England V India

[Memphis]

Any sport where 2 of the biggest factors in determining the winning team can be a.) the toss of a coin at the start of the game, and b.) the weather - just aint a sport in my book.

The number of times I've listened to Jack Bannister on Talk Sport, when asked who will win a match, say "It depends on the toss at the start, whomever gets to bat first should win."

What a load of bollox!

India won the toss in the first test and got battered, they also won the toss in this test and are getting hammered. Previous test win to that was Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka won the toss and got battered, before that the final test in Aus, Australia won the toss and got battered.

England havent lost a test since the third test in Australia, a toss they won.

You'd rather win the toss than not but clearly it isnt the be all and end all its made out to be by some.

The weather is the weather and nothing can be done about that although point taken. I cant think of another sport where the weather can directly influence a result like it can in cricket, in other sports its generally good enough to play or not.

Miserable cunt, go and watch your fat darts blokes

Haha, funny post.

England are looking grand. Just maybe we can make that magical 500 and have a good 5 sessions to go at them.

And the talisman goes........

fuck off H!

Yeah I know Im replying to myself but that was a massacre. Best team in the world blown away twice on the bounce. India will have to show some srious arsehole to get anything out of this now.

England are very good, India are not very good.

Picked up where we left off by the looks of things, India bang in trouble yet again, 82 - 4

Dravid, Tendulkar Sehwag all gone cheaply.....nice.

[Gandalf]

Next test already? Had no idea, better find myself a stream!

Tendulker appears to be past it with this run of form. I saw him play years ago in Harrogate in some small time match and he scored a century and a six or two, very exciting, but many many years ago.

Make that 100 - 6

[Memphis]

195 - 1

Broad, Bresnan and Prior are going to muller them again, they've got to get Cook, Bell, Pieterson Morgan and Bopara first

Its going to get ugly again for India.
