Deadrubber and not really watching but just thought it was quite funny that Sunny Gavaskar says:

BBC Test Match Special's Sunil Gavaskar
"England are just about opening up now. Both the batsmen were watchful early on, which was understandable, but now they've got a move on. India could be chasing leather for a while."

...2 balls later both batsmen are out. Gavaskar :haha:

And I get mentioned on TMS on BBC Sport:

From Ash in Cambridgeshire, TMS inbox: "Would Mr. Gavaskar like to predict the lotto numbers - just so I know what not to pick..."

Played to the crowd a bit there. :geek:

Also seems India are FINALLY playing Varun Aaron. Some kid who's already the fastest bowler in Indian history - consistently clocks 90mph+.

There's no substitute for proper pace.

India win by 6 wickets and with 9.5 overs to spare. The most stylish batsman in cricket top scored with 86*. Raina hit 80. And no-one else in the match got to 50 (though Bresnan got close).

Varun Aaron took 3-24...knocked the stumps off with all three. Full and straight.

After India Reserves had a disastrous tour to England, the English media were perhaps cocky to predict anything other than India bending the South Africans over and then fucking them with their tiny penises as sweet revenge. An young Indian side missing the greatest player in history, Sachin Tendulkar, along with star names such as Yuvraj Singh, Virender Shitwag and Zaheer Khan made light work of a frustrated England&SA side with 4 arse-rapings in the 5 match series, and one well-timed chase.

Led by Don Didier, many young players showed why this Indian team could remain champions for years to come. The Indian captain was not out in the entire series scoring 212 runs; including a brilliant 87* to win the only close encounter of the tour. 23 year old opener Rahane showed Shitwag fans would a technically sound opener looks like, recorded consistent scores. Raina was explosive and entertaining maintaining an average of 44. But young batsman stood out. Touted as the next Sachin Tendulkar, with flawless tekkers, an aggressive mentality and impeccable batting style, Virat Kohli was the only man in the series to hit a ton and consistently performed capping off an average of 90.

It’s hard to tell what the South African supporting Englishmen in the media will make of this. “We decided to turn up and battered their talentless arses. Ollie should be fucking embarrassed.”, said all-rounder Jadeja. England&SA have more reason to worry as perhaps some of their South African players may look to go back to playing for the country they are supposed to play for. “I thought I’d play for England because they were a team on the up. After getting humiliated like this, I’m not sure I want to be a part of the same team a fat fuck like Freddie Flintoff used to play for...do you know how strict the ICC are on allowing transfers from England to Bangladesh?”, said Jonathan Trott.

Next for the champions will be a boxing day test in Australia. All eyes yet again will be on God as the wait for his 100^th international century continues.

"Not really sure what to say about that. One minute I was skipping through a metaphorical meadow on a sunny day, skimming the tops of the tall grass with my hands, the next I was being viciously attacked by a disgruntled farmer with a pitchfork. One thing's for certain - for all the hype, England ain't great yet. You can't use the excuse that we just don't fancy one-day cricket, for better or worse, it's kind of a key part of the sport."

I lol at the term 'England&SA'.

England. :rose:
