England v India Test Series!!..

[Jacko]

One of the worst reviews in Test history that. Why can't we ever start these big series well?

[Ted Maul]

One brings two etc.

Batting beautifully here tbf, albeit against some shite bowling.

[Tom Joad]

England win the toss and bowl. What do I know?

Or me. Not looking a great idea currently.

[Wotty]

Monumentally stupid decision to not bat first ffs

[Ted Maul]

Suppose we need to judge it when both teams have batted etc, but this feels up there with the first evening declaration against Australia. Firmly in the 'Bazball knows best' camp (it often doesn't).

That was exactly what I said on our WhatsApp group. Of course, I might yet be proved wrong. (I say hopefully).

[Ted Maul]

For once Bashir the tightest of our bowlers, either that or the Indians don't want to face the embarrassment of getting out to him.

Indians have batted beautifully today grabbed the game by the scruff of its neck!!..
Very important England get some joy with this new ball otherwise they will be staring down the barrel of a 600+ declaration by the Indians some time after tea tomorrow!!..

A delightful watch this afternoon  ... sipping a chilled beer in 40c sunshine.
Well played India. A very good first day of the series.
