Thought he didn't see it till late the one that went for 4, the throw in was off target.

Maybe I've just been spoiled by Prior in the Tests, who seems to be able to take the ball from anywhere and break the wicket 0.3 seconds later.

No because winning a Test Match is a valued achievement in itself. Odi's are more a way of preparing, building and working towards a world cup (imo).
And surely you can still cut the grass on the morning of the match, even if the pitch has been covered.

Kohli doesn't know how to leave.

Well, the rest of this game is going to be pretty crap regardless, it seems. Either the likely happens and England absolutely smash India in another one-sided contest or the unlikely happens and Dhoni hangs around a while to scrap together a competitive score. Neither would be good viewing.

Under the basis that I want to see the cricket I actually want to see, no. You may disagree.

Hardly limited to September, those conditions in England.

People moan about pitches around the world favouring bowlers too much, we get a pitch that does something for the bowlers and people moan.
No winning if you're a groundsman is there?
Give me an ODI pitch where 250 is a par score but the opposition have to bat well to get there anyday. It's hardly England's fault if India aren't good enough to bat on such a surface.

Not this year anyway, the summer has been ****e.

Not really, no. The movement's hardly been extravegant, England have just bowled really well and India haven't adjusted to playing on a pitch where planting your front foot down and mowing through the line doesn't work.

It's still a white ball so it's not exactly hooping around, but there's enough there and England have bowled a proper line and length for it.

I don't see ODI's like that at all - its just like a separate sport. Like how I don't see the Six Nations as a build up to the World Cup, I see it as a competition in its own right, that's how I see an ODI series.

Probably a good move against Anderson
Pity his spell is almost over now

Ok, didn't mean to 'moan'. Just asking the question.
I do hate it when people moan about pitches favouring bowlers (in Test Matches). I think a bowlers pitch is preferable in Test Matches, a batting pitch preferable in odis.
