Well today's a big day for England and India. Whatever the result it's going to be big for either team. England have been set an impossible target of 499 to win on the 5th day, and are some 51 without loss. If they did that it would be the highest total to win in the 4th innings by a mile and a half. If they don't and India win or draw it will only be the 5th time they've won a series in England.
There's been some excellent cricket too, regardless of jellybeans, between the two sides vying for 2nd place in the world Test rankings. It's been great to follow - shame it's only a three test series and not 4.

Fair call - probably an unjustifiably maligned test cricketer at times who played to the best of his ability within his limitations - a good team player who on...

I think Dravid's simple imperative was not to lose that test. Yes he might have declared earlier in their 2nd innings and then given himself more time to bowl...
This is a very good result for India and congratulations to them, but given the way the 1st test went it would have been unfair for England to have lost 2-0....
Warney didn`t exactly enjoy his mate Kumble getting a test ton finally :-) That leaves warne regretting his 99 even more than he did before ;-) Umpiring was of...
