First Test - India v England

[s!ovak]

Brilliant double century.

And what a way to bring it up!

 

[TheBoroBuzzard]

This must be some sort of record for Root - Last 3 first innings scores - 228, 186 and now 205*....astonishing figures

You want to be here in NZ. Superbowl starts at midday and then when that finishes at 4:30pm the test starts. Perfect

Stop rubbing it in Abel
Next you'll be telling us about how lovely the weather is.

Root out for 218.
Booooo.

Brilliant performance though.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Buttler and Bess need to knock a few on now.

Am I being irrational to expect a full blown collapse and being all out for less than 500?

If it wasn’t England yes as it happen perfectly rational

Am at the Masters Games in Whanganui today. Glorious weather.

 

[s!ovak]

Looks like Jos Buttler is going into full Jos Buttler mode now!

 

[TeaCider]

The runs have slowed down to a crawl, but they'll surely pass 500.

 

[TeaCider]

Phew, there we go 501-6.

 

[Jostler]

England scored 477 last time and lost by a innings.....

I remember it. lets hope we put that equation out of the picture this time.

 

[s!ovak]

Phew, there we go 501-6.

I jumped the gun with the Jos Buttler comment, seems it was just a case of putting away the bad balls.

Psychologically, reaching 500 is a biggie. I feel a lot better now
