Its a shame he got out then as i got the feeling if he got to 100 he would have gone all out attack which would have been a joy to watch (well maybe not for you) but would have been a good battle between him and monty.

agree

Still 2 and abit days left and the forecasts are good to get full days without interuptions. As play goes on today the pitch will get worse and get better and better for Kumble.

Depending on stratagy and wickets they might go gung ho after tea.

Makes sense but I can't help feeling that this sort of tactics/thinking is what has kept India (and a few years ago England) from really kicking on to be sides comparable to Australia. A lack of willingness to take reasonable risks to really hurt the opposition.

I really hope they do go for it after tea it has become quite a stale game.

Our bowlers seem to have become more consistent of late but we have badly lacked a real cutting edge.

Are you watching on TV. I'm listening to TMS but there seems to be some doubt about that catch, what did you think?

Simon Turfull (sp?) betta not be umpiring in India any time soon All he has to do now is give a dodgy decision against Dhoni and he will be the most hated man in India

He didn't touch it imo and that seems to be the same thoughts as the commentaters and snicko says no edge.

Hurrah, a genuine dismissal.

So is anyone in the England dressing room going to explain the LBW laws to Cook?

Pietersen gone. Game over!

[captainfog]

england have been very unlucky this series

Last match - India saved by weather

This match - decided at the toss


It could all have been very different and we do not deserve to be behind in this series (assuming the inevitable happens)
