wtf we often see players reviewing a decision that doesn't get over-turned and hence resulting in reviews being used up.. such rigid views that people seem to have here.

good bye.

Never gonna reach Gilchrist's level. Whilst he is very good at accelerating England's totals late on, he doesn't take the game from you quite like Gilchrist did.

However I would happily hand him the gloves in my all time England XI ahead of Stewart, Ames and Knott.

Anyway Indian fans are safe, we won't save this as we don't have Onions or Panesar playing.

he has definitely played MANY match saving innings for England.

He hasn't been quite as aggressive as Gilchrist but he has definitely stepped up when needed.

One thing for tomorrow, will Gambhir be at the ground to bat if needed?

Sad for him and hope he returns but fully understand if he doesn't.

I've missed that one; what's happened?

Prior is by far the best all round wicket keeper England have had in my lifetime. Has obviously worked hard on his keeping as he was pretty terrible when he first started but now he's one of the best.

[BoyBrumby]

Prior will never be a Gilchrist, but he could just prove himself to be the 2nd best keeper/batsman ever by the end of his career.

& I mean from genuine keepers, not batsman slumming it like Sanga or Walcott.

I'll tell you what though, if England can manage to even draw this - let alone win it - it will be a massive **** you to someone like Pujara who said some pretty cocky things about England earlier on in the match.

It is very upsetting to me that India cannot bowl out England twice. I think Dhoni has been poor not to bowl Yuvraj more. I am very close to losing all support of this team.

Well, there's a pretty good case with Bairstow in the squad, burn or not.

Prior's supposed to be the better keeper tho, but never thought Bluey looked too awful on the coupla times I've seen him with the gauntlets.

What did he say? I didn't read the article, but saw the headline mentioning that England look at fragile.
