India v England, 5th Test, Chennai, 16-20 December, 2016

Gav R was surely better than Peter Taylor

Don't you just hate it when India doesn't get a wicket?

Most of you, don't answer that.

Doubt it ... a 6-for on debut says no, and an 83 batting at #3 is an additional refute

Yes

Yes, when they are playing the declining empah!

Well done that man. I won't burn your effigy. Maybe.

Speaking of which... What with demonitisation and India being pretty decent for the past few months, how is your business going along?

It's up in flames.

2 quick wickets and it's squeezy bum time again for England.

Root about to get the England record for most Test runs in a calendar year.

And the collapse begins.

I can't see an exhausted, demoralised England team already packed for the flight home surviving the challenges of day 5.

Quite.

Can't see it. Englands batting is not that inept....is it? I mean they scored 400+ in the first innings.

End of Day 4 pitch. Demoralised & knackered after 200 overs (or whatever it is) chasing leather. A crumbly team (esp in Indian conditions). They might get to 150.

I dips me lid. Root now gone.

That was a hell of a catch guvnor. Shades of Kapil running back to pluck one overhead off Viv Richards in the 83 WC.

Pure evil.

Reminded me of Gavaskar's servant who used to field for him.

Crikey, England a chance of losing by an innings with 477 in I1!!!!

Think they'll hang on to achieve famous draw.

The Bannies have an unfair advantage in this Test. Instant Karma's return has been central to the match.

We'll be 2 or 3 wickets short.

Gavaskar's servant now commentates for him.

Shastri comes up with the same comparison. I'm feeling soiled.
