy

Rashid in to clean up tail when I get the logic of

Leach main spinner in Sri Lanka for me
