Absolute mare of a Test for Jos.

Two pretty terrible dismissals.

 

[Burgey]

Errrgh, then ***** with some gambhiring. Truly a terrible day for the tour thread.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

“Miyagi at his worst of a Friday night. It’s relative in that he’s usually pretty bad, but it’s obvious the bloke can’t handle his turps.”

- Quote from Burgey, relayed by TBT.

Awww cute. You're still pretending you have staff, even at quarter to 11pm on a Friday night in Sydney.

Nice one Warren Buffet

Burgey - with all due respect, you're a joke

 

[Spikey]

england out, nepal in, thanks

Indeed

You should probably go to MasterChefWeb tonight instead

Whilst very frustrating at times as an England supporter this test has been excellent entertainment. First day of my fortnight off work was day one of this and ive enjoyed every minute. Scrape to 150 lead and it's still a contest right?

Kohli might be the best captain I have seen captaining India. I don't see him skip a test when the pitch isn't prepared to his liking like Royale Ganguly either.

Given the shaky Indian lineup and the possibility of a Broad comeback after the 1st innings direness, I'd say yes

 

[harsh.ag]

Jeebus, India actually in with a small chance here.

 

[King Pietersen]

Oh ****ing hell Jos.

 

[trundler]

As a Pakistani this is very conflicting to watch. England lollapsing is obviously good but then India's fast bowlers are doing well too.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ishant has been wonderful all test. Turned into a really consistent bowler. Been ages since his last truly rubbish performance.

 

[vcs]

With a bit of luck, Ishant could get his career average below 35 here.

i just read the last five or so pages of the thread

you all owe me, like, ten minutes of my life that have been thoroughly wasted

He has bent his back and been the main fast bowler last few years for us. Any one who sees his career average and thinks he is poor is missing the picture.

Guarantee you're the only person that bothered to read it.

This his brutal. England have sacrificed all their Test cricket ability (or what little there was of it) to try to be good at ODIs. If they don't win the World Cup it will all be for nothing.

I wish it was that simple. Any idea evidence of any sort of strategy behind our test team would be welcome.but really the causes for yet another debacle are far more ingrained.
