***Official*** England in India 2016/17

Want that century from Hameed so bad. Come on, you little twiddle from Bolton!

We might have to wait till half way through the 3rd session in day 5. But will worth the wait

 

[hazsa19]

Think I like most about Hameed is that it'll take more than 3 dot-balls to force a poor shot.

 

[fredfertang]

Think you'll find comparing Bolton to Birkenhead is a bit like comparing Westminster to Brixton, a different class.

You're thinking of Wallasey

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Indeed, and of course we wouldn't be in this mess if that bloody Yorkshireman hadn't run him out in the first dig

Surprised you never called him a Yorkshire pudding there, slightly disappointed in you there FF.

 

[Shri]

Kohli's tactics are so ****ing stupid. Defensive Dhoni lite. **** off ****.

I like Root and wouldn't want to knock him, though if I'd thought of the device then of referring to him as 'the Yorkshireman' I'd probably have had something to say

You say that, but had he set attacking fields we'd be 100+ by now and you'd be losing by tea tomorrow

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

So England must have bowled really well then.

Batting to set a target will naturally present more opportunities than batting to save a Test. Broad did bowl well mind.

 

[Shri]

Fast bowlers should have bowled a lot in the last session and the spinners should be bowling in this session. Its ****ed.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

whats this stupid tracer bullet, it sucks

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

India have found one in Jayant. Looks a proper player in all aspects. Just an opener short of complete team. Reckon they are best team in the world for me

Not sure they have a good enough pace attack to dominate outside of the sub-continent.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

ok laxman you sucked most

 

[OverratedSanity]

So if these two block it out till stumps, do they have a shot at chasing this down? Seems everyone has misread this pitch. It's the fourth day and the spinners are still having to work their asses off to get any assistance.

Wish I had a few bullets for the idiots who decided it was a good idea to show rubbish like that.

I really like the look of Shami. Maybe need another pacer though.

We look at tea if we get that far. Until then I would think we just bat and bat and don't even consider the scoreboard.

Lots of overs left. 300 runs tomorrow to chase maybe.

Quite, it's not as if what's going on the pitch doesn't demand their full attention - I hope they're not going to start scoffing cake on air

 

[Adders]

Who did I have the avatar bet with on Stokes averaging less than 40 with the ball for the series??

Not looking good for me so far.
