Well it seems like Eng is going to go down to India again making it 4 zip

they could still make india bat again, but with current odds India win 4/1, draw 1/7 it would be a surprise if it's anything but a win for india

If Moeen and Root can bat for most of the remaining 46 overs then I'd say England could snatch a draw from the jaws of defeat. Indian win isn't an entirely sure thing.

i just saw how Eng struggled this morning and made a call. cook and Jennings put up a good fight, but with recent performances i could not see Eng surviving the whole day. Now i would like to see india go and do this outside of their own conditions

Daddy hundreds and all that!

 

Funny thing about Sobers's hundred is that remained his highest score. Never bettered it.

Correct. Also Ali Cook is captain of the Test team which is strange but I still haven't read the article on Cricinfo so don't quite know the reasons behind the selection choices.

 

Edit: article doesn't shed any light on the selection choices other than to say it's based on performances from September last year to September this year.

Also the first match in which Elgar and Cook had a 50+ partnership.

Jp making batting look easy. Manthorp compared his batting to the others as him wearing dance shoes and the others wellies.

 

# looking rather out of sorts. If, as Manthorp suggests and it's time to start looking at grooming a replacement then I'd suggest RR or De Bruyn. And as I type this Amla gets a nick and is gone for 20. SA 178/3. Lakmal all the wickets to fall this far.
