Wow, already a lead of 200, innings defeat anyone?

I see Sledger is avidly following the mauling of Indian bowlers. :))

At this stage, England look like they're going to post around 650 barring a magic collapse. India, for the pride of their nation, need to take a wicket tonight.

3 wickets in a whole day's play with the conditions offering some help? :facepalm:
 
Cook has equalled the most boundaries he's ever hit in a Test innings. Fact
 
Should have bowled more in this series, certainly at Lord's. Isn't the worst part timer.
 
lol @ cricinfo typing :sachin coming on to bowl in CAPS like :akhtar iis coming :))
 
wow with no time limit during test championship, how much would England score against this team? 1000? :facepalm:
 
"Anderson could have them [pads] on tomorrow night" - :nasser

Sehwag should come on to bowl, he's better than Raina.

Wow...not long ago then. Just felt like ages I have seen him bowl...he is bowling very very rarely!! Used to decent option in 90's and early 2000's...used to spin the ball very well (with out control though :p)
 
Village full toss, almost carries for 6.

Four to Morgan.
 
And a nauseating delivery to finish, gets away with it.

Well, in terms of quantity, he's bowled 39 overs since 2007. So not a lot, especially considering the amount of test cricket they have played in that time.
 
England are looking to bat just once this test and bat India out the game.

Its brilliant watching a test match like this where they are just dominating in both bowling and batting. Especially at the rate they are scoring too. Consistently racking up big totals.
 
Tendulkar figures that if not with the bat, it's possible to achieve his century with the ball?
 
Thing is, Day 3 is almost ALWAYS the best day to bat on in test cricket.. this is only day 2. :facepalm:
 
Cook exposes his legstump.. should try and sneak a googly around there. :danish
 
I feel like a looser following this game for this long today....I will actually start working at work now !!!
 
Zaheer Abbas 274 at Edgbaston. :bow:

No Indians in the list.
 
LOL @ Saurav Ganguly

Learning experience for Indian Team?? LMAO!!!!

What will guys like Tendu/Laxamn/Dravid learn from this? Indian batting will learn nothing. They have not spent much time batting at all...

All Indian batters will remember is that they chased the ball a lot to the boundaries...

ALl Indian bolwers remember is the pasting they got from Indian batters...

Learning expereince is for young teams who never toured England before. What will old hags learn when they are just a door away from retirement? :facepalm:
 
Ganguly has sounded like an idiot all tour tbh. Seems to be a blind patriot and completely delusional.. has made some very questionable statements.
