*Official* India Tour of England 2018

Pant may well achieve Kamran-level awfulness unless he steps it up.

 

[King Pietersen]

Stokes gone and yet England are still batting. Not really sure why.

Bairstow’s place is under threat I’d imagine. Buttler is the stronger of the two on form despite the duck. I suppose in Sri Lanka England will go with their best keeper regardless. A proper test match captain would have declared by now in my book. Great knocks from the two centurions.

Is Cook the first to ton up on debut and farewell since Chapell G?

It’s happened five times in test history. I can’t remember their names. One was 1902-1905.

This is the first properly solid inning I've seen since Australia's tour of SA. Top order doing its job with the lower order providing some hard-hit entertaining runs instead of having to bail the team out.

Forgot the SL tour which makes this a pointless post but yeah

England have been carried by their best two batsman. One is retiring.

 

[King Pietersen]

Finally. Lead 463, that should do it. Now Jimmeh to come out and break McGrath's record tonight.

 

[wpdavid]

That'll do. If India chase down 464, good luck to them.

Saddest part about this test even with Cook retiring.

There is nothing to choose between Jennings and Rashid with the willow.

Rash has a wider range of shots to be honest.

Dhawan done for now surely? Literally pointless picking him overseas.

 

[Biryani Pillow]

About as dead as it gets.

With the second one not far behind it.

Mohit Sehgal: "Badly missing V Sehwag in such a situation, Probably the only player who can think of chasing 464 in such a situation."

The sehwag fourth innings thing might be one of the stupidest myths in cricket history. Apart from that one innings against England in 08, Sehwag was a complete failure in 4th innings chases and yet people talk about him like he was Graeme Smith or something it's so ****ing dumb.

All our openers suck right now so he might survive because he has the most #intent
