To be fair to Cook I'm sure he didn't give a team talk along the lines of Alright Boys, we have a match to save but keep on playing your shots and if you smack it to mid-on or chip it back to the bowler that's OK with me :down: On the subject of spinners, perhaps if we played some 4 day...

The problem about having Root instead of Cook as Captain is that he shows even less application, a sure sign of the T20 Generation...

You can add pathetic capitulation if you wish...

Jadeja ripping through the English batting as Root goes, I believe the phrase is sh*tsticks... 126-3

Jadega's Bunny back to the Hutch... 103-1

Morning everyone, both openers looking comfortable which as the opposition have just scored 759 runs on this wicket is not too much of a surprise. 72-0

Said in jest but sadly true, they could get 800 against this bowling...

Capitulation, India could make 700 plus against this 'attack'...

India 524-5, game going absolutely nowhere, this isn't helping Test Cricket - mind you the game down in Brisbane has been a cracker...

I'm sure falling at 199 in a Test has happened before and obviously it can't be counted as a failure but FFS indeed... :facepalm: EDIT: Cricinfo showing quite a long list of 199's including Ian Bell in 2008 vs SA, should have remembered that one!

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?

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

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...

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

Moeen bounced out... 321-7 400 looks a long way away from here.

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!

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...:down:

Well that's a par score I would say. Not too bothered by the new opener getting out cheaply as he has to get used to Test Cricket but Cook is frazzled I reckon. Hope they all have a long break until the Spring...

We'll get 400, but India will get 600... :nono:

Smith has certainly improved his batting, he looked totally ordinary when I saw him at the MCG for the Boxing Day Test back in 2010...
