1st Test: England v India at Nottingham Jul 9-13, 2014

[TheParraboy]

Cook's decline in all regards has been truly spectacular...

As has Aussie love for Kiwi Ben Stokes... the guy is ok, seriously though, a couple of good performances against Australia don't mean as much as you all want to believe - you must hold Lou Vincent in high esteem too then?

what aussie love? commentators?

 

[Fufu Andronez]

I'm off this game it's turned into 4 balls of singles being turned down then a single and followed by a block

 

[Timbo]

If James Anderson scores a ton it may ruin cricket for me for eternity.

 

[TheParraboy]

I wonder if Agar is watching? Willing Jimmy on?

 

[Timbo]

Agar and HAH's time in the record books was exactly 12 months.

 

[TheParraboy]

what a shame...

 

[Front-Rower]

I'm off this game it's turned into 4 balls of singles being turned down then a single and followed by a block

And an attempted reverse sweep

Just goes to show though that England weren't interested in winning. A proactive side would of declared 50-60 behind and thrown the ball back in India's court.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Good knock by Root a rare pom showing some fight. Maybe Anderson should open the batting with Cook at 11 from now on.
This game appears headed for a draw.

 

[TheParraboy]

day 4

India 3/167 - lead 128

draw coming up unless poms bag a few very early
India will try and bat it out which they should, at least half the day

 

[Twizzle]

Another draw for Cooky

 

[jargan83]

Agar and HAH's time in the record books was exactly 12 months.

BM will be devastated

 

[TheParraboy]

india lose 2 early wickets, poms a chance

5/178 - lead 139

 

[vvvrulz]

Lots of time left, they can pull something off here

 

[TheParraboy]

cook dropped Dhoni (and the test) a sitter too, my oh my

 

[TheParraboy]

india 2/12 last 10 overs

 

[chigurh]

Massive drop from Cook. That's unforgivable

 

[TheParraboy]

jadeja blocking everything 0 from 30 balls

 

[TheParraboy]

dhoni bowled by plunkett

lead 145 and 4 wickets left, plenty of time for a result

 

[vvvrulz]

Dhoni gets dropped cold and is gone soon after anyway.
As usual he pretty much blows overseas

I really don't get the fuss with him as a test match batsman, there are way better keeper batsmen.

 

[TheParraboy]

india 7/262 lead 223

only 50 overs in the day left

will be a draw
