The International Cricket Thread

Can go one of two ways today - India will go through England and will be batting again with an hour left of the day chasing 220 or so, or it’s 380 for 4 and it’s a declaration over night.

Personally, I don’t think England have the bowling to beat the Indians, I do think India have the bowling to get 20 English wickets. Be a good draw in my opinion.

I don't mind that send off from Siraj to Duckett. Our bowlers could do with that sort of fire in the belly.

Crawley can...grrrrrr

[taylorsworkrate]

That should be the end for Crawley in this team.

It won't be though.

[PaulWinch again]

Real danger now. Not good enough from the top order.

[taylorsworkrate]

Its been pretty gutless from England this morning. Its been a bit up and down but no application or fight from the top order. Duckett and Crawley have both played pathetic shots to get out.

He is joke of an opener for international class cricket and his fielding has been dire as well in this series.

His dad plays golf with Rob Key though. Makes him undroppable. His record over a large time period now is abysmal.

[taylorsworkrate]

Wow. This has been a disastrous "effort" this morning.

3 wickets just thrown away.

[PaulWinch again]

Brook, for all his talent plays some idiotic shots at bad times.

[PaulWinch again]

Urgh solid partnership but Root gone. I think we still need another hundred.

[PaulWinch again]

Big trouble now. Smith gone.

Option 1 it is

You never feel England will bat the day when there’s any pressure. Going nowhere here.
