Off Topic England in India 2024

[Ernie Shackleton]

Eng net score 126/6 at close. Pope keeping us in it but only a matter of time surely?

I think we'll probably fall a little short. A hundred runs light in the first innings I feel.

Still, another 70 runs in this innings could make it interesting.

ollie pope having a bradman moment at the end of his valuable and heroic knock.

leach may not bowl so it's going to be a big ask for england to get ten wickets and time is very much on india's side. can't see the weather saving us.

Putting up a fight still making the Indians nervous

Stunning run out from Stokes 6 down

 

[Phinius T Bookbinder]

This could be one quality victory

 

[FLG]

Ooo...6 down now.
Fully expected to wake up this morning and it be done and dusted for India.

Big up for the West indies winning at the Gabba too.

 

[allowentry]

Another gone, stunning from England, wasnt expecting this

 

[allowentry]

Hartley with 2 massive wickets 9 down now

 

[FLG]

What a day! Shows how much I know!
Test cricket at it's best, **** the Hundred's.

 

[allowentry]

Unbelievable comeback

 

[highpeak tiger]

Astonishing!

 

[Blaknamberblood]

Incredible win, well done England, very very impressive

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

What a win that is, after the first innings I thought we were in for a thrashing, with Stokes at the helm nothing seems impossible.

 

[springtiger]

Fantastic T20 is absolutely nothing in comparison to Test cricket , new lads , playing s as nd heating India at their own game up your Bumrah!! He likes to milk it

i note that england's total runs for the game was 666. perhaps that helped sway the result.

Fantastic test match again. The only regret is that I didn't watch much of it.
Also great to see West Indies hold off an Aussie fightback. It's really sad seeing Windies demise as a test nation.
