England in India

133-4 this morning with Cooky out for 1. Not going to be so easy this one me thinks. Need KP to step up.

KP has stepped up compared to the rest so far.

Very true...apart from Capt. Cook of course. KP now out, 139-5.

Me and my big mouth. All is not lost however. Still two frontline batsman in. And let's see how we get on with the ball.

What is interesting is everyone in uproar on twitter. Seems that cook was wrongly judged out and people are moaning about the lack of DRS however he should have been out at least twice in previous games and escaped.

Still a looooooooooooooooong way to go. A good partnership between Root and Sir Matty Prior and we are back in the game.

If not, they are as good as into the tail with Bresnans (why on earth did we select him!!) current form.

Broad and Finn injured, what other options did we have? As an aside, what on earth has happened to poor old Chris Tremlett?

Moved to a new desk this week, with no telly. The horror. :'(

Assume Tremlett must still be working his way back from injury? He'd be in the team for sure if he was bowling like he did in the Ashes.

Pair of headphones, iplayer TMS or google Test Match Sofa. Job's a good'un.

199-5 at the close.

All very well, but not as good as watching it.

 

[Bluesmanager]

Course not, but make do with what you've got. I'm still ****ed that 4 gave up the live rights.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Not too bad in the end, anything over 250 and i think we've got a chance.

 

[MrB]

Tremlett is 31, with the injury issues he's had I suspect the selectors are turning their eye to younger options given that Anderson, Broad and Finn are pretty much given selections (even if Broad seems to be struggling and Finn has injury issues of his own). I'm sure he'll get his chance again though.

 

[superblue24]

I would imagine tall powerful bowlers like Tremlett, Flintoff etc run the greatest risk of early retirement due to all the effort and weight that goes into the legs and specifically the joints.....

Real shame though as Tremlett absolutely terrorized the Aussies in the last Ashes.....

 

[MrB]

I remember seeing a slo-mo of Flintoff's action and the jarring his knee took every time was huge, it's no wonder his body couldn't cope anymore.
