Ridiculous running.. UNBELIEVABLE from India.

It's that man Ali again!

8 down.. just incredible.

Now we can celebrate - Ali seems to have hit a purple patch - and that was suicidal running!! Part time spinner my arse.

England's fielding/ catching seems to have improved massively!
just down to confidence or new coach/training etc, I wonder?

 

[pauli cee]

Bring it on!!

To bowl India out for 152 in 46.4 overs and 161 in 43 overs and WIN by an innings and 54 runs, at Old Trafford... in 7 sessions, is simply amazing.

2-1 England

Great result for England, especially as Broady couldn't bowl in the second innings. Without taking anything away from Englands performance I must qyestion the Indian tactics. Everyone in the UK knew that the chances of a downpour where extremely high, all they had to do was stay at the crease for the rest of the day maybe losing a couple of wickets. Yet they bat as if they were in a reasonable obtainable run chase. Is this the product of being bought up in the era of IPL cricket or are they just not that good. England should rap up the seris at the Oval hopefully this week.

Being Lazy and not opening a new thread for the next test. But what do people think for side? Do you go unchanged and keep the winning side or is there a question mark over Robson and potentially Broad's fitness?
Personally as long as Broad is fully fit, not just fit but fully fit, then I think you keep it exactly the same.
