Big partnership tomorrow and it's on for India

Seeing how rohit has played in past , I don't trust him to last for too long . My prediction , India will lose the match . Most probably in third session  :)

India to lose before tea. Shame really as they havn't turned up for this test. Made England look a decent team!
This test march has confirmed my belief that Cook should not be captain. He's much more important as a batsman. Doesn't need the added pressure of captaining. He can't keep winning all the tosses and batting first...

There is only one thing I enjoy more than seeing England getting beaten, that's seeing India getting beaten.

Clubbie James Anderson's bowling average nearly below 30, if he gets under 30 will he get a knighthood?

No, you will just have to put him into the 'World Class' category as that is what you said is the cut off to be that good.

Gerry SA shoulderchip/bitterness aside - no-one really rates Jimmy in the same class as a moderate 'great' of the game do they?

He's very good in England, though can't really be taken seriously as ever in the top 5 quick bowlers in the world at any given period?

Even Gerry must accept that Anderson is world class.

He just isn't as good as Dale Stein - who is an all time great.

What is interesting is Vernon the ball tamperer... he picks up a load of wickets because he has Morne and Dale at the other end.
Vernon isn't in the same league as Anderson...

Back on topic - this pitch still has decent pace and carry, has had something in it for the bowlers all game (poor old Pankaj aside) and has been a good test pitch with turn now.
It isn't our problem that the Indian's wont pick Ashwin.

I would love to see Finn back for the next test.

Stuart Broad = world class
Steven Finn = potentially world class

Clubbie Anderson = one dimensional average bowler.

As for Vernon philander Buzzer, whilst he's has success, he close to being dropped...

So you missed the Tour of India in 2012 and the Ashes 2010/11, The UAE tour of 2011 then?
