@MN5 I was going to point at Bryan vs Pakistan as a contender for your most maligned guy to come good (vs Santner).

Not that he was particularly maligned - but, that was a performance miles beyond expectation.

Skippy's two double hundreds were as well - but, only in retrospect.

Yeah Young probably played in the wrong era, things had moved a bit quicker than in the 80s. Mind you he would have looked like Virender Sehwag compared to Trevor Franklin !

He was a good test match opener though, that 267 was extraordinary !

Sinclair was disappointing, amazing start and a first class record to suggest he should have been better at test level than he was.

Woohoo. 71-6

[No Quarter]

We really need Pant before he just wins it for them, but 4 to get at the other end! Amazing stuff

Win or lose, the torment on the faces of the crowd is delicious

[Chris B.]

71/6 - we get Jadeja.

Washington and Ashwin still big dangers.

We need someone else around the bat to Pant - even with the spinners - but, I think we need to bowl O'Rourke or Henry at him just to change things!

[Squirrel]

That's a stunning catch

[No Quarter]

Young's 51 in the second innings is looking pretty golden right now given the failure of India's top order. That catch wasn't half bad either.

[MN5]

Game on !!!!!!

Fucken come on boys, you can do this !!!

[Chris B.]

Young's having a great match!

[Squirrel]

Good job, cannot take the reviews with you

Start believing, fluffybunnies

[No Quarter]

Shit that was close. surprised there wasn't a spike

[Chris B.]

The good thing at 6 down is that the jeopardy gets even bigger for Pant - and Washington and Ashwin.

None of them can afford to make a mistake.

[No Quarter]

We can't take Ajaz off as he has 4 - 28, but Pant has taken a liken to him, and we don't have many runs to play with. Agree with @Chris-B if Pant is on strike we should try O'Rourke with some short stuff that he doesn't like.

Yeah, just an extra 50 runs would be worth so much right now

66 for them to get, give O’Rourke a bowl !!!

Hope so. Never underestimate our ability to fuck it up when least expected

Lots of blame firmly on IPL ruining techniques apparently

Nothing to do with artificial inflation of their home record via preparing shit pitches
