Something about a squirrel, I think.

Shaping up to be a whitewash in Chennai

Pant putting the pitch into some sort of context.

That bat is going to be bouncing off the changing room walls.

He's also just very very good.

Fancy it being a draw with England ahead on points   and would have settled for that before the toss.

[Jairzinho]

The other two tests going on at the moment look very well matched.

[Stickman]

No wonder Bess has dished up some shite this morning ..

Windies did pretty well chasing down 395, away to Bangladesh, after being 171 behind on the first innings.

 

That's a very decent comeback - 395 against anyone, anywhere to win is noteworthy.

 

Are South Africa on the way to similar?

Dogshit opening session from England, so far.

[Brownie]

Yers.

That's "2 for" this morning for you and your wily mockering deliveries.

 

[Stickman]

Unbelievable catch again from Stokes to wrap up the Indian innings...Has England ever had a better slip fielder ?

If England can score 150 and make India bat again today it should set up an exciting finish...There’s been some great test matches this year and we’re only into February

New ball did the trick, I just got it shiny on one side.

[Brownie]

Fuck me Rory Burns out first ball.

[Stickman]

Burns out first ball....

 

Last time England were in Chennai they scored 477 batting first and lost by an innings ...

India scored 700 odd though, a very different game.

Just weird though to lose a game when nearly posting 500 , can’t have happened too many times

Think it may have happened to us in Australia as well.

 

The beauty of test cricket, just look at Headingley 2019. 67 all out and still won.

 

You can never be sure.

 

Even this game here, one great session for India and they could be back in it. Not likely but also not impossible.

 

Great sport.

Yeah Adelaide. 550-6 declared, then lost. Coincidentally the week before I arrived in Australia with my missus who is from Adelaide. Great fun for me turning up at the in-laws that was.
Next tour was a lot better.
