    Series Predictions

    Didn't make a prediction but it would probably have been England 3-1. I guess we were close to that but even if India had lost this one, they have been substantially more competitive than I expected. The two most pleasant surprises have been the all-round batting performance which may be the...

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    To be honest India looked flat at various points in the Brooks/Root partership. They they got a couple of wickets and fought like tigers to get the win.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    What were the odds on a draw when India was 0 for 2 at Manchester ? And on an India win when Brooks and Root were together. It's been a sensational fight back in both games to draw the series.

    Poor cricket from Jurel. That could be the series right there.

    Put some fielders in to save the run.

    Wow ! This is going to be one of the great finishes.

    India has the edge but this will probably boil down to luck. England will throw their bats and swing and miss a lot and the cricket gods will determine what happens.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    India sliding towards defeat here. Excellent batting from England but also some mediocre captaincy from Gill who has over-bowled his pacers till they have little left in the tank. You have to mix things up with spinners even if just to give your pacers some rest but also to pose different...

    India losing the plot here. At least lunch will come soon and give them the opportunity to regroup.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    This is thrilling cricket; whatever you think about Bazball it's hugely entertaining.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    A crucial phase of the game will come soon when India has to use a spinner. How much turn is there and can the spinner actually put some pressure instead of just leaking runs from one end. India doesn't have a quality spinner in these conditions but both Sundar and Jadeja have the ability to...

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Absolutely brilliant passage of play. England seemed to break free with a string of boundaries and Siraj produces a magic ball to peg them back again.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Batting is looking easy right now. You have to wonder what a par score is on this pitch in these conditions against a good England lineup. 300? 325? OTOH some rain is forecast for tomorrow and that may help India with overcast conditions and play stoppages. And each of their pacers has found...

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Jadeja needs to just go for it now. It's the only slim chance and no one will blame him if he gets out.
