Oh Mo! Its a freak show really here. 5 down and still trailing. Best part is that they got to stay on for 23 overs, that is the worst part too.

Freak show this. Why did he ever tried to play a shot there instead of just blocking? Trying to be a hero, Rash? The equation is clear, got to defend 14 more overs and get done with it.

Humiliating. To be the 3rd and 4th examples of teams making 400+ and losing by an innings in consecutive tests is utterly shameful. Utter utter embarrassment. Everyone needs to take a long hard look at themselves for this, batsman, keeper, all rounders, bowlers. Shocking.

There is still hope, Pierre. Hope is just 13 overs away. The deed isn't done yet.

Excellent point just made on TMS now, Kohli, Pujara and Ashwin have hardly contributed......and we're still getting paggered!

Well if they still make it across the line, wouldn't it be deserved? I don't think so. That said, it is nail biting stuff here.

God save the Queen and the English Cricket team. They have at least put us from misery so that we can at least focus on enjoying the holidays.
And belle, you were right. Our prediction turned out to be rubbish, just like the cricket team.

7/48 on a road. Thats sir for you. Back to back innings victory to finish the series after losing both tosses and conceding 400. That's something else.
If Ash doesn't get you sir will. Beautiful.

Kudos to India, more than anything else they have demonstrated strength in depth, had to rotate a couple of players due to injury from test to test and still battered us into submission. Horrifying from England.

RECORD BREAKERS!
That was every bit as bad as I expected. After a relatively promising start. Oh dear.

On the plus side, I totally called 4-0!

I said Rashid would be England's leading wicket taker at an average over 40 - 23 at 37.43 with no five fors and an economy of 3.7. I was pretty close... I thought I couldn't get much more angry and then I read this: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/38376187Just fuck off. If I can manage more erudite, which I barely can: fuck the fuck off, don't attempt to deflect away criticism of selection and performance of those whose faces fit by leaking something about someone you didn't pick, especially a young, incredibly promising lad. I find it hard to believe there's anything wrong with his action (have any left arm spinners ever failed a test? He's got a very standard action) but even if he has, leaking it is just going to destroy his career and that's unforgivable, crass and just bloody shit.

I can't believe my eyes and this is just pathetic. That could in all likelihood permanently damage his career.
When you lose badly the least you could do is take it in the stride. If not then blame the senior players or batsmen who wer shit not a youngster who had the season of his career
