No England vs. India cricket thread?

Went for Burns and Gubbins as all the rest have either tried and failed, don’t actually play long-form cricket, or are needed elsewhere in the order. Or some combination of the three.

It is grim.

Tie game!

Unbelievable

Dom Bess apparently charged down trying to smash the winning runs and got stumped with the scores tied and Somerset 8 down. Idiot

That is nuts

I voted Hales because I suspect there may be panic amongst the selectors and exactly this.

538 runs in total. Average of about 13.5 runs per wicket. Eesh.

24 wickets to spin in the first 2 days. Mental

You can’t spell keaton without ton

Not me. I’ve spotted quite a few comments from that imposter.

49 and a duck for Cook, imho.

What a prick

Who wants to play “Major Team Mystery Player”? You pick a player, fire up their cricinfo profile, copy and paste their “Major Teams”, and we have to guess who it is.

An easy one for starters:

England, Deccan Chargers, Delhi Daredevils, Dolphins, Hampshire, ICC World XI, KwaZulu-Natal, Melbourne Stars, Natal, Nottinghamshire, Quetta Gladiators, Rising Pune Supergiants, Royal Challengers Bangalore, St Lucia Zouks, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Surrey.

A further clue - his wiki profile claims Big Daddy as one of his nicknames.

KP.
