Cricket: India 115/5 on 11:12 - Feb 25 by SuffolkPOSH | Root to hit a double century |
A century stand would probably be about enough to win the match ... provided the rest of them don't all go for 0 like the first two wickets. |  |

The difference two men batting properly makes. |  |

Cricket: India 115/5 on 10:10 - Feb 25 by gainsboroughblue | It would be hilarious if we beat this lot on this pitch courtesy of picking 4 seamers and them getting spun out by a part-time offie. I do think Root is better than a part-timer though. |
particularly on pitches like this We are making Axar Patel look like the best bowler who has ever played the game He has a first class average of 28 and a bit so he's certainly competent but not quite the genius he currently appears to be |  |

I'm a bit more confident that we'll make India bat again now. Still 19 runs to go though..... |  |

Cricket: India 115/5 on 11:39 - Feb 25 with 1169 views | The_Romford_Blue | I’m quite big on India here (I’ll link the tweet so it isn’t aftertiming from myself) but I just can’t believe some of these stupid shots from England. Sibley there has just tried to go over cow corner there on a ripping pitch against the spin. It’s just a terrible cricket shot. The mentality when we lose a wicket or two away from home has been a problem for many a year and it’s going the same way here. If my India bet doesn’t land from here I will be very suprised. It’s just poor with the bat from england yet again. |  |

Benefit of doubt to the batsman there but couldn't have really argue too much either way. Seems to possibly hit pad marginally before the edge. [Post edited 25 Feb 2021 12:01]

Yes. First Michelle for an England captain since Willis. |  | |  |

Thats not a bad stat, although I supposed most captains since Willis have been batsman |  |

14 wickets and 114 runs so far today. It's quite fun - and still better than the heavy defeat that looked likely this time yesterday - but it's not Test cricket. |  |
