    They obviously were hungry knocking it off just in time for lunch. Another one to add to our pantheon of abject surrenders...

    We are a fickle bunch, 4-weeks ago records are tumbling and we're the greatest.

    I just wish we could read a situation instead of full power, live or die, on every ball.

    Its like 11 Taarabts in the team.

    Who thought we had better spinners and better players of spin than Pakistan before the series started? Not me. We could have played better this test especially batting first, but the pitch was prepared for the home team, as is their right, and they made full use of it.

    No more tours of Asia until 2027, so we can't use the spin excuse. However we tour New Zealand very soon, and they're playing rather well in India at the moment !

    No complaints from Stokes or McCullum about the pitches. The last two Tests very much favoured 'win the toss, win the match', but England won the toss in this one and lost anyway.

    If I was the New Zealand captain I'd be asking the groundsman to prepare a raging turner !

    Great knock by skipper Livingstone to win today's ODI and square the series with the Windies.

    That was tremendous to watch, he is so powerful. Second biggest successful run chase ever in the Caribbean.

    With the wisdom of knowledge that abounds you, do you think they'll make 30?

    So in men's Tests England have lost 2-1 to Pakistan, and India have lost 3-0 to New Zealand, while Australia and India didn't make it to the women's T20 World Cup final. Maybe the Big Three don't control enough of the global game?

    The ECB & ACB have lost control of cricket. India now rules the game.
