Such a difficult call. I know many more decent Indians than decent Poms, and more utter arsehole Poms than utter arsehole Indians, but I do hate the BCCI, and the Monkeygate racist hypocrisy still rankles deeply ... all the BCCI (and Indian management at the time) had to do was call out that appalling behaviour for what it was, and there would be no lasting ill feeling.

Root keeping us afloat single-handedly, batting-wise. 50 in each innings here is worth a lot more in easier conditions.

Giving ourselves something to bowl at here, even if it’s only bits and pieces 20s and 30s in support of the captain.

Jimmy saves hat-trick ball from Bum but it was a noey due to three fielders behind square on the leg-side anyway. Imagine if that ball had splattered the stumps
Great century from Root but probably not quite enough.

Needed another 100’runs.

I can see India making hard work of this, but needed 250 lead to make it even money I think.

Aye. With scores of 18, 28, 30, 25, 17 & 32 down through the order beside Root's ton, there was enough resistance there to suggest England should've achieve that.
But credit to the persistent quality Indian bowling, Bumrush in particular.
So barring weather 1-0 to the Bannies going to Lords then.

And it’s a washout. An hour south of there I saw barely a few drops of rain until late afternoon, so just luck of the draw I guess.
We’ve dodged a potential whitewash, but need more than Root, Robinson and rain to step up in the next one.

I’d have thought you’d support rain over either England or India…horace wrote:skully wrote:Well done, rain clouds.
