Anyone no why the draw is so short at this stage, long range forecast looks good to me, plenty of pace and bounce and turn for the spinners. Let's start with a draw lay at 2.32. Any thoughts?

i think ashwin is good choice
LOL he's funny he said his mum could get in the indian team!
Depends how seriously you take Cricket. Must admit that nobody has died though, or is Broad expiring? Haven't seen much of him since his injury.
Broad has had stitches and gone for an x ray. Amazing England skittled Ind with a bowler missing.
India not out of this yet... someone wants 500/1 on the ex
sehwag was out of form so was dropped. do you know if he's scoring in domestic matches?
500 isnt that crazy considering if england win tonight, tomorrow looks 1.01 to be a complete wash out so if youve layed india at much smaller odds all your funds could be tied up for ages. who really wants to leave 5k tied up for 2 days for the sake of a tenner?
10000% no ball, easiest decinion ive ever seen in cricket
The last two are bunnies. premature again! Could this be the turnaround draw backers?
1.01 match finishes today. towel well and truly thrown in.
can understand why some would think India throwing this...
Very strange to be able to smash the draw at 1.8 before play has even started what were people thinking?
Who on earth would back the draw at 1.79 before the match has even started?
I am at a loss to explain that one.

and then we had the draw price collapse today out of the blue down to 2.5?
appformat,
What was the Champagne moment on TMS please?

The draw price (2.5) at 50-1 was the surprise. At that point there must have been 45 overs left today. 
Whisper, not sure mate.. find out in about 30 min is my guess.
Have India ever lost inside 2 days? Maybe England could go for 2 days next match. 3 days is too easy.
He has so much time.
If he put away his hooks he could bat at 6.

give this lot 3 tests next time..same as last tour...little bit of bounce they don't want to know...pathetic
Pankaj - one of the best all-rounders I have seen for some time
hurricane bertha wondering what all the fuss was about.
pankaj can't bowl, can't bat. ideal for the india test team!

Less than 3 days. 
If we'd bowled better on THAT greentop at Lord's, this could have been 4 zip.

They couldn't risk the weather intervening there.
You can see why they don't normally produce decent pitches - that's two days revenue down the pan - if I had paid to berth an ice cream van I would be gutted
You heard it here first but I am going to have an ante post on India for the Oval!
Will get great odds! Maybe Ishant and Shami come in for Pankaj and maybe Jadeja, Sharma for Gambhir!

Whispering - if they lose the toss on the day they will be 14/1 though !
odd decision to stick gambhir in this test out of nowhere, are they going to drop him after 1 test?
Wait and back India for the ODI series. Hoping they get hammered again and we get a silly price for the limited stuff.
Card,
Of course but I would exit with a loss after the toss in that case. Just thinking about it thats all!

Small loss in the end but was hoping 4 a nice payout! That was as bad as eng were in aus last yr. Thing is woakes and jordan bowled pretty poorly and broad was injured! Didnt see that sort of collapse coming on that pitch. Ashwin played effortlessly!
sky lot congratulating cook and england.
it was good from england, but you have to give at least half the credit to the indians for being sh1t.

cook must be laughing. he was out of form under pressure and then he comes up against a **** india team in a 5 match home test series!
yeah they probably now think Cook is the answer as captain and that Moeen is good enough to be front line spinner 
England still have plenty of problems of their own, just India are worse.

Kohli and pujara have gone right down in my estimation! I thought they would be the gun batsmen
it's a seductively easy narrative isn't it.
that sri lanka series tells me far more about the credentials of this england side than this series has.

I defo will not be getting involved in the sl game tomorrow!
Through history India have always struggled over here,not against a part time offie though!
Nasser Hussain seems to talk more sense than anyone these days.
i'm not sure if this is true or not but someone told me india have won 2 test matches away from the sub continent in the last 7 years.
harsh on pujara. Agree on Kohli though - been a bunny all series.
It's the moeen ali bit I cant understand. Should be meat and drink for these players
Feel sorry for Gambhir.
He should not have been selected to tour. Plenty of better openers in India and younger. He had no batting and it wasn't his fault. I said at the start it was not a good idea.
The Ashwin thing is just plain dumb. He is worth his place in this side as a batsman and Jadeja is not a good enough bowler or batsman to warrant a place ahead of Ahswin. I understand they need him for balance and these Engish pitches have been helpful for him.
I think the injury to Sharma was telling, the ommission of Yadav from the tour is proving to be glaring now. Aaron has done well. I think not having Ashwin from the start was the biggest mistake though.

Not many batsmen will cope with Anderson when the ball is swinging all day though...should be able to handle spin though these boys
Final test match starts on the 15th, not enough time for India to regroup. Free money England.
Losing your top quick is a body blow for any side but the manner of capitulation is staggering,in truth.
Guess what - rain forecast for the Oval. You couldn't make it up! I wonder how low the muppets will back the draw in to this time.
To be fair England have bowled in some great conditions first up at Lords, Southampton and here they got the cloud cover. I thought the game was won with Anderson's bowling in his first spell. He had the ju ju and India were shott. Fraud was just the beneficiary with the wickets in the first innings but Anderson was the star for me.
Fletcher loves his allrounders hence Binny and Jadeja.
Rohit at 6 and Ashwin the tweaker had to be the way to go from the start...
Very odd.
Ishant is good but boy did we hand him some cheap wickets at HQ.
India don't travel. We knew that. The shock is the wickets they've given to Ali. MSD's shot today summed that up...

I don't think an earthquake size 8.4 on the richter scale could save India. Free money England test match 5.
Just been reading anderson has been sick all day! Makes it even worse!
that's not a factoid mr gower.
a factoid is something that's not actually true.

India should play test cricket on the san andreas fault line.
England lay is aso an option next test! If they go odds on it may be worth a punt. Oval is not so fast these days. Pitch likely to be dry. If by some chance they manage to put an innings together if they win the toss that could be the bet
Just got back from work after leaving a confident position. Come on guys, you could clearly see what was going on. You should have heard TMS, they knew too. The bowling was one of the worst performances this series yet India collapse to it? If you believe in conspiracies then Cricket is the place to bet, just pick the right side of it lol
