Make them pay!

Yeah I no, why would you even bother turning up if your going to at least try to beat us! Get rid of the oldies india or you'll fly down that ranking table! If your watching it on sky have you seen how bias the india commentator is! He's congratulating Dhoni on being a great captain I'm sorry but if i was ever captain and they were 420-2 I'd have a bowl, oh wait he's tried that now he's going about the switch hit being unfair!!! He's a joke!

theres an old story from 1967 when scotland beat the 1966 world cup winning england team 3-2 at wembley.

towards the end of the game jim baxter was just playing possession football and going through his repertoire of tricks. denis law was screaming at him to get the ball forward as he wanted to score more goals. jim baxter's reply was "nah taking the pi$$ is alot more fun"

sort of reminds me of this

rich

Bell with successive sixes. KP 171 not out. Dinger 171 not out. Lets keep them out there for five days Wouldn't that be yet another record to us then?

Yeah haha well 4 and a bit days because of yesterday, silly Kevin should have belted that out the ground!!

If we win 4-0 it makes it that bit more difficult for SA to claim number 1 spot before our series in the UAE.

We only get one point more if we win this game.
Just sorry both Bell and Pietersen can't end up with double centuries. I hope Bell does it, it would be a deserved addition to his CV.

I think the people who have paid to go would prefer England to declare and go for a win rather than just bat and bat for a draw.

'only' one point?

If we win the series 3-0, South Africa only have to beat Australia 1-0 at home before white-washing Sri Lanka, which is doable.

I highly Doubt they will whitewash SL. I am Confident the saffers will beat Sri lanka, but not a whitewash, SL are better than that.

Equally, i think England will go for the win. Ever since Flower was appointed coach, that has been the england policy to try and win every match, whether it be a test match or a warm up. I also think that Strauss is to sporting to just try and humiliate india.

Two further points, It does not matter if South Africa Temporarily take over the number 1 rank, because they are not as good as england for reasons i have stated before, and in time englands superiority must tell.

Secondly, I believe it is next summer that South africa come over to England, an I'm Confident that england will win that series, barring a glut of injuries at the Baseball tournament (T20 world cup) next april/may.
