England Cricket Thread 2011

Know some people going tomorrow. For their sake, if nothing else, I hope India aren't simply going to capitulate.

Remains to be seen how the second innings goes but apart from Dravid and Kumar none of the Indians have looked remotely interested in this series.  I guess with all the money they make from the IPL and domestic endorsements, Test cricket is something of a long, boring and difficult distraction.

I think Tendulkar has cared, just not been in good form.

And Dhoni

big spin for Swanny and KP.

Got tickets for tomorrow. Should wrap it up by mid afternoon and watch the villa in town with any luck.

I don't think it's about not caring from India. Absolutely anyone would be demoralised fielding while your opponents rack up 700 odd. Must be hard to keep the body language good for, what was it, 6, 7 sessions?

They've been like it for virtually the entire series though.  Very unprofessional.

Is anyone a Member at edgbaston? I had a great time on wednesday watching england and toying with the idea of getting membership to the new pavilion. £200 a year, all the warwickshire matches and priority on england test matches. Thinking it will be a great way to spend the summer months next year.

Hopefully India put up a little bit of a fight so i get to see some cricket on Sunday... Can't see it tho, England are absolutely teaching them a lesson. Good to see the Indian press giving England a tiny bit of praise amongst the vitriol for their own team.

The in laws have a 6 year membership in the new stand and its a good deal for the amount of cricket you get. I go along on their ticket when one of them can't go and im not working. They get me the Test tickets and sometimes get a bit of a discount. If you have the time to go and can get your money's worth out of it then get one as really are worth it.

If I move back to the Midlands, as seems likely, then I'll probably go for it.

19 year waiting list for lords too i see. If i join Edgbaston now and get into cricket big time like i think i am starting to, if i take early retirement it will be just in time for me to join lords too ha! Now thats how to spend your summer when retired!!

Thinking i'll definitely get one for next year. Good value for money thats for sure. New pavilion is a lovely stand

Gambir gone!

[PaulWinch again]

Dravid gone!

Dravid hit his boot lace, rather than the ball.

Laxman gone!
