Oh Stuart.

Rarely come on the forum anymore as it got a little petty over the last couple of years at times. I was in it mainly for the kit and talk of bats and the viewing of the shaq harris kitchen fire was a bonus

However, and I would be very surprised if this hasnt already been mentioned or at least thought, I am convinced this Felix character is old Gerry SA isnt it?? Some might not remember him but a few will

This outburst of aggression reminded me of his old demeanor when he was upset with life

Only just read this but do agree that's there's been an  increase in the pettiness and  needless  aggression  when the personal insults come out its  usually an indication that the poster as nowhere else to go with there points of view.

Oh what do you know you big smelly poo-poo face?

Good first over from dawson

[csnew]

So 477 will play 600+...much rather the ball turn square on day 1. Makes for much better viewing

Good partnership from rash and Dawson, Dawson can clearly bat. Our lower and middle order is crowded already

We need to find out if he really bowl at this level thou 

Anyone else notice Dawson was back using kookaburra inter the test, in the few pictures of him from the BPL he was using Icon

Maybe they dont have international status

477 I think is about right on that track  batting first yes India could get 600 plus the openers look as if they are in but if they do score 600 plus how much time will be left for the to bowl out England a second time  on a dead pitch ? Can't see kohil declaring with less  and giving England a sniff but  at 3-0 up why should he also  might not   fancy batting last

Thought the tactics with the new ball where slightly odd. 3 men on the fence gifting easy singles to KL Rahul who's form has been pretty awful so far and to the makeshift opener Patel. Thought Cook should've been more aggressive as it seems harder to score of the seam bowlers.

Without a doubt 477 on the board bowling the last overs of the day why didn't cook attack the batsman ?

Exactly. The Indian commentators go on about Rahul like he's Kohli Mark 2, yet his temperament has been found wanting so far in this series. A packed off side field and an off stump channel would've seen if he has the temperament

He is talented and deserves it. Has got 3 hundreds (could be4) and one 50 so far in 11 tests. Not many have got a start like him.
If Hameed can get that kind of attention then Rahul definitely deserves it.

Cook is so defensive. You have 477 on board, spinners are bowling and only 1 guy in catching position. Attack dude.... you got nothing to lose.

Sadly, no "crazy aggressive" captain left in the world. McCallum was the last. Miss the days of captains really hunting for wickers instead of trying to block runs.
