35-2

and Mr Broad again 221-9, last rites are imminent for India

Get it done and dusted before 15:00 England, then I can listen to football commentary on the radio while I get on with my chores

All out for 244.

England worlds no 1

England win by an innings and 242

That'll do nicely. Another thrashing.

Hard to believe that these 2 teams are batting on the same pitch. India lose 20 wickets and cant make more than 240 odd each time and England would have made a thousand runs and declared. Oh well, I am guessing we know where these 2 teams stand in terms of ability and skill with regards to Test Match Cricket.
Do we play the same team in the fourth test or do we try out about 3 new bowlers and a couple of batsmen? Let's be honest, India are not going to give us any problems no matter what we do.

I say be ruthless. None of this lets rest him or him, lets put the best team out we can and keep the damage going. If we wanna be as good as some of the great sides we have to be ruthless. Go at them even harder in the 4th test i say.

I like your spirit Dolly I will take it either way. India are that bad that I am almost past caring. Or maybe I should just be honest and say that we are that good? Guys scoring almost 300. Guys taking hattricks with the balls. Different guys getting fivefers and fourfers. Wicket keeper scoring centuries. Great days and we are well and truely the best cricket team on the planet.
I am chuffed to rocks with this bowling performance today. Remember these individual efforts are against a supposedly good side. It's our time.

I think whilst India and to an extent Australia are in decline, there decline has been highlighted by just how good we are.
Am i right in thinking India go to Aus soon ? that will be a big show of how good we are. We stuffed the convicts in there place, so what will India do, are Aus as bad as indian fans told us they are after we beat them there, will India do to them what we did to them down under. On the Flip side if India get a drubbing down under they are in real trouble. If they beat Aus ( i know i know but it's possible ) then Aus have really gone down hill. Think either way it will show where we are in terms of these teams.

Would the windies of the 70's ande 80's put a second-string side out?

Would the aussies of the 90's and 00's put a second string side out?

An England cap's gotta be something special, not something only one step up from a free gift in a cornflakes packet IMHO.

If Trott's fit he returns in place of Bopara.

I suspect Bresnan has done enough to hold on. His batting is much better than Tremlett's and he seems to have located an extra bit of aggression as a bowler that means he's not very far behind Tremlett at all.

Finn Tremlett and Shazhad are not bad players.I would love to see us play this pile of cra'p with those bowlers. It would weaken our batting a little, but I wouldn't worry too much about that at this point in the series. India are pants.
