Sadly a game like that will only give wind to those who want 4 day test matches. Don't know which pitches are worse Elland Road or the Indian ones in this series, maybe they should swap? :crazy:

The 4th Test is up and running. Looks like another fast burner and unlikely to last 5 days. Nonetheless it looks like another intriguing match. Will help to kill time until Monday evening and the West Ham match :D

England on 93 after lunch and 4 wickets down.

Enjoying the knowledgeable match commentary on Channel 4 but couldn't stand the trio in the studio who continue to be Dull Doras so had to resort to put the TV on mute and wander off to do the laundry...... :D

Brilliant innings from Pant this morning, if only that lbw decision had gone against him earlier.

You don't even have to bother to check. You know that our openers wont reach double figures between them. The rest are catching the bug too. Embarrassing.

Off and running in the India V England T20 matches.

Commentary on Sky is simply dreadful. Basically comprises of stating the obvious.

Commentators at the ground in the Test series on Channel 4 light years better

England we're simply too good for India yesterday, starting with spin in the first over (never seen that before in T20 (test) before) caught them out, we we're sublime in every department but I guess that's why we are number 1 in the world. Really looking forward to the T20 WC in October which is held in India. Then the Ashes...

What a pity Sky bought the pictures of the T20 series in India underway currently but not the match commentary that goes with it. Instead they have foisted Messers. Hussain, Key and Atherton on the viewers who have no sense of fun and are enough to bore the pants off anyone.

The support acts of Broad and Karthik are equally dull. Bumble is occasionally brought in to comment but doesn't paper over the cracks. Most disappointing! :twisted: :evil: :roll: :shock: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :roll: :!: .
