    ***Official*** England in India 2016/17

    I'm not sure this is a serious question, but: Yeah, most blond kids grow brownish hair later on. When I look at pictures of myself at the age of 5, my hair is close to white. No longer the case. Same with my siblings & cousins.

    I can hardly believe England have a real chance. But the feeling of the situations has changed a bit.

    Good call!

    Indeed. I can see Cook wait quite a bit longer before declaring

    From the appeal and the facial expressions I concluded there was something in it. Quite funny.

    Great work Mishra! After landing a few balls on the wrong spot, you made sure your last ball did not......

    Am I the only one waiting for Ben Stokes to swing his bat around like a sledgehammer?

    Is Nasser ordered by Sky to convince us that this pitch will actually come alive?

    I agree. And, apart from whatever we feel, I can't really remember a teenager with 1500 FC runs, having such a good innings on debut in alien circumstances, disappearing from the test circuit as a once promising but apperently overhyped loser. Incidents or accidents apart, he is here to open...

    Cook is beating his own career SR, whilst it is the evening session on day 4. That's just another sign this pitch is still good for batting.

    Yeah, that would be perfect. But I find it hard to believe one team will score runs easily, and right after will roll the opposition over for a few dozen runs and a bit.

    Well, those two late wickets do make a result a bit more likely. The pitch hasn't really detoriated yet, has it? There's been a lot of talk that it will. But will it? Does anyone have a proper idea about that?

    Oh wooow. We hadn't seen a ball misbehaving like that, have we?

    I agree. Not too impressive so far.

    For some reason, I like Nasser explaining England need to bowl a 4th stump line, using over a 1000 words.

    Ah! Thanks for strengthening my point, using far better words than I could have!

    Well, T20 batsmen do not play these alternative shots every ball. And bowlers sometimes do simply (try to) bowl a decent line & length. My point being is that one can try to look through the utter carrousel in T20 (both bowling and batting), and try to judge a player on his technique: run up...

    Regardless of IPL being completely different from Test Cricket, it actuallly is possible to judge a player's ability and technique, by watching him bat or bowl in a different format. It's not like we're judging a cricketer by analysing his rugby abilities.....

    Broad to have a wild go, I guess......

    Just the 5 runs from the last 5 overs. Perhaps calling for slog shots was wrong, but this is quite the unexpected opposite.
