Can't for the life of me see why we didn't declare earlier and rip into them, not as if we were pulling up trees score wise towards the end.

Yeah, said the same in a WhatsApp earlier

We'll look pretty silly if they are 8 or 9 down at the end and they are still 150 runs light. A couple of early wickets are needed I think. A lot on the shoulders of Bess and Leach I would have thought.

Will I manage to wake up at half 4 to watch it though?

"Woke up" to the news that England have beat India by 227 runs, bowling India out in their second innings for just 192.

And why is not 'Sir' Jimmy Anderson yet ?.

Matter of time , presumably.

Yes it will be. The greatest bowler we have produced.

Terrific win that is. We have really improved as a test team.

And Sir Jimmy has never won SPOTY either. Zara Tindall has though .

Magnificent performance really wasn't it.

That over by 'Sir' Jimmy, an absolute beauty.

Always nice to see stumps go flying out of the ground.

They're a bit like Villa aren't they.

They get the fans at home all excited, and then crash!..... flatter to deceive.

Think I already mentioned this a while ago. BBC sounds app they do a pod cast called TMS 40 from 40. Basically a best of view from the boundary lunch interviews going back years . Blowers doesn’t feature that much but Johners, Aggers et al are on there . Really good. Our own Sir Graham is on there.

Will have a listen to that.

Nobody got a start. 97 - 6 when I switched on the rest then made 35. The wicket is getting bad. The problem is I think we are already out of the game.
