If Brooke can get us up to a 50 lead that could be huge. It’s even harder to bat today than it was yesterday. Duckett/Crawley outstanding. Being bowled out might not be such a bad thing. Looks like a decent batting day tomoz so IF we could get them 4/5/6 down tonight we could be on for a three day win. Tomorrow afternoon should be the best time to bat in the game. Our main problem is we are playing with 9 men. And that’s being kind to Overton. Where’s Sam Curren?

WTF is Ponting doing there, and as for Mel Jones.....FUCKING HELL she is DULL.

Are the English/British media obsessed with bigging the opposition up? It'll be exactly the same in golf's Ryder Cup, next month..

It’s all to do with the coverage not being just for the uk. The coverage is going all round the world. That’s why for the English paying viewer, it’s shite. As usual it’s the paying customer who looses out, so that Sky can rake more money in.
 
We don’t get at least 50 lead after the start we got it’s criminal! Oh Tongue is lucky to keep out one ball! Think if we didn’t have woakes out we would of got 20/50 runs more especially with a brook of smith hanging around
 
I just hope before I leave this earth I see someone nail this prick Siraj right between the eyes with a sweetly timed straight drive. What an insufferable knobhead.

And the fact that they are ICC/IPL commentators they know exactly where their bank accounts get filled from. It’s a proper shit state of affairs.

He’s not alone in this team. I suppose any team led by Gambhir and Gill would be like this. Gill is just a jumped up little prick and acts like a child. Gambhir is one of the few people in the world I would enjoy punching in the face multiple times for fun!!! He’s up there with Spitty for me. I’ve come across him twice when I played. He’s fucking awful. He thinks he’s god. He was a decent/average international player but thought he was in Tendulkar‘a class. One of my team mates heard him say to someone in the bar after a game “show me a shot Tendulkar can play that I can’t” And he looks more like an Indian Paul Daniels in real life than he does on the telly. Insufferably little ****. He is a politician as well so shouldn’t expect any different I suppose

I think it's a byproduct of the caste system with some Indians they have a weird arrogance and superiority complex. Sachin was an absolute gent though and Gambhir wasn't in the same galaxy when it comes to talent. Ganguly was another knobhead who came to Lancashire and acted like a twat.

Funnily enough I didn't mind Kohli, I always thought he was just hyper competitive and determined rather than nasty.
 
Piss poor from England in this test match the bowling been piss poor from then apart from Atkinson and the batting wank!

Need 3 wickets tonight minimum

Great to see. Not quite sure what the rush is, mind. Seeing as occupation of the crease, and wiping time off the game (seeing we're 2-1 up) is the most important thing, is attack necessary? Bat until at least tea tomorrow. Even at say 4 rpo, we'd be nearly, what 200 - 250 ahead (?), with four sessions left. Barring a ludicrous England collapse in the 4th innings, I don't see how India could win from there.

But it's great entertainment!

What a fuckwit. They barely scraped past tea today!
