It'll be a battle royal alright. Don't forget we twatted them over there in the recent test series. Not many teams do that, particularly the convicts
Not sure who's watching after all the delays but was that stumping a decision only India would ever get or what
Was shocking. No idea how they managed to give that out Looks like we're about to throw it away as well, needing 20 off 3 overs, managed to lose 2 wickets and give the game to them. And now a ridiculous run out... running a single to a man 2 yards away from the stumps
Bit of a shambles when you go into what if effectively a T20 game with a top 3 of Cook, Bell & Trott though. Don't know why they didn't put one of Butler, Morgan or Bopara into the top 3 to pinch hit and try and get 30 odd 15 balls at the top of the innings with the field in. Was always going to be tricky in the middle overs with the spinners. Ah well, can look forward to 2 pointless T20's v NZ now before the proper test begins. Bring on the Aussies!
I think the low target probably had an effect on that. They just thought they could get the runs fairly comfortably. Certainly was exciting to watch...bloody excrutiating as well though Roll on the important stuff now

Wow - what a game! I was on a stag do over the weekend with lads who don't watch cricket so I missed it! Saw the highlights and it was a cracker! The Bell stumping was a poor decision but what the hell happened to England? Completely choked and have taken over SA's title of biggest chokers IMO. I will be growing a Jadeja/Dhawan moustache in celebration.
It was a ****ing farce. Didn't watch it, but how can a 50 over a side game be reduced to a T20. I'll tell you why. If it had been abandoned, Sky couldn't reschedule it, so once again, they called the ****ing shots. Oh, and it meant the ECB didn't have to refund all the gate money. ****ing bunch of arseholes.
