heck...calling out somebody for not batting well (or not reasonably well, although he is getting better by the hour) now becomes trolling?

Makes our pathetic first innings effort even more frustrating. India need to just hang in and wait as they know we will self destruct eventually.

india's not had the momentum ever since the prior bresnan partnership. not bowling with the same venom.

edges not carrying.

[Burgey]

Kohli dropped that. Taste it Jono.

Will nick off to slip.

Kohli makes a liar of me, thank ****.

Stiff chance, tbf.

For some reason I thought he was a one Test wonder, but he did in fact play three. Ian had retired by then though.

reckon england may score big this innings
looking very good

England certainly won't score big because it seems so hard for new batsmen, or at least the new English batsmen. These are probably England's best accumulators at the moment, with Trott out of form, and the middle order are hardly going to be confident.

That's not what you said. You said you made the post the second time to hit home. That's the absolute definitely of trolling, frankly, and you admitted it ffs

Lets not pretend you came in here and said he was batting ****, either. What you said was completely different.

ok, enlighten me as to what I did say if not that he was batting ****e compared to Denis Compton?

[BoyBrumby]

On the "sons/grandsons of test players in the same team" thing; obviously Alec Stewart & Mark Butcher must've together a fair bit and must've both played with Dean Headley at least once, so there's another threesome.

Did think about Ealham too, but his dad didn't play tests, if memory serves.

[flibbertyjibber]

Compton finding more gaps now and rotating the strike better. Always helps, better than just staying there and doing bugger all anyway. Decent start now, long long long way to go though.

[Jono]

This is good from England. Digging in.

[BoyBrumby]

That musta been close.

No doubt that woud've been reviewed had we UDRS.

But **** 'em, we don't.

[Spark]

Well, if he hasn't hit that...

[shankar]

Ojha needs to bowl a bit quicker now.

Oh come off of it, either your posts are moronic or trolling. Take your pick.
