England V India ***Clash of the Heavyweights*** Test, T20 and ODI Series

[LOAM]

No because they don't go down fighting. It's just another spineless performance.

^this.

Austrailia simply wouldn’t give in like this, even if when getting badly beaten you always know they are going 100% at it and you almost expect them to manage to pull something gout of the bag out of pure doggedness. India on the other hand as already said, look like they couldn’t give a rats ass.

Nothing against England though they have played some excellent cricket, It was expected India would pick up as they are known slow starters but there’s slot starting and slow starting. It will be 4-0 and over if they don’t wake up soon.

Congratulations Alistair, a fantastically composed and measured innings so far.

Cook 200! Next stop 224 to exceed India's batting total single-handedly

 

[Participant]

Seeing it like a football now. Well played sir!

 

[Cosimo]

500-3.

Here comes the rain again.

 

[Guile]

India gave up a long time ago.

Trouncing.

I do like Boycott and Blofeld discussing the world debt situation .

 

[Mr Jack]

Cook's closing in on that 224 fast now. Embarrassing.

Can see 300 on the board from trott here quite easily.

The team score looks like it could easily set some records just depends how brave england fancy being with holding off declaring.

Disgraceful performance from india can see them dropping down to 5th in the test rankings in the coming years. australia, south africa, new zealand and sri-lanka should easily trounce this team especially when the big guns leave rather hastily after this thrashing.

Cany believe i thought sri-lanka put up a poor performance before this test.

Can see 300 on the board from trott here quite easily.

He'd find it difficult given that he's not batting .

I do hope for Cook's sake they don't declare until he's gotten a mahoosive score .

 

[Entropy]

haha what an idiot, im still in bed here is that any excuse?

 

[Weebull]

He'd find it difficult given that he's not batting .

Are you sure? Given how carefully Morgan is playing, I'm wondering if they weren't switched last night.

I see no reason we shouldn't let Cook go for an all-time best. Even with the rain, we'll have these lot bowled inside what, two sessions?

 

[platypus]

The only danger is that Strauss will want to declare because of the weather. Lets hope not!

 

[Cosimo]

I see no reason we shouldn't let Cook go for an all-time best. Even with the rain, we'll have these lot bowled inside what, two sessions?

Let him bat on until the end of the day. We'll only need one session tomorrow.

 

[Squark]

230 lol

 

[LOAM]

Can see 300 on the board from trott here quite easily.

You’d be better off changing that back to broad, as Trotts not even playing lol

 

[Caffrey]

800 by the end of days play?

 

[platypus]

800 by the end of days play?

Not if the Umpires keep this up.

 

[Squark]

Bad light? ooook


Maybe the Umpires feel sorry for India
