Deep, a nightwatchman, scored 66. That's more than England's highest scorer in the first innings (Crawley, 64). Laughable. Once you stop crying.

We need RAIN. Our bowling is paper thin.Deep, a nightwatchman, scored 66. That's more than England's highest scorer in the first innings (Crawley, 64). Laughable. Once you stop crying.
Just come in looks like it’s going end up 2-2 all down for me to England being complete shite in the field batting and bowling been shite! While India for me been better in most tests!
Think we been unlucky with the injuries to our bowlers!
Think we drew this series because one our bowlers and two our fielding mainly! Oh the pitches have been Indian favoured for me!

Dull, lifeless pitches just like in India. (Ok I know India has been trying to change that.)Just come in looks like it’s going end up 2-2 all down for me to England being complete shite in the field batting and bowling been shite! While India for me been better in most tests!

England need to look at where they put fielders sorry we seem just to put anyone anywhere short arse Duckett should be in the slips take Crawley out of there he is shite! Problem is we pick players no matter how shite they’ve been so get out for next to nought no problem drop catch after catch stay in the slips! Sport this test team is going down the pan! Oh and pope aint a good captain plus his batting is poor he has to many flaws in it!
The Aussies will smash us!

Think a drawn series would be a fair result tbh.

We've done it a few times. But I wouldn't be confident. We could do with chasing less than 300, but that looks unlikely. Where the lead is now would be enough!So can we chase 350?

First 3 tests England were really good in the field, I think we’re just seeing the effect of 5 tests in 6 weeks and some very long days in the field.

I think so, all the pace and mischief has gone out of the pitch, if Crawley and Duckett can get the 80-100 opening partnership they’ve been getting lately then the rest of the order should get it done.

6 drops in a single innings is ridiculously high, though. One (maybe two) could possibly be classed as difficult chances, but these are supposedly classed as elite cricketers. Do this in the winter, and it'll cost us big time. It actually looks like it'll cost us here. How many runs have been scored by Indian batsmen after they've been dropped in this innings? Jaiswal alone scored 98 more after being dropped on 20. I'm guessing somewhere between 125 and 150 runs?First 3 tests England were really good in the field, I think we’re just seeing the effect of 5 tests in 6 weeks and some very long days in the field.

I’ll be betting against it, I’m not sure we’ll get half way. Still a lot in this pitch for the bowling side - should they have the bowlers to exploit it.So can we chase 350?
Day 2 had 15 wickets falling and run-rate of over 4. How is it dull and lifeless ?Dull, lifeless pitches just like in India. (Ok I know India has been trying to change that.)
I think most experts have said it gets easier to bat on and with us being a bowler down it was always going to be a tough day (especially as we have holey hands!)Dull, lifeless pitches just like in India. (Ok I know India has been trying to change that.)

We caught our catches we could be batting! We been diabolical in the field! And the throwing at the wickets by Ducket and pope been piss poor to! Thought we were a professional outfit
