Must've been bizarre TSTL. I mean, England would almost certainly have lost wickets fairly quickly had they taken that approach, but I still reckon they'd have ended-up setting India more than they have done now. AND they might've got bowled-out to boot, so therefore if India had chased down at least they'd not have won after a third-innings declaration, which is obviously something no captain ever wants.
Mind, if the declaration is with 9 down, I think that's a bit different.

Not going to happen with the wretched form he is in as well as the last few moments which he is spending before he will be dropped.

With a player as good as Dravid (was?), you never, ever, ever want to rule-out him playing a sensational innings. However long he's been poor for, he is always going to retain the capability to play a special innings from time to time and while this isn't sufficient to retain him in the side, it does mean that as an opposition you relax and think "well he'll get out soon anyway" at your peril.

Bahh.Something along these lines should go alright:
And I am well aware that you have a pic of Fat Sam waiting if we don't win a Test so...
Out of interest, do you now consider England one of the best football teams in the world? I was accused of anti-English bias last night for suggesting otherwise.

Oh dear. Either is a fate worse than death.

Seems as we failed to qualify for the Euros, it's not a claim we can reasonably make, no.

That's what i said. But that "was before Capello arrived" and therefore doesn't count, was the response.

Depends how wide "best" is.
"Ten best" I would agree with, even taking into account qualifying fiasco.

Whilst there are promising signs so far in his reign, that is all they are and we have done nothing of note yet.

Ah, generally i'd say anyone who can make a genuine claim to be the best in the world counts as "one of the best". Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Italy for me. England have as good players as anyone but are always less than the sum of their parts and are yet to perform when it matters, whereas someone like Germany are the opposite.
