    Can't get enough of these India commentators pulling themselves dry about how amazing and fantastic every player in India is...

    Need quick wickets in the morning, I think I will go to bed earlier than usual, walk the hounds and see what happens

    Muted the commentary when Ashwin got his 500th wicket. Put it back on 20 mins later and they are still ****ing going on about him...

    If we can get within 50 I reckon we declare and then go for a run chase. England under Stokes and McCallum rarely play for draws, which is such a refreshing way to play Test Cricket

    Our run rate shortens the game massively and that's what is needed when the other team has a very big score.
    The downside to that is our bowlers get less rest. Really exciting to watch tho.

    Another downside is that it drags us closer to 4 day test cricket.

    Top notch effort that, going to try and get up at 4 and watch the carnage. Reckon try and bat till after tea if possible with say 550-600 runs on the board then have a bowl. Long way to go for that like but could shape up to be an amazing game this :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Ashwin is some bowler and always seems to do well against us. Maybe he does well against everyone like!

    Would be class to roll them over in heir own back yard with all their big guns on the field, Kholi, KL Rahul etc. Even just on match of the series, would be brilliant.

    Wish their lads who are out, and Harry Brook of course, all the best.

    Totally mate, always want to see the best players playing (apart from that time McGrath stood on a ball!) Having said that their strength in depth is ridiculous and it would be amazing to win a series there. I know the Indian fans would say it's because of all the call offs, and Rohit's poor captaincy, but they'll never give us credit anyway so sod it <laugh>
