After 3 days of curing my insomnia, the first test is starting to get interesting. Eng 49 ahead on first innings and 4 sessions left. Probably a draw, England collapses permitting.

Meanwhile Aus 84 all out against SA.:D

Re: Cricket
 

Yes Australia being all out for 84 certainly made my toast and butter go down very well this morning Mr K.:)

Re: Cricket
 

Would agree a draw is now odds on, an all round solid performance from England in the conditions.

Great knock from the young Lancastrian. :cool:

Yes indeed and could he be the other opener we have long been looking for.

Second Test starts at 4am; set your alarm clocks/don't go to bed :) Anderson is back, Woakes probably rested .

Re: Cricket
 

Lose the toss , lose the game in India (except if you're India of course..). Silly Alistair, he needs a double headed coin, but he'd probably call tails...

Re: Cricket
 

Why did he go to the spinners as soon as he did?

Re: Cricket
 

Good question but alas sometimes captains make strange decisions.

Losing Cook at the death could be crucial, a decent effort so far though.

Re: Cricket
 

Yes if only this was the last days play today.

Re: Cricket
 

Oh dear all went Pete Tong, like the England collapses of old. Plenty of stroke makers, but apart from the openers not many that can hang around . Not too downhearted , nobody else wins in India either...

Re: Cricket
 

Well l do agree Mr K with you on your point of its hard to win in India as l think in over 30 years we have won just one tour there.:(

Re: Cricket
 

England looked a shambles in the last Test. The poor poppets have been sent to Dubai for a holiday on account of they are knackered (and can do some Xmas shopping). My heart bleeds....

Geoffrey Boycott would have then in the nets for a couple of weeks - as ever he's right.

Re: Cricket
 

You have to remember its very hard to win in India Mr K as you stated a while back so can you say you are surprised by what has transpired so far?,

Englands latest South African does the business.
