root does tend to feed off his batting partner, but at least his stand with ali gave us a chance.
prior is the one that makes me REALLY angry. all that experience, and the match situation, time to mentally prepare himself over lunch, a two hour advert from ali and root on what to do, and comes out and plays like a pr1ck, going after everything. he has to be dropped. injured (and i suspect he's lying about it to the side), weak keeping and doesn't deliver when it matters with the bat. there was no good reason to select him after dropping him over the winter. |

so do england just block now?

By:
he's quite obviously not fit enough to keep and may well be lying, time for chris read

Imo, this is hoorendous management from moores and co. They have obviously at lunch said to take the short ball on, and ultimately this has cost us a chance of winning the game.

we agreed on 9, not bad!

Time - in fact well over time to flush things out. New capt, Cook out completely, drop Prior, bring in two spinners to alternate until you find which one will be the most consistent.

Since when do India win Test matches away from the sub continent? England must be really crap.

By:
time for the new ball

can believe what iv seen the last 30 mins... all 3 should never play for england again.

apologies for repeating myself, but even if we'd shown some fight in Australia last winter, we probably would have lost the series. We were outbowled and the convicts had way more hunger.
but the loss against sri lanka and the impending loss here are two matches which we should have won and have managed to underperform so badly as to lose them. |

Nothing wrong with Root he just panicked as it was all on his shoulders then.

The modern batsmen would do well to have a look at Bradmans batting . He seldom hit sixes , which is what a few have tried to do in the last 30 minutes . Most of his scores he got as the result of hitting the ball low or into the ground , fielders in the deep rarely got a chance to dismiss him like happened to Prior and Root and Stokes , all caught , hari kari !

IMPLOSION !!

Probably the worst shot yet

Typical Eng batting collapse
|
|
By:
don't even think he hit it !
|

By:
May aswell just shake hands now, just wasting time now!!

By:
Anderson getting bowled by Jadeja would be the perfect end !
|

By:
The buck stops at the captain for the inept batting, if it was the strategy, then just ridiculous, if Cook did not discuss tactics with the players then equally as bad

India nearly there, so happy when they got their kicks from Root 66 (i'm not embarrassed to type stuff like that
).Prior and Cook would be the 2 I would axe (Buttler and Morgan for me). Ravi Shastri, Sky Sports The Verdict "This would be India's finest away win outside Asia for 30 years. They were put in on a green top, and they survived that even though only 2 players had previous experience of England. It would be a great achievement". |

Sharma 7 wickets. Hand your heads in shame England!
|
|
By:
i layed india at 1.02, want to green at 1.1.
india will ease off now for a few overs as they will think this game is done and dusted. might give england a chance to sneak a few runs, less than 100 needed for the win. |
|
By:
sharma is a muppet how did he take 7 wickets. england must be really crap.
|
|
By:
Three English people pleased with this result - Ian Bell ( get's promotion ), Cook's wife ( will get to spend more time with her husband, and me !!
