C'mon England Lets Win ( great series )

Re: C'mon England Lets Win ( great series )

Well the pitch is getting easier and the weather forecast is hot and sunny for the next two days.

We saw England fail miserably chasing what seemed an easy target a couple of tests ago so my guess is that India will bat most of the day (assuming they don't collapse) and have a go at England in the last session by which time they should comfortably have batted themselves into a position where England cannot win.

Therefore I'd say anything around 300 and above will see them get at least a draw.

That said, India could collapse now and still win!

All three results possible makes it interesting. It's what cricket should be about.

India declare, England require 372 to win.

Pitch looks good.

Another cracking day in store tomorrow in the sun.

India bowled out, I believe.

368 to win.

Ah I beg your Pardon, I was still running round the room at our Gareth's winner and missed the end.

Did you guess the declaration and target then?

Actually I was told that India had declared and I saw target on the screen when England came out to bat.

Strange question

No, just thought that because you'd missed the end of the India innings, you'd just guessed the wrong target and declaration!

I noticed that England were 4 for none and the screen said target 368.
For some reason I added four runs onto the "target", what my head had computed "runs needed" :facepalm:

Never any good at science!

I was only taking the piss. Fobbing us off with false information!

Perhaps, but that doesn't alter the fact that my failure to comprehend simple English and arithmetic is a struggle.

Will England hold it together?

Very good start but are they due one of those collapses?

yes of course, they have some good batsmen but I can see them capitulating once a couple of wickets go down
