** 2nd Test - India v England **

[Bold Seagull]

You can never tell with Indian pitches. They just seem to change so much over the course of a day. This morning the ball is gripping the surface, by this evening it looked like it wasn't giving much at all.

Fascinating match.

Just watched Monty bowling Tendulkar, it was fantastic.

Beat him in the flight, pitched leg and hit off. Comprehensive. And the celebration afterwards was epic.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Pujara dropped on 60 off Monty by Anderson. Absolute killer.

At the risk of being accused of being over-dramatic, this was the moment that we lost the game.

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

KP and Cook doing alright. Boycott's mastermind round was fun.

Q: "Which vegetable did Boycott's mother use when batting?"



England 142/2. Cook 71, Pietersen 42.

FFS It is Pietersen, not Peterson, Pieterson or any other variation - he has played for us for seven bloody years now - why can't people get it rite?
