Agree to an extent but India have won their last two series in Australia while we've been fed into the meat grinder there (13 losses and 2 draws in last 15 tests!!!!!). Should have won just doesn't wash with me, I know last two home series have been draws but Aus have retained the ashes for four consecutive series now.

Docked points for slow over rate has absolutely fvcked us as well. Not overly optimistic for next round either considering it contains an away ashes series. At home to Aus or India it's always a very close series. We have glimmers of hope away but invariably ends in getting walloped

Realistically I'd have Head over Duckett but overall agree. This doesn't equate to consistently winning tests like Aus and India though, is our bowling that far behind?

Barring some heroics from Sri Lanka and/or a big old choke from Aus/India, it will be another Aus v india world test championship final.

India NZ looking like a washout on day 1. Forecast in Bangalore looks spicy the next few days as well, got to question the decision to put a test there at this time of year?

Realistically Northampton Kettering wouldn't bring in much more in terms of viewing? Most of those with genuine interest would be at the ground

Kettering locked in battle with Spurs for all-time leading FA Cup scorers, a great stat

Charged us the same amount we ripped their lot off for on opening day

First test when we played here two years ago looked like a nailed-on draw, there's still time if the pitch deteriorates

Oosh they've opened it up to anyone with a booking history, once in a blue moon stuff. Looks like it's 2k-ish gone so far, will definitely not be empty now. Interesting to see what take up is like from a cohort who the club are normally dead set on not allowing to aways.

Didn't see them at Spartak Moscow. If everyone had their attitude, going to the football would be dull as dishwater.

This is pretty much the KPFC motto: Give us your money, sit down all game and clap your clapper. If you ask the players and manager who they'd prefer to come and watch, can guarantee it's those who get behind the team vocally compared to people too 'anxious' to sing. Going home and away and not singing is mind boggling, just watch the game at home.

Bangladesh playing some ridiculous shots this morning

Sri Lanka declared on 602-5 earlier, Kamindu Mendis on 182* He now has an average of 91.27 (!!!!!!!) with over 1,000 runs to his name, mental

Randers

This is incredible, still banging on about the penalty as Villa are scoring their 7th hahaha

1 spare for tomorrow, can meet at ground

Used to play on that every week at the Baseball Ground

Boycotting it now, they've absolutely butchered what was the best TV football spectacle by a mile. Why have they replaced journalists, who were both knowledgeable and funny, with retarded ex-pros? Plus they barely even show any of the games from the 10 mins I watched before turning off. BIN

Villa most well represented Blues Cov Palace Fulham Derby Surprising number of Luton Unsurprising number of Liverpool

Moon is that you?

Very economical from Bailey

Think we could well end up beating Chelsea

Afghanistan v NZ (played on outskirts of New Delhi) becoming the 8th test in history abandoned without a ball being bowled. No surprises that the fist two instances of this were ashes tests in Manchester

Should be the latter home and away
