I'm not embarrassed because it was predictable. Looking forward to India coming here in 2018 as they are a great side and have the best captain around.
The best result is Joe Root being Captain of the team by next Summer. Cook will be telling Strauss he has nothing more to offer in the week...
The England Circus moves on to Chennai with little to play for. Pride has long gone. Great effort by India will they now relax or give any players a rest, I wonder. After that England can forget their overseas spinning nightmare for a couple of years.
I saw Moheen take 6-67 in the second innings against India at the Rose Bowl a couple of years back and England won by 266 runs. Half the Indian team that day have played this series including Vijay, Kohli and Jadeja andthey were captained by Dohni.
Look forward to them coming over here. Should...
At least I got up in time for a wicket.,morning all.
0-1.
Edit 1-1
We get 700 in the two sessions today and we're in with a chance. Wonder if Hammeed was thinking 'Yeeeeeeessssssss' as Jennings walked.
I respect Kohli in the same way as I do Ponting. Both annoying to watch England play against but great captains and cricketers. Saw Kohli chatting to Hameed after his injury last match telling him how well he'd done. Remember 5 years ago at Hove.

307-6
Good bowling by Rashid. I've worked out that once Kohli gets his obligatory 100 and Ashwin his obligatory 50 we need to take the other 4 wickets for 10 runs to be on par for first innings.
300-4
"Root, Root will tear them apart again
Root, Root will tear them apart again
Root, Root will tear them apart again
Root, Root will tear them apart again
And so on.........."
Reason I want Root to replace Cook as captain is that Cook seems to have a pre programmed, non interested lately, style of captaincy. I'd have given Ball a couple of early overs with one spinner at the other end.. I know it's a spinners wicket but Ball is on a high and our spinners have a long...
