[Simster]

Swann has blatent LBW appeal turned down.

Critical moment?

 

[Mendoza]

A bout of Henmanitis is sweeping through our camp

 

[Mendoza]

300/4

Call the medics, theres something stuck in the throat

 

[dougdeep]

Too much loose bowling and we've thrown it all away.You can't expect to win when you can't trust your back up bowlers.

There's one way we can lose with credit. Get Harmy to throw the ball wide for a four and deprive Tendulker the century. I think they'd killed for it though

 

[Dave the OAP]

well played tendulkar

 

[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.??

Not a bad guess but they did it for the loss of only 4 wkts !!!!!!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I hope someone give IT Botham a bang on the nose for subjecting us to that constant bleating about declaring sooner. Of course England wanted to score more than 60 in the after lunch session but we saw as soon as we pushed it, we just lost wickets. Put your hands up Botham and admit you were wrong.

India have won well and deserved it.

PS Isn't test match cricket popular in India if they think they are going to win! Didn't see 30,000 there on Day One.

Swann and Panesar combined figures of 2/208, Panesar 0/105. On a Day 4 and 5 wicket that is a poor return.

This is a day that could haunt Monty long in the memory. You wonder what Tufnell, Emburey or Edmonds might have done on this wicket. I hope he bounces back after this but I'm not holding my breath.

This is the football equivalent of a "3-NIL and you f***ed it up!" I expect the Aussies to keep bringing this up again and again.

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Bit gutted to lose the game to be honest. Disappointed that yet again when Monty was really needed, he didn't come up trumps. Tendulkar was amazing though. But it was Sehwag's innings that gave them the belief they could do it.

 

[Perry Milkins]

Is it Prior's fault...
