India

May not be the best Test team around but they do it when t matters

Australia are without Michael Clarke and got bowled out for 65 in their last warm up game. They're absolutely awful atm. England have Swann and Anderson back in the team. Can't see anything other than an England win. Would take Shane Watson going mental to even make this close.

Farcical. Morgan should feel ashamed for initiating the capitulation. Feel sorry for Bell, India SAF'd the 3rd umpire for his dismissal. Shame the weather ruined the prospect of a proper game and left us with kiddie cricket.

Also, Ashwin shouldn't be allowed to get away with his run up stutter, pure gamesmanship.

India deserved to win I don't think England can whinge.

[Joker]

Maybe, but I think there's a worrying future issue to contend with in that India are becoming such a dominant financial powerhouse in world cricket and the game needs/wants them to be successful for commercial reasons. Probably just a bad call in this instance.

Broad got away with a dodgy no ball against NZ, but that was similar in that it was a close one that could have gone either way.

And in this game there was a similar incident with Broad being stumped but being given not out. If the 3rd umpire was pro India he should have given him out as well, at least he would have been consistent.

England

Bunch of chokers.

Watched the highlights this morning cos yolo and the final ball is hilarious. Broad tries to run 6 and Tredwell walks off the field.
