I don't mind rain today, as long as it damn well doesn't rain tomorrow. And Gambhir had better play!!

This morning they said it would be dry until Tuesday and look at it. Anyway weather man said it would clear by tea. Hope so as I’ve got a game later.

If it stays dry we're going to have roughly 2.5 days to take 20 wickets, my money would be on a draw... I can't see India batting that terribly on this wicket.

TheCenturion · 20 Aug 2011 at 16:40

Looks like Gambhir won't be opening.

Once again this forces Dravid to open

So it looks like Laxman is at 3 and Sachin remains at 4. Please Sachin, don't get out until I see you tomorrow, please.

Oooh we've declared, that's unusually aggressive from Strauss.

I thought today was a write-off.

TheCenturion · 20 Aug 2011 at 16:53

Sehwag in business already. 8 off 4

mmj_uk · 20 Aug 2011 at 17:04

Well looks like I was wrong, probably won't make it to day 5.

P.S. LOL India.

TheCenturion · 20 Aug 2011 at 17:05

These two had better survive the rest of the day!

Come on India, there's just over 2 days left, and then you're free. Please, just please actually put some effort in

This is heartbreaking stuff for India fans.

wohoo 2 down

TheCenturion · 20 Aug 2011 at 17:10

wow, Gambhir is in. Too late though.

TheCenturion · 20 Aug 2011 at 17:12

Right, I've stopped watching again. Cricinfo will stay open in a tab, and I'll go along tomorrow and enjoy some good bowling. I feel sick right now.

TheCenturion · 20 Aug 2011 at 17:14

Okay turns out cricinfo was wrong and it's actually Sachin there. DON'T GET OUT SACHIN!

Bear · 20 Aug 2011 at 18:14

Poor TC dont worry, you'll see him tomorrow during the follow on

Bear · 20 Aug 2011 at 18:57

That was a very tight call but thats 4 down, quickly taken by Prior :cool:

platypus · 20 Aug 2011 at 18:57

Corr talk about a tight decision.

LOAM · 20 Aug 2011 at 19:05

Crikey it was very close. Tbh I think I would have sided with the batsman.

Psycho Ned · 20 Aug 2011 at 19:06

Think the thread title should be changed to England V Rahul Dravid as he's about the only one who has actually turned up this series!

Pitch is looking tasty for Swann to fill his boots the next couple of days.

Lol the nightwatchmen is out! Well India have 10 nightwatchmen but thats besides the point

Bear · 20 Aug 2011 at 19:06

Sharma gone 95 for 5 at this rate they are going to fail to get 300 once gain
