England exceeding expectations.

Mind you, expectations were low.

Mine weren’t :wink:. Never underestimate this England team.

Really disappointing crowd today. Is it the location @Sithbare ?

Scouse Tom having another good test too.

Most likely. Ranchi’s a small town

This pitch could be unplayable by the 4th innings. One from Hartley hit the pitch and then hardly got off the deck. 4 byes.

Then why play there? England don’t play test matches in Shrewsbury.

Anyhow set up this one. Irony is intense bazball might be worth it in the second innings.

Too many cricketing associations which are constituent members of BCCI. I believe there are 30+ associations there. Mostly divided on basis of States. Every association demands their pound of flesh.

Slipping away from England

On a knife’s edge.

Great game for the neutral, if such a thing existed.

Watching the bbc updates at work, is this collapse England playing stupid shots or is it the pitch cumbling coming into play?

Or a bit of both?

Yep…but mainly the pitch…but it isn’t over. 180-200 runs could be interesting batting 4th

I would say massive favourites if England can’t get past 200.

200 lead or in 2nd innings?

England have this in the bag. India can’t chase a total in excess of 220

200 lead overall.

You have remember England’s attack is poor.

Ah, and since the expert of predicting India’s form as spoken, India winning is almost certain :wink:

I’ll have you know I predicted England to win in Hyderabad.

Was that one of the tests England collapsed in spectacular fashion?

So you’re saying your tipping skills are becoming more universal than India-focused?

That was one of the tests where India collapsed in a heap.

If there are nice odds given for an England win , I suggest people to make a bet.

Thank me later

9/4 if you fancy it.
