What does that say about England
aboods: choppsuey:I’d point you to our record away from home…
Only the really great teams generally have good records away from home. eg. Windies in their hey day. Australia in the 90’s and 00’s.
India is a good solid team, but nowhere near great.
What does that say about England
Well their record away from home is mostly ■■■■ and has been for decades. Apart from beating South Africa inn South Africa recently they’ve continued to be woeful over the last 4 or 5 years
They flogged SL away
minnows
They flogged SL away
One series doesn’t suddenly make their record good. Let’s see if they can back it up. Plus Sri Lanka are very weak at the moment
Out of interest, what’s the most Tests India have won in a row?
Lol, one ball.
One ■■■■ ball and that’s it.
Dear god let us not be spastics with the bat…
Is there a reason they didn’t play extra time last night given the Indians were 9 out? Don’t they normally allow an extra 30 minutes if it’s likley the final wicket will fall? Or is that for lunch and tea only? Would have saved bowlers and batsmen warming up in the morning for a one-ball innings before changing over.

Fair way down the list, whatever it is it’s less than 7. They went about 17 tests in a row without a loss during 2016-17, winning 13 of them.

Because they’d already played the extra 30min to get the overs in.
Lol.
Three balls.
Bugger
I would say LOL, but that’s ■■■■.
■■■■■■■ putrid
Temp has just dropped a few degrees and overcast currently. Might even get a shower over the weekend
What the hell was he thinking.
After watching India all yesterday.
‘I fink I’ll go for a full-blooded drive on der fird ball!’
All set up for the frustrating 10th wicket rearguard tomorrow. Used to happen to us in the good old days
Or not.
Still struggling to understand how finch is in this team.
Fark me!
