See this is the difference between between my real life and alter ego on CW. For the last 2 days, all my Indian colleagues were like "omg Rashid and Moeen are gonna **** us over.. we are totally losing this."

Bowling averages of the 3 great English spinners:

Ali 41
Rashid 55
Ansari 85

Bradman-esque

PU-JA-RA's dad had the look of being unimpressed with him getting out. A true Indian dad.

[honestbharani]

I knew that comment was coming back to bite me

About time.

Good knock that by Big Nose.

Now get this knob quickly please.

PEWS, what do you think of "laying" the England to win market?

I like it providing you don't think it'll become really hard to bat in the fourth innings. I wasn't paying enough attention yesterday to make a call on the long-term stability of the pitch (thanks US voters), but I definitely don't think it's going to do much at all for the first three days, and England don't have the attack for this sort of wicket at all IMO.

Looks like this is playing out pretty well.

Did you follow me? I've greenbooked already though.

I am claiming. Their averages look great.

Just need to extend the game as long as possible here. Make us have to bat as little as possible to secure the game. India in box seat here though. Score 330+ tomorrow they are going to be 120-150 ahead . Get a few early wickets and England will wobble in a large way.

Yeah I did; thinking I'll do the same now as well.

Alternatively get them 4 or 5 down tonight and with the long tail they might not get a lead.

Quality gambhiring

yeah there's still a chance for England to be in a position to win this from here. Couple of wickets and then tomorrow is important.

 

[fredfertang]

Into the tail now - should be a comfortable innings victory now

A team who is 250 runs behind is not in the box seat.

By the looks of things India have batted well today but they're still going to need to bat well for at least another two sessions to draw level. A lot can change in those two sessions.

 

[Jono]

yes i agree

Kohlis going to do something stupid here
