The absolute worst position is when a side bats themselves out of a bad place to one where they eventually declare-used to drive me insane in my regular watching days.
Cook is Captain Calamity and the team follow his lead. Somehow we take 4 for 5 and then let it all go with this gifting of a record last wicket partnership. >:( Indian style wickets and weather is there anymore we can do for our visitors.
Rubbish again by England. The bowling just isn't good enough.
When we do get to bat I fully expect us to throw two or three wickets away in quick succession.
Atherton praising our bowlers. Why? Simply not good enough for the last couple of hours.
You can guarantee the Indian bowlers will look far better on the same pitch.
yes very good total from the indian, they shouldn't lose from here.
very important not to score far too many runs in the first innings.
cant see any way india can lose from here
no way could England score at a fast enough rate on this pitch without taking crazy risks to get the sort of lead they would need and still have enough time to get another 10 wickets imo

I've noticed this Test that they have been consistently praising Cook as well as the bowlers
I suspect they're reacting to the way Shane Warne's criticism was received
Letting the oppo add 3 figures for the last wicket cannot be praised no matter how easy the pitch appears

153 overs and 17 of those from the guy who is being picked as our main spinner
Absolutely right.
I cant think of many current scary bowlers tbh.

You only need one appeal.

yeah but the umpire is hardly going to give an appeal for caught behind when neither the bowler or wicket-keeper claim it is he

before today shami's top score in first class cricket, let alone tests, was only 33 and hes just got a 50
great partnership by these two but unforgiveable from England
They keep saying it on Sky ( mainly Nasser) and even Tuffers is saying it on TMS
Terrible isn't it?!
38 overs to get that last wicket
lets see how many we can contrive to lose in the last hour tonight
