GO ENGLAND. Never thought I'd be saying that.

India bowled at the stumps and the got Cook out.

Why couldn't our bowlers do that a few months ago.....

Billy Bowden already warning the Indians for running on the pitch.

Good to see Billy Bowden stand up to the bullyboys of cricket after what happened to Daryl Harper when he did the same in the West Indies.

England 62/2

P. Kumar 5/106 (bowled 40 overs, and Zaheer pulled up lame after 13 overs)

India 0/17

If that ball starts to swing India will be ******!

Just looking at there side. The bowling attack of Khan, Kumar, Sharma, Singh and Raina, not bad but with no Khan, then really Sharma will need to step up big time or they might get killed.

There batting:
Mukund, Gambier, Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman, Raina and Dohni. Now is Tendulkar still up to batting at 3 and Dravid is surely getting close to being past it. Both great players but in tough english conditions they could come unstuck. Just my opinion. I really hope they get smashed.

Also another question with Tendulkar 38, Dravid 38 and Laxman 36, any thought to getting a player blooded before all 3 retire?

Kohli, Raina, and Rohit Sharma are three I think of that would slot straight in...

KP 202 not out, he's one of those cricketers who keep the game interesting.

India 164/3

We've dropped a few that should have been held.

India 183/5
