I'm gutted I'm not at the game - good weather, much better atmosphere today by the sound of it and the final day is set up nicely.

Anyone else finding the Indian crowd unbelievably irritating? Fair enough if you want to chant (even though it is Lords), but cheering EVERY run and booing Broad/Swann into the attack? Simmer down please.

Nothing wrong with that, just showing a bit of passion for their team. I love the Indian audience, always add a lot of flamboyance and colour to proceedings.

Bring it on. Just puts more pressure on their batsmen if anything.

Game. Over.

The sport's most prolific batsman is still at the crease and you're calling this game over?

Is that because Stuart Broad - who you called for to be dropped - is in such fine form?...

He's been ill, is over the hill and doesn't play well in English conditions.

Talking about Tendulkar is it just me who really couldn't give a shit if he gets a century or not. Fine player but I want England to win, if he's good enough he'll get a century, he's had enough opportunities in the past.

It's like England playing Argentina and saying you want England to win but you want Messi to score a hattrick.

You talk more bollocks on here than anyone else.

In his last test match - against South Africa - Tendulkar scored 146, and 111 not out 2 matches before that. So how's that "over the hill"?

In the 2010 calendar year he also scored over 1500 runs (far more than anyone else) at an average of 78 - bettered only by Jacques Kallis. But Crodo isn't one to let facts get in the way of hyperbole.

That would be Cricketer of the Year 2010 that's over the hill?
