Cricket: 2014 India tour of England, 9th July-7th September

[BlackLabel]

Overs are irrelevant now because it's not going to rain.

So 120 odd runs to get between Root, Prior, Stokes, Tremlett, Broad and Anderson. That's certainly achievable if they bat sensibly because I don't see too many demons in this pitch.

edit - wtf was that Prior.

and WTF was that from Stokes.

Root is scoring, just hold the other end up.

[BlackLabel]

Pathetic really.

It's all down to Joe Root now.

[Petrol Only]

Game over.

Same old England.

[hornetrider]

fk me. Sack the lot of them.

[Mark-C]

I really wish I could be surprised by this

[suthol]

I heard there's a batting spot for Anderson in the Ontario 1st 11, they don't want the rest feel they'd be over graded

ffs in process of being upgraded to FFS! but it appears that only a FFS!!!! will now suffice.



That is all.

[Challo]

We had a hope....it was faint and just about in reach then normal order resumed and we chucked it in and collapsed like a pack of cards

[NormalWisdom]

Not quite sure which of those last 3 to give the prize to. Totally ridiculous!

[hornetrider]

Broad walks.

That is all.

Unfortunately that just about sums it up.... miserable.... well at least it means I can go off and do something else rather than sitting on the edge of the sofa.

Uh ohh... there's another one...

Just to save you the effort FiF.....

FFS!!!!

[BraveSirRobin]

And now Broad out to a short ball down the leg side!
Brainless from Prior, Stokes and (this time) Root. With a bit of restraint this game was winnable.
India have shown how to bat and bowl on this pitch - our so-called senior players have contributed nothing with bat or ball.

Thanks for that - now humming a Drifters tunes

[Podie]

Right, back to work - it's less depressing.

[SydneyBridge]

Down to our most in form batsmen to knock off the last 100 runs.

yeah don't think so..
Can think of at least 2/3 players that need dropping for their own good and new blood bought in for the last 3 tests - what have we to lose??

[hornetrider]

Perfect finish.
