So having refused to get out from under my blanket on the sofa as it was so cold I have sat in silence watching Cook play brilliantly and the rest varying forms of crap. Might make them bat again I suppose which is something. Whooppeee.

Compton - Looked all at sea.
Trott - Oh well
KP - Brainfart
Bell - Go home
Patel - Unlucky

Still think Prior should be at 5 in this line up as he is our best player of spin and is wasted at 7. Enjoying the comedy value of Dhoni today, dreadful keeper.

Oh yeah, and Yadav has been a pleasure to watch. Bowled superbly.

It may be getting to the point when India is a better test team with Saha instead of Dhoni. Problem is Kohli perhaps not yet ready for captaincy.

Ashwin still looking for his first second inning wicket.

He was awesome in the first innings IMO; figures didn't do him justice. He's been the worst of the frontline bowlers in the second innings though - trying a bit too much at times.

Almost as good as the Jacques Rudolph bowling variations.

If he did get the job who'd be tossing more before the start of a match, him or you?

Great bowler; huge fan.

It's way it was so disappointing as a cricket fan that he rocked up for the 2011 tour up here half-done and carrying a very palpable paunch.

India with him for four tests and it was never 4-0.

Zaheer is hilarious in the field nowadays. Just seems utterly incapable of putting in more than the most trivial effort.

50 partnership. Hate to be a stuck record but Prior is wasted at 7 in Asia.
