thoughts riff? did india simply play for the draw from the start? they clearly dominated but i thought they may have played for the draw from the outset, i only followed the game over the internet though.
 
first time in some 20 years they won in england yes? tendulkar's last appearance on english soil??
 
i have missed cricket lately

But yes if you don't win then your guys are gonna take some stick for it... but you've got to bowl us out to get the best of this test. England have nothing to lose

A few corrections..

 

target is 500..england is 56/0 and if we win the series it will be our 3rd series victory in england.

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.

 

Oh and do check out the home of good music at www.radiolympus.com (shameless plug I know but hey, I'm justifiably proud :)
