But I have spoken. It won't ever happen.

And in the meantime, England's bowlers are suddenly offering much less threat. Swann not starting well either.

Wondering why you'd be supporting the draw?

Don't support England, pretty much always want them to lose. It is petulant and I am happy to follow their selection and hope they pick the best side and are administered well by the ECB but I just have an insatiable desire to see them lose. If I could support England, I would, but I just don't like them as a team. This contrasts to growing up in the late 1990s when I was quite a big England fan - my two idols being Gough and Ealham.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have Indian heritage or did you just randomly choose to support them?

Both my parents are of Indian origin. My father would have been born in India if not for the British Empire (so he was born in Kenya) and my mother was born in India. My father emigrated in his teens and my mother when she was two. I do love England and have massive national pride for England and not for India, which makes it all the more astounding that I don't support the cricket team.

Yeah. Id planned to use an exciting finish to go to the pub tonight after my football for the final session.

Ah, I see. For some reason, had always thought you supported England (cricket team) second. Not sure how I've mixed things up TBH.

I'm not but perhaps that's because I'm a head-over-heart type. However, the lingering possibility of rain remains a concern to me.

Interestingly poised with 70odd overs remaining in the day. Hoping Chands & Sarwan are still batting when I wake up in couple of hours.
Anyone else feel that just one wicket will be the catalyst for a collapse? The Wndies are the absolute masters at slumping from 180/3 to 233 all out (or thereabouts)

I hope Sarwan can maintain this consistency, he's such a talented and good player to watch but somehow his record (test) does not reflect this. He is 29 now prolly his peak so a good 4 years could mean that he may bump his average up to 45 which would be a much better reflection of his talents.
