5th Test Match

[knocky1]

I think Cook has until July off. South Africa then. Before that isthe ICC championships which he won't be in.

A quick bounce - Shirley with our batting we must make at least 400 tomorrow? Of course with their batting that will probably be 200 too few...

I have a drunken up since 3.30 feeling that Kohli is not bothered on the result. Stokes was batting for tomorrow and Moeen can get a double hundred. Strange to see Ashwin floundering with this wicket. England win. Bed by 10 and up and ready.

 

[jakarta]

Morning everyone, as usual I wonder why I have bothered, both Stokes and Buttler gone already. Don't know much about Dawson's batting, hope he can just hang about a bit!

 

[jakarta]

Moeen bounced out... 321-7

400 looks a long way away from here.

 

[knocky1]

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.

A predictable morning... From here England will struggle bravely on to about 410 all out. India will purr to 570 and when we bat again, 150 all out.

 

[knocky1]

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

 

[jakarta]

Suspect if we can get 400 plus then this is a dead wicket and India will get 600 again...

 

[knocky1]

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

 

[knocky1]

100 partnership

 

[Mackenzie]

England finish their innings on 477

 

[vegster]

India to bat for the next 2 and a bit days....

 

[jakarta]

We got 477, they will get quite a lot more and it will be a draw; Final result 3-0 to India and fair enough as we can't bowl the opposition out...

 

[knocky1]

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

Kohni gone but draw is still Shirley the only realistic result. India 212-3

 

[knocky1]

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.

Dropped

Typical dead rubber in India, time to pad out your stats if you are a batsman, meaningless double centuries for Cook and Root coming up?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Out for 199. One of those FFS moments.
