***Official England in India***

Nice job, Dravid!

India going very well at the moment. We'll have 700 runs at the end of day 3 at 2.20 an over, and 3 innings still to come. Pushing hard for a result here - riveting stuff!

:wacko:

I think England deserve to be in this postion just for picking MSP ahead of a fast bowler, that's a huge tactical blunder given that MSP has been crap for a while now. anyways Bumble has been on and on about how England should have gone ahead and picked Rashid and Khan for this game, so would they have been good choices?

Very good session for India. Good batting towards the end of the session as we got some agression from both batsmen.

And Gambhir becomes the 4th Indian batsman to score more than 1000 in calendar year 2008. What is the record for the largest number of batsmen from one team doing that?

No, and thank God they didn't. It's been said many times that you're a better player out of the side but Khan is a very, very moderate-to-poor bowler and always has been, and Rashid, well, he's 20 years old FFS. Thank God they didn't get impulsive enough to pick him.

Anyway, absolutely delighted for Dravid TBH, hope he can get 200.

You know, that's the benefit of being 1-0 up in a two-Test series, and also the problem with the two-Test series.

Don't white people play cricket in England anymore? Why do they have so many mediocre players in the team (white and asian)?

After having watched Swann for this series now, I think he's decidedly mediocre. Will end up with similar effectiveness as Panesar. I don't think he's even in the Harby league.

Umm... in the UK most people don't really take much notice of what colour someone's skin is, so the only way to find-out would be some sort of survey data.

In Exeter non-white people are in a very small minority and if I were to consciously look (as I say, mostly it's just not something that occurs to me) most of our club is made-up of white guys with about 4-5 Asians. FTR. It'll differ massively around the country.
