*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

[Howe_zat]

Ah right, my mistake.

Was it Saffa who initially went top when you were displaced?

Yeah, would have to be.

It was, and India got it when they beat Sri Lanka at home in November of that year. IIRC South Africa could have gone back to no.1 if they'd beaten us heavily in 2009-10.

 

[G.I.Joe]

IIRC the only way India would have gained any points from the WI series was if we had won 3-0. Any other scoreline had us losing points. I don't think winning 2-0 would have made any significant difference.

 

[GIMH]

If all the predictions I entered into the ICC Rankings Predictor yesterday are accurate, England will be top for a long, long time

 

[Pothas]

Ahh Michael Vaughan's 'how did I just get out face' not seen that in a good while.

Anyway that session could not have gone much better really, most difficult bit of the days play out of the way you feel.

It is wrong anyway as it doesn't have the Pakistan tour on it. Win there and we will stay top for a while.

The big series coming up is the Australia v India one as both have been battered by us and both will be determined to bounce back.

Pissing down in mid-Warks!

We would have lost less points winning 2-0 IIRC.

Here come the no balls. You're a spinner for ****s sake how can you bowl no balls!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shocking that he bowls so many no balls. 3 in an over is criminal for a paceman nevermind a spinner.

 

[Spark]

How the flying freaking **** does a spinner bowling <50mph bowl three no balls in an over?!

 

[Cevno]

Bizarre all the coaches so far haven't been able to correct it too.

 

[Kylez]

It's so sad to see Mishra bowling so pathetic, he's so much better than what he has showed recently. His confidence must be shot..

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh dear.

My autocorrect changes 'Mishra' to 'mishap'. Appropriate.

 

[Jayzamann]

Surely when you're trundling in, there's plenty of time to realise you're off your line...

 

[Cevno]

Ooh!! That one bounced and turned.

 

[Stapel]

Would have been great if Cook or Strauss had thrown their wicket away on one of those no-balls......

 

[Burgey]

If this was a boxing match they'd stop the fight.

 

[Stapel]

If this was a boxing day match they'd stop the fight.

Well, poor joke, I admit.

 

[Andre]

Which goose gave Sanjay Manjrekar a microphone?

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

If this was a boxing match they'd stop the fight.

Lennox Lewis vs. Justin Bieber should never have been scheduled in the first place!
