    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    Indeed. An Indian win seems extremely unlikely. So, from a series point of view, that is good. India being 2-0 ahead after 3 of tests is probably not going to make this series any better. The question is, wat is the best to hope for? If England win this easily from here, which I think might...

    That smile on Cook's face is priceless!

    He can simply sit on his arse for 6 more deliveries, right?

    450+ ? 550-600.....

    Fair enough. It's just that it's easy to mistake a deflection of the thigh pad for an edge, imho. We've seen far worse, not?

    Not sure it qualifies as a howler.

    Hey, something tells me you are at an office somewhere in SA, with not TV-set around.

    Just there. 15 overs to go now. Hey, and a wicket! JPD gone.

    If you're an England fan, watching Ballance bat is probably splendid to watch. If you're just a cricket fan, it indeed becomes somewhat worse to watch. Must say I can really enjoy the not-so-naturally-gifted batsmen apply and simply play the shots they actually can play. I've always admired Paul...

    Not on day 5, surely?

    Afaik, only when overs are lost. Considering the extreme over rate, hardly any overs have been lost. So, 9 overs to go, I guess.

    Not going anywhere, this....... Current partnership 19 runs, 17.2 overs, RR: 1.09 (Amla 9, de Villiers 9)

    Sure, but you need two batsmen for a stable 50+ opening average. Smith did well in opening partnerships with Gibbs, before Amla was there, I reckon.

    Ponting batted after Hayden/Langer. Dravid batted after Sehwag/Gambhir. Amla bats after...., uhm, well, have to look that up.

    Just the single drop, right? And howmany run-out chances would have been Out, would it have been direct hits? Did I miss something? Or do journalists take the piss out of facts as they like?

    Howmany times do we see a Test's first day in England concluded in time? Must be a rarity!

    I'll be earnest. It wasn't. I was falsely informed by cricinfo.

    Hmmmm, this appears to be Cook's first dismissal ever when in the nineties......
