India V England. First Test.

[Beach Hut]

We are certainly in a strong position and if possible as stated have them in batting around tea time tomorrow.

Great return of form for Strauss

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Would be nice to see Strauss get his ton and Matt P get another 50. Whatever you think of his glove work, he's got a batting average of over 40 in tests.

 

[Beach Hut]

277/6 Collingwood now out.

Strauss and Collingwood have really done the business for us.

 

[Beach Hut]

With a lead of 363 we should now declare, don't understand why we are still batting.

 

[John Boy]

Lead of 381 now

 

[Beach Hut]

Finally declared so India require 387 to win.

 

[PCBEARDMLORD]

Sehwag....36 from 20 balls !!! Oh Shit !

 

[Trigger]

Ha ha, we're gonna lose

 

[Billy the Fish]

Oh dear

 

[Beach Hut]

Stay calm everyone they are bound to go for it but once a wicket or two goes the doubts will set in.

 

[dougdeep]

Why do we always bowl SHORT?

 

[Trigger]

Flip me even Gambhir is whacking the big ones now!

63/0 off about 4 balls

 

[Trigger]

50 up for Sehwag, quality knock

 

[dougdeep]

Poor umpiring again. If we have a third umpire then why don't we use him?

 

[Marc]

cor we're RUBBISH now, woke up early this morning to see Collys Century and thought we looked strong, now Bet365 only over 2/1 for India to win, should've checked earlier

 

[Uncle Buck]

Poor umpiring again. If we have a third umpire then why don't we use him?

Maybe we need to get rid of the old umpires and bring some new ones in.

That is your normal solution to all other poor plays, shots etc in cricket.

 

[the viscount]

I think India will win by 5 wkts , and will show what a good team they are.

Maybe we should have batted on and played save as C adams used to with sussex.??

 

[Marc]

a wicket!!!

 

[vegster]

Phew.......... 269 with 9 in hand is still very do-able given the Indian middle order engine room ..... very interesting but, 2-3 quick wickets will turn this

 

[dougdeep]

Why do they still start games on a Thursday out there? Most people will miss the conclusion now.
