India v England - 4th Test

[chelt_mackem]

Cooks knock in the second test turned the series round

Yup, brilliantly backed up by KP with Monty and Swann to finish them off. The whole team has contributed to this fantastic victory. Finn, Anderson, Cook and the spinners in the 3rd test, now Trott and Bell seeing us safely home today.

Root looks an absolutely cracking player as well, not afraid to have a go at them with the bat and the sort of player who could really irritate the convicts in the summer with an attitude like that.

Cooks knock in the second test turned the series round

And as we know, only Cook and Pietersen are capable of making big scores in India, players like Trott and Bell are simply making up the numbers.........


Series win in India, I'm so happy.

Finally we win a series again in India. First since 1985.

Cook should get Man of the Series.

Exactly. Four sessions hundreds and double hundred stands to wrap up the first series win in India for 37 years are totally f***ing useless.

 

[scotch]

Every single player contibuted to this series win with the exception of Broad and Bresnan.

Can't help but think Compton could be in a little trouble for his place, if England decide to get Bairstow into the team for the Ashes.

 

[ProfessionalMackem]

Not guilty, guv'nor.

To be fair Aleem's been unusually dodgy in this series

I reckon its the Indians fault. They are so demanding. Throwing their dummies out at every oppotunity. It takes a very strong character to tell them to piss off. Dhoni was bang out of order when he started having a slanging match with Dar.

Dhoni has been a disgrace this series.

Sums up my feelings perfectly. Really feeling the effects now of being up at 4 o'clock this morning. Worth it though. What a great tour this has been for us and a massive confidence boost ahead of such an important 12 months for us. Roll on New Zealand!

So if we beat the Nuzzers and the convicts do we go back to number one in the rankings?

Promote Root to open, have Compton as backup and get Taylor/Bairstow in at 5 for the Ashes (prefer Bell at 6 rather than 5).

I'm looking at Jimmy Anderson and Matt Prior here.

A mixture of harsh scores and a slight error in editing a reckon like.

its alright mate got the kiwis and aussies in the next 12 test matches so that will be another 3 or 4 100s for Cook which would leading him needing about 8 more
