What no *England v India" official Thread...

[Simster]

To be fair, Bopara was just 3 runs from a fine TON.



Sorry, I meant TEN.

 

[Simster]

If Cook can get 7 more runs, his test batting average will hit 50.

Hopefully, we'll declare with him unbeaten.

 

[Titanic]

Lead of 450.

or perhaps when we are all out.

613-6

I have never ever seen England get 700 before have you? I have seen England win loads of times before. Get to 700 and then declare.

its about winning though and becoming number 1 in the world, we have enough, we have the bowlers, the weather is not great, declare soon with a 400 - 420 lead and finish them off. IMHO

Its turning SQUARE.

Its turning SQUARE.

Perhaps Swann can come to the party for the first time in this series?

Tea 646-6, lead 422.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Cook still needs another 135.

Cook still needs another 135.

India's best chance of saving the test, is surely to keep him in, and keep feeding him runs?

The earlier he's out, and England declare, the less chance they have of batting out the rest of the game (with a bit of rain thrown in to help).

 

[Seagull kimchi]

We are no.1
Yes we are
Yes we are

I've waited 30 years to say that!
Am I jumping the gun?

As someone who partially lives in India it's a great moment of pride for me.

That's the 150 up for Sreesanth

Combined figures with Sharma of 0-294...

 

[Gully]

682-6. That is a massive score and it isn't finished yet. The biggest England score I can remember was something like 660 and I reckon that must be at least 20 years ago.

 

[brunswick]

err, why have we not declared....it is about winning the match, not silly records.

 

[Gully]

They have just gone off for light, the crowd don't sound at all happy!

 

[Titanic]

Back out and both Bresnan and Cook hit fours... bad light, my arse!

 

[Titanic]

England 704-6 (187 overs) leading by 480.

Bresnan smashes a SIX... and goes to 50* (72 balls)

 

[Marty McFly]

Cook out for 294.

England 710/7d (188.1 ov)

 

[Mendoza]

Cook will be delighted yet fuming with that effort

*Doffs hat*

 

[Broady]

King pair for Sehwag ahahahahah

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Oh dear Virender
