http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/38401663 This is amusing. Cook just announced as Captain of the ICC team of 2016. Smith as 12th man. Voting finished in September. Shows what a difference 4 months makes currently in the topsey turvey world of Test cricket

Rashid has just had a good series. He bowled against better batsman in the conditions and had two less innings than Ashwin and Jadeja. So I may play him and have Moheen as a batsman. Dropping Buttler who I admire. Mat Inns Overs MdnsRunWktsBBI BBM Ave EconSR 5 10 Ct S Jadeja 5...

TMS were talking about Jack Leach yesterday. 65 wickets for Somerset this year but left out of England team as ECB thought he had an illegal bowling action. Has had this corrected and is off to Sri Lanka with the Lions. http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/story/1073584.html

I'm knackered. Lets discuss this at 4 in the morning.

Many of you seem confused with the Cook Captaincy issue. Bayliss wants Cook as Captain and said so yesterday. Cook may want to continue he may not. It is up to him to decide. Interesting that he won 4 out of 5 tosses in this Series. We could have been thrashed if we had not batted first most...

Hales, Balance, Vince, Compton, Duckett, Hameed (injured) and Taylor retired due to heart problems and a great player of spin. Cook, Jennings, Hameed, Root, Moheen, Bairstow, Stokes, Buttler will do me in the next Test in July 2017. Won't bother thinking past that with 61/2 months to go. They...

I know you're joking but we have played 23 players in 2016.

Maybe he hasn't. TMS were saying this morning that there has been trouble with English fans not in Tour groups getting tickets. Apparently, if you did not buy a 5 day pass on Day 1 it was nigh possible to get in on Days 2,3 and 4. The empty seats already sold to local people with 5 day passes...

Yes. Well played. Hope Cook sees the ball better when batting than when he tried to stop that last four.

My Cardiff City mate sat through the 0-0 against Cardiff a few weeks back with me and has since been watching this thrashing over in India. He'll be back at the end of the week ready to come along to the Amex to witness another thrashing next week.

Apparently Bayliss will ask Cook if he wants to carry on as Captain next summer once this Match is over. Can imagine what his expletive splattered answer will be.

Shame they haven't spent much time in the dressing room this Series.

India might as well let Karun get her double hundred and also bat for an hour after tea. Then put us in for an hour. If nothing has happened by lunch tomorrow they might as well all go home . Great innings by Shafiq in Brisbane.

Karun batted well for a girl.

Congratulations Rahul 153 n.o. Best part of the day was the Madras Cricket Club opening only one ticket office and then getting the Police to hit the unhappy queuing fans with lathis.

We'll get Kohli out before lunch tomorrow. 4 or 5 down in first session.

100 partnership :clap::clap::clap:

88 N.o. Partnership between Rashid and Dawson. 2nd highest of innings.

That early smack on the head with the ball certainly woke Dawson up. A nice dolly by Rashid to Mishra the oldest and worst Indian fielder. Survives and glances the next for four. 383-7

TMS for me in bed from 4 and now up to a frozen BT Box. Turning it off and on to no avail. 2 mistakes to rectify from yesterday. 17 Tests not 15 for England in 2016 and Australia Pakistan is currently In Brisbane.
