3 Lions - I've filtered a few of the Pakistan fans, and thread seems to be going OK. Just join that. Be good to have a few England fans on there too.

I think your article appears Indian only and Pakistan bashing. Other fans on here deserve better

three really has not been any England fans on here today

Why not give it a try before starting a new one.

No thanks ; see previous answer

I've not really posted for months!.. Losing interest in cricket.. and its England that's doing it for me.I just get the feeling we are close to being a very good side. and just never quite get there..
To many poor preformances for me.. No decent spinner either.

Good choice changing from England to Liverpool

Yeah, I think I needed to post more on the football forums.. And mock spurs when I can!!..

England's containing tactics in the first Test against India could pay dividends on days four and five, says assistant coach Paul Farbrace.


This is what I mean.. Farbrace openly admits England have been very negative having got well over 500..all 11 of the England batting line have first class centuries and we have 6/7 bowers in the 11. and we still worry about losing!

I dont think we will lose this. Fair to say this is heading for a lovely draw. Both team have batted well and credit to Vijay and the Indian top order. Think we would have crumbled if they had made 500 batting first

what the heck is a lovely draw after 5 full days of cricket??the match as been pointless. 17 wickets have fallen in almost 4 days..

Agree liverpool.. bore draw. This road-like wicket hasn't helped anyone.

Wtf has gone on with the other threads

Come on England. ..nice 50-60 lead would be good

Tricky session coming up for England. They don't have enough time to put a total for India to struggle with but if they are 150 all out they will hand the test to India.

Can't see England losing more than 2 wickets by close today.. anymore than 3 and india could be in the game

Played baby Boycott

Ravi shastri thought about India winning at the start of England's second innings.... he thought ashwin would do a Bangladesh on England....

Seriously, do we actually have a match thread running ATM ffs? All I can see is closed threads

Theres no point in England pulling out midday and putting pressure on India.Not gonna create a result on this wicket..May as well bat all day if possible.

"lose interest in cricket" ????

* losing *

Yeah not really that interested! I haven't watched much of either this game or the Bangladesh series..
Some of the England selections get on my nerves.. The likes of Finn being chosen 3 times over Ball.
Not playing Hameed in Bangladesh and so on..(the fall calls have been left down to Cook)

Cook who I gave up on. After his decision to bat first on a green wicket at the Oval that cost us the series against Pakistan.

Not over yet Liverpool.... It really would make sense for England to throw the bat tomorrow and set India 300 from 60

No that's not how England play..They will not throw the bat..

thats not how anyone would play is it ?

i reckon :

the first hour will be building the score

the next hour theyll go hard at it

depending on the score at lunch they might come out and fling the bat for half an hour


set india 320 off 60ish overs

Just bat all day. Give the bowlers a rest with the 2nd test 3 days later.
