Never heard Atherton more excited, rag ****, hate him Hussein and Ward

Commentator hyped up by hugely dramatic moment.

They probsbly won because of your hell of a beating post from last night tempting fate.

There'll be big, big respect between these two teams. An ending for the ages. Could have been us. It was them. Both teams fighting tooth and nail. That's what you want to see.
That's all.

Some fantastic cricket played in this series. Drawn 2-2 probably right result.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

That’s that there best bowler got the last wicket Sirji been brilliant

He really has, a huge amount of work. The over to Duckett yesterday was quite something.

Great test but, England serial bottlers.

Played with 10 men in this test.

umpires had a bad morning

 

[dhruvblue]

Great advertisement for cricket nonetheless
Except for the fielding

 

[M18CTID]

Gutting to see us get so close and not get over the line. Root and Brook took us to within sight of victory but it needed a decent contribution from someone else after they'd gone. Atkinson did his best there and credit to Woakes for coming back out.

Great series though

Test cricket is alive

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Superb match. Superb series. A fair outcome overall.
On a side note Siraj is fucking box office. He lives every ball. Wonderful bowler.

 

[waspish]

Been great to see every test match have so many Indian supporters I’ve never seen it like this before give there team a big lift this..

 

[shemnel]

crackers series really, and ridiculous drama at the end.

Great series and some great cricket but at times England were awful. The ashes will be very tough carrying Pope and Crawley even if get our best bowling attack on the pitch.

Those six drops by England made the difference between winning and losing the deciding match.

Yep, it will be tough in Aus.

Great test but, England serial bottlers.

Chasing one of the highest ever 4th innings totals. They aren’t bottlers in the slightest. Too aggressive ? Yes. A bit daft? Yes? Bottlers? Not a fucking chance

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Unlucky England gave it everything this morning but overall it was an incredible Series that ebbed and flowed in which neither side deserved to lose.

That is worldwide phenomenon not restricted to England

Bet it McG or Wanderers or Edgbaston or Lords or Oval

Hahaha. Down to 10 men and you think we bottled.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Brook and Bethell throwing away their wickets yesterday when India couldn't buy a wicket are to blame for this loss. But fair play to India for never giving up.
