Succinctly put, but yes, England XI were below what was expected

The frustrating thing is it was all so predictable after Jimmy dropped Pujara on single figures (?). <sigh>

Healthy lead, or a big collapse on the cards tonight.

Would be nice to see a big KP ton but I think he may do summat daft within the first half hour

Always nice to see Monty grab a few

They won't enjoy the second innings much, if we can grab a healthy lead and Monty starts twirling.

What is it with Trott? He can't play spin to save his life.

Well played Alistair Cook. England's leading centurion in Test (aka 'proper') cricket.

Although KP has a chance to match him later.....

Fair play to Cook.

I’m with you on test cricket. I don’t have the patience for the other formats although I do like proper country cricket. I envision my retirement days sipping pints of bitter in the members pavilion at Canterbury and having a good grumble. Cricket is a fantastic sport for moaning as it has so many variables.

You should read this book then http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Last-Fla.../dp/B00546DOI0

Very interesting tour of country cricket and the folk that attend the games.

I love test match cricket, nothing beats it if you ask me. I have the feed on willow.tv from 10ish each night.

Well that was all rather jolly, wasn't it ?

All the batsmen contributed, Jimmy, Swann, Monty all among the wickets.

Shame about Broad & Bres being off the boil and Finn getting injured, but there you go.

Roll on NZ next year.

What ? ODI and Twenty20 ? No thanks, surely nobody watches that old rubbish, do they ?
