I came here fully expecting it to be mature chat about the cricket tomorrow. But it's just as bad as the football boards. Good stuff
crazy,
Im not too sure, but i have just googled it and came up with this. It was reported in the earlier days on 606 that it was popular amongst some of the indian players (from some indian tabloids) - i dont know if true or not!!

Look at the history of the british royal family and you will find many examples of first cousien marriages,
-------------------------------
I'm a bit ignorant about these matters, could you back up that claim with some examples.
What is it with Indian & cows!? My mate just came back from India & told me they are everywhere & you can't walk 2 meters down the road without treading in $hit...
To be fair though, $hagging your cousin is disgusting!
hope,
Edward 1 of England second wife Margaret
Richard 111 of England to Anne
George 1 and queen Victoria from what I can remember…… Not just in england, but many in the euorpean countries aswell amongst the royal families!!!
If you look hard enough, you find it….
England have well and truly schooled india
so your closest example was 170 years ago.
Can't say I see an Indian victory for the following reasons.
- India have yet to score over 300 runs and not be bowled out in all 6 innings.
- Too many quality players in bad form.
- Dhoni poor keeping and India's poor fielding are worth about +40 runs every time England bat.
- I don't believe England have been bowled out in both innings, during all three Test matches.
- England have better seam bowlers, and a better spinner.
- England have a stronger middle order and stronger tail.
- The Oval is no bogey ground for the English, whatever some fools are saying.
- There is nothing that would make we think the English wont play 100% for the white wash.
- India are under the kind of pressure that makes them collapse. 4-0 is a national disgrace.
People are saying India will be better. This is possible. Its also possible they will be WORSE.
neon, if you can't have proper debate, i'll filter you. this thread went downhill when you started posting.
What odds are the bookmakers offering for an India win? They usually reflect the general expectations of the fans.
india are worse than zimbabwe imo.
I think there's one thing we can be certain of from the Indian batsmen. Dravid will tie his shoe laces with more care.
A world class team and world class players can't perform so poorly for so long can they?
---
Who is going to take their wickets against many of the finest batsmen and allrounders in the modern game?
england bat first, put on 564/5 dec.
India all out for 281
india follow on and are all out again for 276
England win by an innings and 7 runs
that's my prediction.
Jezzer with rain around tomorrow both teams will prefer to bowl first.
England lost the toss, and batted well, We know india can't bowl well, even on a bowlers wet dream of a pitch like trent bridge, let alone at the oval.
yeah but would you prefer to see our bowlers have ideal conditions to maybe run thru the indians again on a first day pitch then get the best batting conditions on day 2 and 3 ?

agreed four times, and i can see the rain twarting attemts of either side to win this match. it might just grind down to a rain affected draw...
Worst bowling attack I have seen for 20 years, and I thought Australia were weak in the last Ashes series until I saw this lot - PATHETIC and well done to our openers for taking them apart yet again. This is a seriously one sided Test Match, as we expected it to be a long long time ago.
"At some point the former world number 1 (still officially number one according to the ICC) will get it together and put up a fight."
===================
Well, I suggest 'At some point' needs to be tomorrow - at the moment it is embarrassing.
How are we coping with the pressure now then? I see India are a little over 100 for the loss of five wickets on this batsmans paradise. Seieren er vår, seieren er vår, vi er England seieren er vår
"Saying Dhoni is rubbish is very insulting. He is miles ahead of Strauss in terms of captaincy and very good behind the stumps."
=========================
b2kArsenal, you are delusional here, Dhoni has been rubbish in this series & to say he is miles ahead of Strauss makes you look a bit silly.
Did we handle the pressure ok?
