What percentage of pubs in England would you say show test matches?

Would normally be the perfect solution, but sadly, I really have to play some poker a bit later

As long as they have a Sky dish then on a weekday afternoon you could probably could watch the shopping channel if you asked the landlord nicely.

Life's a bitch, isn't it


As long as the weather holds there has to be a real chance of a 4-0 series whitewash here. Someone on betfair got that at 100, only £4 on it though.

wild swipe from Dhoni at the first ball he faces

totally brainless shot from Laxman to get out

Indians look mentally gone here

[TeamTrousers]

Meanwhile, Watto giving it some humpty at the top of the Aussie innings, as per usual, 26 off 22 balls, couple of huge sixes

[TeamTrousers]

Lakmal putting in a solid contender for easiest droppped catch of the year lol

Droppig Watson is never smart, and when he's 46 off 35 it's even dumber

lol india, surprised they've missed the rain

EDIT: and out

He might as well have walked as soon as it was asked for.

Dunno if anyone else saw it, but that hawkeye graphic comparing England's lengths in the morning and afternoon session is not only revealing of why we went for more runs between lunch and tea, but it also really shows how useful a tool it is for all sorts of analysis of your performance.

Most bowlers round the world barring a few (Malinga) are awful bowling to the tail. Ive no idea why you HAVE to spread the field to the batsman regardless of what form hes in if there is a tailender with him. They helped Dhoni out..

The ball from Bresnan that got Dravid would get anybody in the world out. Ive no idea why they then choose to try to bounce someone who's 6"5' on a dead pitch.

That said theres gonna be a result this match so 3-0 is on the cards. I just hope England have to make 300 in the last innings to get there so we have a contest atleast.

[SenseiSingh]

has india ever done worse than this on an international test series in the last 50 years?

I wonder what odds one would have got for betting on india not reaching 300 runs in a single innings in this series

[exec771]

Definately not in the last decade.

Before that yea, we were awful away from home before that..
