Yep, not the first catch to go down. 

[Stickman]

Cook wastes a review earlier and now it's come back to haunt us now with an edge behind ...

 

Lead already 50 which you is already too much...

 

On another note as brilliant as Kohli is he just seems a right smug cunt when he's winning I'd love to see him when his team is getting a hiding

[Stickman]

India are going to get a lead here. Cook went off before Tea and Root was standing in, brought himself into the attack and took two wickets. Cook back on the field after Tea and no sign of Root with the ball.

 

He must have heard you as he's sticking Root back on with an over to go.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Quite pathetic by England today, especially Cook who just poured more fuel onto his very own funeral pyre as far as captaincy goes.

He's one massive bell end. 

[Jairzinho]

I'd rather Captain Hook was in charge.

[Brownie]

Oh dear.

[lifetime fan]

Innings defeat.

 

Just lumped on it.

I had a lie in this morning and have just started watching the cricket and catching up with the scorecard, all I can say is Fucking Hell. I see Cook didn't use Root anymore, despite Moheen, Rashid going all over the park. I can't believe we let Kohli and Yadav put on 241 runs for their partnership. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Root gone, followed by Bairstow the next ball for a duck. Nope, no ball, Bairstow survives.........innings defeat imminent. We're going to be the first team to lose on this ground after scoring 400 in the first innings anyway. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Is this Umpire on a fucking promise? That was a shocking decision by Bruce Oxenford, thank fuck we had a review left. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Stokes out, unluckily hits the sweep shot into his boot and it pops up to the fielder. 180/5, still 51 runs behind. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

182/6, Ball out in the last over. I'll miss tomorrows play, which won't be a bad thing. 

[s(k)aturation]

So this Kohli... the most palpable No1 bat in the world since Tendulkar?

[Stickman]

How many times do England lose a wicket to the last over of a session.....I'd bet we're number one in the World at that.

[Jairzinho]

Stokes out, unluckily hits the sweep shot into his boot and it pops up to the fielder. 180/5, still 51 runs behind. 

 

No sympathy from me. Play reserve sweeps and you deserve to get out.

He's very good, pity he's a massive knob. 

[s(k)aturation]

He's very good, pity he's a massive knob. 

 

 

Par for the course, mate.  Indian bats are more elite than Queen Victoria.

 

Richard Wellesley, the Iron Duke's brother, would be proud of them.

True, treated as Royalty and then some. 

[Hades]

Bollocks.

[s(k)aturation]

Bollocks.

 

 

Yes, of course.

[A_S]

He's very good, pity he's a massive knob. 

 

Are we talking about Kohli or Anderson here? 

 

Really Jimmy, you'd be the last bloke to talk about someone performing well only when conditions suit. Twat. 

[lifetime fan]

Innings defeat.

 

Just lumped on it.

At least made a few quid out of it.

[Ian Sea]

Well that was shit. Got to the ground at 10 past 10 this morning by which time it was all over. Less enjoyable to watch the longer the game went on so not too arsed.

 

Abject performance and tour from England, I really hope the selectors get sacked after this debacle. They're absolutely clueless.
