Cricket

[ste d' indica]

5 days of absolutely top class cricket, had it all, massive credit to both sides.

Not many test matches go to the fifth day unless time gets lost to the weather.

Fair enough, just wondered if they opened the doors or not

They've just picked India apart with apparent ease.

Fantastic run chase against a top team.

 

[Wizard]

That was a great test match. Surprisingly relaxed end to that chase. Was really worried when Stokes went that we would just collapse.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Incredible win from England, they don't win this game with any other coach/captain convo.

A real piping down of the naysayers

Wonder if Vaughan will do an apology piece after slagging them off for choosing to field.

 

[Walken]

Thought DK was great in the ashes, but he has been superb here also as a pundit

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Those chases become possible due to mindset. England are lucky to have McCullum and Stokes.

 

[jaspercabbage]

And Lancs are 600-6. Who knew that getting rid of Losey McLoseface as head coach would bring an improvement?

 

[Charro]

So much belief in this team to win games of cricket no matter the situation.

If ever given the opportunity they’ll chase down close to 450.

Great test match. India be kicking themselves - left so many runs out there in both innings and were dreadful in the field.

England bat really deep these days. Think that was ultimately the difference. Still to chase down what they did was very impressive.

A very good cricket team plays a bit of a crap one.

Very good one wins

This shows why test match cricket is such a wonderful sport.

India are not a bit crap.

Very harsh on india that.

They have one of the greatest bowlers and probably the best wicket keeper/batter of all time.

Would say both teams are of similar quality.

Both bowling attacks probably aren’t as good as they once were.
