    Credit where credit's due, Ashwin has played a superb innings, but it's only delaying the inevitable, should be a 9 or 10 wicket victory to England.

    Brilliant innings by Ashwin. If he can improve his bowling, he could be one of the best allrounders in the world.

    Can't see anything other than an England win, so frustrating that it's going to happen in the middle of the night. Ashwin showed the middle order how you should bat. India need to change things around after this series. Can take a lesson from England who turned things around over last decade from being an okay side to, at one point, being top in all forms of the game.

    Frustrating we didn't bowl them out before the close

    Certain of a win, but bet we have to get 50-60 and then lose a wicket or two early. The Indian bowlers will have nothing to lose and we will think we are already home and hosed. Hope we repeat this for the last test...be great to win a series in India.

    Who closed the "offered to be able to you through Lord and also the Make-up" thread? That was topical and relevant.

    The words were English, but had no idea what is was about or, more probably, what they were on.

    I got the jist. Obama wears make-up and he wants you to give him yours. Also, the selfish, narcissistic prick wants to take all our freedoms and give them to our ex-boyfriends. The foreseeable future of the terrain is indeed not bright.

    Yes, but thats Test cricket - Ashwin and the Indian tail have batted very well and deserved to save the innings defeat. As you say frustrating but a very fascinating match and it should end in a great England win in the morning. I shall be up to watch it after a few sherbets this evening after our win at SMS today !

    England won third test easily, though as I predicted yesterday they lost early wickets. Chasing only 41 runs would always affect concentration. Well done, now onto fourth test on Thursday.

    You called that very well Fran, India must have thought they had an out side chance, when it was 8-3.

    I'm watching Aussie big bash, they have helmet cameras for some of the players. Shane Watson hit a massive 6 over square leg, and to see the replay from his point of view, the ball coming down to him and his well timed shot as he watched the ball from start to finish was epic!

    It was like batting there myself, all except the bit where he hit it, instead of a death rattle.
