Another king pair on the cards.

Hell of a day for England...

 

[Titanic]

King Pair for Curran

 

[Thompson720]

Ergh, Curran gone for a duck.

John 11:35

Shiva is happy

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Kohli is such a ****.

 

[Titanic]

Shut up and get on with the game

 

[jakarta]

Can't be denied the best team is going to win, England have been an utter shambles with ball and bat today.

 

[Thompson720]

Kohli is such a ****.

Definitely, that Siraj thinks he's Billy big bollox as well.

the BCCI dominates world cricket - and the Indian players certainly have adopted a similar attitude. However, both teams have been giving it out, so it's hardly just India in this case.

Yeah I can only assume we've been just as bad, rather just get on with it than all the sledging really!

That's being complementary . . . You're average school team would have done better . . . Classic English mental frailty . . . We excel at it in most team sports! Especially 'English' given we played pretty well yesterday.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I was just in the process of typing up how Robinson was doing a good job of making things interesting.

Then started amending it

Then gave up

Bollocks

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

Weak minded. From the moment we won the toss and decided to protect our batting. Root and Anderson are papering over HUGE failings of this side and squad.

 

[Si Gull]

Oh well......

 

[The Fits]

That was utterly hopeless. We are shit.

 

[Thompson720]

Torrid performance, opening batsmen were horrific and have been for a long time now.

 

[loz]

Test cricket showing other sports just why it the king of all sports, the Windies yesterday and India today both very exciting wins.

It didn’t go the way I wanted but it was a good test match with all 3 results possible on day 5.

 

[Pavilionaire]

So Root makes 180no, Anderson takes a Michelle AND STILL we lose.

The only saving grace is that the match was played at Lord's, where everyone of those ECB f*ckers responsible will have been there to witness this utter shambles, albeit through a gin-soaked haze.
