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

[Squark]

yay Cook 250

 

[Weebull]

I see Extras stormed past the half-century too and is now closing on Dhoni's score.

Never mind Cook, maybe Extras should aim to beat India's score.

 

[Cosimo]

Cook gets his 250.

 

[sigma]

Why do our players keep having to leave? I don't understand. I thought we just ran back and forth between those little sticks, and left the long walks to the Indians?

Boredom?

 

[ringo747]

You really have to look twice at some of these scorecards these days with England involved. A few years back there never seemed to be many huge scores.

 

[sigma]

Still quite disappointed that TC is not posting.

Fair enough, the team is losing but it's time to face up to facts not cry in the corner.

Edit - Actually, he hasn't logged on since the 4th Aug so perhaps there are other reasons.

Maybe he got arrested for rioting in Tottenham?

 

[Cosimo]

Prior gone 613-6.

 

[Squark]

Lol
Middle order collapse? (kinda)

 

[Pighardia]

The fightback begins now. And you thought we were safe!

 

[Weebull]

Bloody England, collapsing again.

 

[ringo747]

I think England need to learn to change the pace a bit better. They should have put the boot down ages ago. I know Cook won't do that but in general they take so so long once they have a huge lead.

It was understandable though. The India attack was so bad that Morgan and Bopara couldn't afford to get out cheaply so they just concerntrated on building an innings

 

[strumpusplunket]

Surely Bres, Broad and Swannage will hit the gas now?

 

[mmj_uk]

Are we likely to declare whilst Cook is still in? it's not like we're short of time to bowl them out.

 

[Pighardia]

I'd be very suprised if they didn't declare today. Surely they will want some time this evening to bowl at them

 

[strumpusplunket]

He (and Strauss) sure to have Gatt's 333 on his mind, surely?

 

[Squark]

I doubt they'd declare with him unbeaten, just no need to

 

[weringo]

Swann must be licking his lips the way the ball's moving.

 

[Squark]

Cook must be taking a bit of a break, he hasn't put many runs on in a while.
