Right, I’ve walked the dog, took one kid to college, the other to school. I’ve shopped for tea, put the washing out, emptied the dishwasher and sent a few emails.

 

Time to settle down and watch….

 

England make no attempt to win. 

[Gnasher]

Aww fuck.

[Gnasher]

India outsider of the three at 100/30? I know its a flat wicket but still. Unless it's the odds before the wicket.

An appalling shot and even worse drop.

Awful cricket all round...That's why I'd settle for the draw as England are more than capable of losing this

England on the drift, the draw now around 11/10

[Captain Howdy]

Got away with that, he’s been playing with fire Malan doing that. Hopefully he’ll stop it now.

[Captain Howdy]

Pathetic 

[Stickman]

Fucking stupid is that..Mwlan run out

 

To be fair he didn't look comfortable anyway but that's stupid when you're batting to save the match

 

 

[Captain Howdy]

India get one more before lunch and it’s curtains

That 100/30 looks good now.

 

Edit: latest, anyone brave enough for 11/2 England?

Always fucking hate Kohli. Always acting up to the cameras. Absolutely loved him giving it beans over the buzzers yesterday then being out innocuously three balls later.

 

Bad, bad twat.

[mgw100]

At least we have right handers now for the foreseeable. Blunts Jadeja considerably. We should score quicker assuming he doesn't go negative.

[YorkshireRed]

A draw would be a good result now. 

[Stickman]

Pope gone now.....We all know how this is going to end

With a whimper.

Oh fuck, a good ol fashion collapse.

50/1 now 

[Stickman]

Bairstow gone now and what a surprise he's been bowled...They really are fucking gutless when a bit of pressure is applied 

[Manny]

Pathetic. Absolutely fucking pathetic.

[Captain Turdseye]

I fell asleep, had a long nap and woke up when we were two down. 
 

I guess I’m doing the school run. 

[Manny]

Honestly, twice in one series we've basically donated them a match in a last day shambles. Remember when Adelaide was a shared trauma that happened once in a generation? We're doing it every few fucking weeks now.

 

I don't know who's more braindead. Half these players for shitting their pants so regularly or the frigging management that pick them time after time and think it might work out different.

[Stickman]

Not one of these batsmen apart from Root and Stokes has the attitude of "over my dead body" will you get my wicket, the rest just curl up and basically throw their wickets away when the going gets tough.

 

[skend04]

The English players have no technique and importantly no cajones. Why are they all retained on such relatively handsome contracts?

 

No wonder the ECB are so interested in promoting a thousand different varieties of a limited overs game. They're just producing the equivalent of baseball players.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Did anyone expect anything else? Cowardly bastards!
