Absolutely pathetic batting England. Boycott's elderly family would have done a better job of chasing this total down.

Frankly, this is how an off spinner should bowl. Old school flight and loop.

And interesting it's been. Gun match so far, hope it's not to much to ask for a game that goes right down to the wire, is it?

I take it you mean it's about 90:10 in India's favour.
This has been so poor from England, and Collingwood must be seething at the garbage he's seen tonight. And it's so unnecessary. It's one thing to be batted out of the game by SRT & Dravid, but when 4 of your top 6 give their wickets to AA, you just want to bash their heads against the nearest wall. Instead of pretty much seeing India off, they've let them back ito the series and we all know where it will go from here.
Oh FFS now Collingwood's run out. Brain dead, the lot of them.

Collingwood gone, you prat.

Run rate is far too straightforward for the game to escalate into last ball victories. If England are still batting come the 45h over then victory will be assured. As it happens that won’t be the case with the captain now gone.

Yeah full credit to India's bowling but this has been woeful stuff from England. An Indian win will be great for the series though.

Was more talking about tailenders needing to make a couple of runs to win the match though etc.

This is seriously disgusting. Even Zimbabwe F wouldn't lose 7 wickets in 24 overs to this lot.

That Powar ball was excellent though.

Flintoff is the most pathetic excuse for a batsman ever tbh. Maybe I'm just getting angry, but that was pretty much one of the worst dismissals I've ever seen from a 'Top Order' batsman, so, so dire.

Man, that is some good solid off spin. I love it. I want him in the Test team...

Agarkar's wasn't… Ian Bell made Ajit look like Mohammed Asif, ****ing terrible batting.

They've just been so thick. The RRR's barely been above 4 an over, and, with all respect to Agit & co, the bowling isn't that special, but most of the top 6 simply took turns to give it away. Truly dire.
Hmmmm. I think India will stroll home in the remaining 3 games. They are so much the more experienced side, that England really had to take their chance when it came, and they bottled it.
One one benefit is that the weaknesses in England's lineup won't be papered over by a comfortable series win. Whether Moores has the gumption to do the necessary is another matter though.

The thing is, is that England can still win this without doing anything stupid. The RRR is only just less than 4, it should be easy for any normal side. Broad can bat and Bopara definitely can, I see no reason why we can't win it.
