England Summer Test Series

[IanM]

Series already won, lead was approach 400.... as an old cricketer I'd be wanting them in so I could start the party earlier tomorrow!

 

[Dan2501]

Not really sure why we're still batting when the lead is over 400. Get 'em in and let Jimmy run in at them.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Think thats about right now.Its given the Indians a testing time to get through this evening, before tomorrow.

 

[Dan2501]

Jimmy now has a chance to break McGrath's record tonight. Come on Jim!

 

[Bunkermagnet]

If it carries on like this tonight, there wont be a need for a fifth day

 

[Dan2501]

Jimmy ties McGrath. 1 more to be the leading wicket taking seam bowler of all time. What a day!

 

[fundy]

Broad and Andersen are now just 4 short of a combined 1000 test wickets between them! England are going to miss Cooks rns for sure, and its only gonna get worse for Root in a couple of years when these 2 finally are done too. Be nice for Andersen to go past McGrath and them to get to 1000 in this test

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Fantastic to see Cook get a bookend century to top off the one on debut. Good point about Broad and Anderson and one I've mentioned. For me they will be a far bigger loss and not sure we have anyone of their ilk at this moment ready to come through or be given a chance

Brilliant way to bow out - Cricket Legend is there with the best

Well done Chef - see you around Morrison’s and enjoy a nice easy time at Essex

so the bowlers will at least once this year know what it felt like to have 400 on the board

Very nice recovery from India. Were 2-3 and now motoring at 290 odd for 5. Fifth day pitch and the leggy needs to step up...hmmmm

 

[fundy]

bit harsh expecting the leggy to step when the skippers bowling himself ahead of him! just shows how awful a selection hes been all summer. feels like were waiting for the new ball after tea now

 

[fundy]

if they get much closer here, Roots gonna want 550 in future before declaring too!!!!

At the Rose Bowl, me and my mate where saying Root obviously doesn't trust Rashid and as you said a waste of a selection.

 

[Piece]

Getting interesting now...!

 

[fundy]

Not wanted to bowl Rashid all series, now he wants to bowl him when the new ball is available

 

[fundy]

Seems a reasonable decision based on that nut lol

 

[Piece]

Turning sideways! I want to bowl!!

 

[Dan2501]

That was a beauty from Rashid. Turned square!

 

[fundy]

well they made hard work of that but cracking viewing, really been an excellent series and great to see Jimmy go past McGrath

have to feel 4-1 flatters England greatly, definitely very harsh on Kohli and the Indian seamers. have to remember england won every toss too!
