Missed Ponting's century. How did he play overall?

Very well.

erm, Australia beating India is like them taking our sloppy seconds...

That is a maniac comment dude; don't know whether I will agree to that though. India might be down, but sloppy seconds to England, a team which has not won even one world cup.....sorry that is too much 

Sloppy seconds??

Clarke with all his superstitions will probably keep his bat blank! Predictions as to what Clarke'll finish up on?


Also, on this track, India could quite easily turn it on and get 600-3 batting for 2 days

This India team has just shown that is not interested in test cricket, again. A fair comment I'd say.

This team is playing badly no doubt Tim and I have been one of the staunchest critic of them if you read through the pages.

But sorry, with all due respect, England cannot call India its sloppy seconds. Australia might be down but look at their record the last couple of decades---- I mean I would have at least understood Australia calling any team its sloppy second but please not England. I admire the English team but that is too much.

Don't forget that the deck will open up more, and Lyon will come into play.

Judging by India's batting efforts so far, I think 600 is a massive stretch. I think they will struggle again and will be lucky to get past 350 imo.

Innings defeat---unfortunately yes. A lot of rebuilding is on the cards.

[Joe]

Ok, maybe 600 is a bit over the top but the might last a bit longer than expected.


I think Clarke will get 312

India have had a bad day today,and a bad tour of England,i went to the games i saw it myself

but they need to show a massive amount of fight in this match to get out of this.
I don't believe they are that bad a test side-yeah they have had some bad results but that happens.
It looks a great batting wicket to me,India need to find some steel and bat for the lives when they get in...

Should India go on and lose this series (especially heavily as its beginning to look) surely they will need to reevaluate their test team? They have some fantastic older players but it seems they are in danger of doing what Australia did and not bringing through the next generation until its too late to give them any real experience of test cricket

Two years of solid rebuilding required and the fans need to be patient which is a difficult task for them..lol
