I like Paul Collingwood as a commentator. He really adds insights. I just wanted to say that. And he wouldn't have farkin dropped that catch at slip.

by doctorspin Thu 06 Dec 2012, 03:43

It was Swann who dropped it, but SACK....COOK....NOW!!!! The skip has to take responsibility

by tricycle Thu 06 Dec 2012, 03:46

Only 308 to reach 600, seems a more realistic possibility by the minute.

by doctorspin Thu 06 Dec 2012, 03:46

Monty does the job, instead of relying on feckless slips and skips. Just convince the ump it would have hit. Only cost 5 runs that drop.

At 1 run a minute that's only 5 hours; and plenty time left in this match. Don't be so negative. It's a flat track.

Aye, it's still within reach.

Sharma misses his double century.

The Indian commentators are good eh? Just before Monty flattened Sharma's stumps they were saying what a good blocker he was. Can we have more of whatever was in that?

In the second innings, just demote Sharma to 11 and send him out as nightwatchman. Simples.

Bhogle's become that irritating screeching noise in the ears, and he's replace by Siva. How brilliant.

Target is under 300 now. See. Have faith. Toni ripping the England attack apart.

by SG Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:03

Great hitting by Dhoni.

by SG Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:04

Dhoni showing Monty his worth.

by tricycle Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:04

Less than 50 shots away from 600.

You should replace Doughnut.

Showing Monty up as the pie merchant he really is.

Gambhir himself admitted that run out was his fault.

Even though I don't like him one bit, it was nice to see him taking responsibility for his actions though it seems hypoctritical of him to always talk about team coming first before individuals as he hardly ever practices what he preaches to others.

I know, I'm wasted in my profession.

400ish would've been a good total on this pitch. But never mind, all the onus on Indian trundlers and (KP) now.

by SG Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:09

Dhoni showing selfish Gambhir how to farm the strike with tailenders.

by horace Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:10

Dhoni obviously did not attend the S Waugh seminars on how to get red ink

by horace Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:21

Cook brings on the Chin...to improve his figures?

Monty has bowled more than twice the number of the Chin's overs

Left hand bat at 11, have the ball spinning away, Cook captaining by numbers; Sack 'ím.....now.

by SG Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:27

4 maidens on the trot.

by SG Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:32

50 for Dhoni.

I thought I'd never say this for Dhoni in test cricket, but well played. Could prove to be a crucial innings.

by SG Thu 06 Dec 2012, 04:33

And he goes immediately after that.

All out for 316.
