May sound a daft idea but something different needs to happen to make groundsman prepare better pitches.

The ECB need to organise it so that it the game ends on day 4 then the same test teams will play 2x 20/20 games on the last day.

What do they have to loose by playing a couple of T20's instead of a last days play?

Pretty simple - you prepare the wicket we want or you don't get a test gig. The ECB should though offer to compensate them if the county has to issue refunds on day 4/day 5.

Having been fleeced by the ECB at an ODI last year, I know it's never going to happen. They forced through 15 overs in poor weather to make sure the crowd only got a 50% refund.

I think Binny will do good with this bowling, Ashwin is too predictable now...not the same Ashwin 2 years ago
If Binny gets any wickets I'll be amazed. He bowls 70mph medium paced dobbers

Superb effort by number 10 and 11. Credit where it is due. Very sensible.

Get the feeling the Giles Clarke has been given a bung by his mate Srini to get pitches like this prepared...

Great effort by Kumar and Shami, helped India recover from the bad start this morning.

You would be embarrassed if you were one of India's top order/middle order batsmen who failed after watching this display...

Imagine the chat you would get from number 11....

Anything less than 550 from England and I'd be disappointed. Having said that, my money is on the draw.

The biggest threat to test cricket isn't 20/20 it's these dead tracks!

Ali departs for 14. England 197/5, can India put pressure and force a follow on?

Umpires had a shocker there.


Too many howlers not to have ers this game. It's about time people start refusing to host India until they start using drs.
