Finn will be a big miss for England. The intensity of 4 front line bowlers makes a lot of difference. Bresnan is a trooper but relativelly speaking a cart horse on these wickets.
I have half a mind to jump the draw pre test. If England win the toss I'd say the game is up for India. The smart people as usual; are right, wait and see but I can't help myself. Small on the draw opening gambit. I'll throw in a fianchetto lay of india if they lose the toss. If Finn is out the chances of a draw increase for me. |

For me it's again a case of wait and see. No need to rush in before the off, or even before the end of the first day's play.
The problem I have with laying the draw early doors is that this is an outcome that would suit England just fine. Imagine the scenario . . . If they got in, lost few wickets and were able to rattle up a big first innings lead (batting either first or second) of anything like 500-600 runs with Cook in consummate control, there would be no need whatsoever to make an early declaration and give India the slightest glimmer. If someone held a gun to my head and said bet before the toss, I'd lay India. Good luck all. |

I've laid India pre-toss is I think their price will drift miles if England bat first. India batting first will probably bring it in but not a damaging amount.

Root for Patel could be a horror pick in such an important game. Root fluffed his lines on finals day.
Looked very nervous and choked. |
|
By:
Seems a strange decision. Why throw him in for such a crucial match when Samit has been doing OK with the bat?

Morning. Ah! England won the toss
. Scenario 1 comes out, predicted India to be 2.8/2.9, but its 3.2/3.25, more than I thought, obviously. "Indian money" less "patriotic" than normal, I think.Lively looking pitch - might back India initially ![]() - could go crazy with early wicket, but India price is going out as I type (3.45). Slightly confused, traditional patterns not being followed.Brits getting up late (like me) and laying India? |

By:
Oh my some days you win somedays you lose today poor compton loses all ends up. Caught behind on a featherbed to india's only seamer and off a no ball to boot!
|
|
By:
Market definitely more measured than normal.
No ball? |
|
By:
India goes odds on if Cook gets out. This could be more laughable than the team selections!
|
|
By:
Trott should have been out lb to sharma!
England might struggle on this pitch. Trott and cook have right mental apptitude to bat all day, I'm not sure about the others. This is a Sehwag wicket though. |

By:
geez would love to see $3 again the draw today...
This pitch got result written all over it |
|
By:
booooooooom!
|
|
By:
that is more schoking than trott not being given out schocking
|
|
By:
Layed India with a view to backing shortly - could sense a wicket - but came too soon
. Lost practically all of initial green already![]() |
|
By:
Layed india at 2.5 prematch
Seen this pitch backed them back at 2.62 with everything And then layed draw heavy at 3.55 Glad i got up early now |
|
By:
wow how could any umpire give cook out? anyone see anyway that ball gets within 2 inches of the off stump? not with the angle sharma was bowling
|
|
By:
Can't see a draw.
|
|
By:
If one of these two go quickly
Down to bell, root then the tail |
|
By:
this partnership decides the series imho! Big call and the umpire is not helping. I see some trigger happy tv coming
|
|
By:
starting to think 275 might be an ok score on this strip
|
|
By:
I smell a wicket

you all see guys after drink fancy fix

|
By:
no run after drink
|
|
By:
after 20 over run comeing
|
|
By:
i think slow scoring rather than slow scoring
|
|
By:
time to lay the draw .
|
|
By:
whats the chances of this going 5 days? looks a bit innocuous at the moment but starting to take reverse swing, if england can score 300, the england seamers should have a field day on day 2, then on day 3 it should start to do tricks for the spinners..over in 4 days imo
