The power of the Trev only allows Yuvraj another 2 runs.

Patel gets a landmark wicket and becomes the 30th most successful English left arm orthodox spinner with 4 wickets.

This is getting excruciating to watch.

600 at the most...looks like a draw to me...big tons expected from bell and kp

It's not like I haven't seen this before, this is the same knelt down, paws up, tongues out waiting for the opposition to get bored jip that SA put us through in the 1st Test. So they could bowl us out pretty cheap. If I were India, I wouldn't be blocking.

Michelle for Swann. Well bowled. England fielding a one man attack.

by horace Fri 16 Nov 2012, 07:31

well done chin man...gallant effort...if ashtray fails the Bannies could be out for under 500....puts the Poms in the box seat

Indian MO def blew away a great chance of getting 600 up and shutting the doors for England this test.

Since yesterday now. Too less tests now and too much hamburger cricket to hang around for. I hate both nutrition-less junk food as well as junk cricket....LOl!

Prior standing up to Broad, sums up England's fast bowling problems well enough.

Getting proper ugly this. Ashwin should've been caught.

Seriously, is it that hot out there? I can't recall a 'western' side that has been more lethargic in the field, bowing or fielding, they're looking like an underdone sub-continent side

They were crap in London too when the Saffers got 600. They're also donkeys in the field nowadays. Anyway, temperatures rarely go unbearable round this time of year, say as compared to that 2001 Australia series.

Downright scoundrels! Rank outsiders! Utter bounders! Blasted twerps! Complete lightweights! Absolute popinjays! Out-and-out nincompoops! They are looking for a tight slap, the whole lot of them, don't you agree, Mankeyhouse Wallah?

by tricycle Fri 16 Nov 2012, 09:06

200 for Pujara. Brilliant stuff.

by Chivalry Augustus Fri 16 Nov 2012, 09:07

Don't worry, tricycle.

Test cricket in the next two days:

350 runs, 20 wickets.

by furriner Fri 16 Nov 2012, 09:08

200. Well done Pujara.

Temperamentally I believe he's the business and India have found a solid batsman. Remains to be seen if he has the talent to consistently make it in seaming/ swinging/ pacy conditions.
