Nope, pitch is awful. The only bad performance was India in their first innings.

Doesn’t mean others will be though, especially when there’s little else to play for. I adore the man but Stokes ain’t half a whingebag when things dont go his way 🤣

Thought Spain were poor on Wednesday but Germany really strangled them in a way that we’re not doing. Could be a long evening.

Washington Sundar?

This pitch is a dud. Has been all season in the county championship too. 24 wickets over 4 and a half full days is absolutely wild in this era.

True, his match figures so far are 1-100odd, I’m not Bashir’s biggest fan but I don’t think he’d have done any worse in the wickets column

Unlikely, the pitch is dead and England bowlers aren’t good enough to get anything out of it apart from Stokes

30 more overs for India I reckon, shouldn’t be an issue even without Pant

The media LOVE Dawson and he is quality but ultimately he’s only taken 1 wicket, though economical.

Is it all visceral trauma from Bianchi’s death which means they can’t race in drizzle?

What even is this sport anymore

Not denying he’s in pain but I do feel he’s been milking it a lot in this series for a bit of hero complex clout. Cynical I am

Leeds will have the best chance. Sunderland are doing good business on paper but people forget just how poor they were at the end of last season. One may be able to do it but it’ll still need a crisis at a team already in the league.

Looking at that video, there’s no way Marinakis hasn’t threatened him with Greek mafia types if he left, he had a history after all.

6 counties have come out against it, I think there’s still 3 to officially declare but if one more disagrees then it’ll stay as it is as it needs 2/3rd’s for a majority

India are so mentally weak once you get on top of them. Always been the way.

Shame, Goldfinger had him on the ropes there. That 160 and 127 was insane.

Up the Goldfinger

Lancashire are only 4 points behind them to be fair. Although they play Glamorgan next week so one way or another we’ll be ok.

Yeah even if Derby get max points, it means if we got 46 they couldn’t catch us. Assuming they won’t get maximum points, one win from the last four will suffice.

Our player of the season by a mile. Not just the wickets but the way he builds the pressure plus decent with the bat.

Get Holland on ffs. Get it done.

My goodness, that Robbie Joseph game against Glamorgan. What a time to be alive. Don’t think he took another wicket for us.

Alarmingly Kimber has been more dangerous than Trevaskis.
