    Overton did take a good hit on the arm when being bowled didn’t he ?

    What a shower of ****!!!

    I don't mind losing but that was COMPLETE CAPITULATION and completely unacceptable. It would be bad enough for that to happen once in a series, but twice in the same series is ******* disgraceful :mad::mad::mad:

    Leach and Buttler in the squad - will they play replacing Bairstow and Ali?

    You have to laugh at the selectors. Shuffle the deck with the same chop and changing as always. Bring Ali back for a game or two, drop him.

    This squad rotation ******** has been an embarrassing failure.

    Leach is at least very good at not getting out. Even of it's only for one run.

    I suspect India will recall Ashwin so it won't matter what changes we make :)

    And given we are losing the series too.

    He’d thrive in front of his home support as you say although has never taken a 5iver at Old Trafford.

    Is that the only English test ground he's never taken a Michelle at?

    Excellent recovery to draw the series today.
    Wasn't sure the boys had it in them but a great fightback against the odds.

    EDIT - you beat me to it by milliseconds UEA !!!

    What an anticlimax. The whole series is now meaningless.

    Now hearing that India have not forfeited the match, although I struggle to see how it could continue.

    But if they can't won't put out a team what else can they do

    In fairness, if India didn't put a team out there's still a fair chance they'd beat us.

    By the sounds of it, this was always going to happen due to the IPL, especially as the ECB refused to bring this test forward when requested.

    I presume some of their players have got COVID?

    Feel for the fans but they will hopefully get refunded .

    Least they didn’t start it then call the test off .

    Knight GT Predictor extraordinaire 2013/14

    I think it's just one member of the coaching team but players are worried they will get it. Obviously has nothing to do with the IPL starting in just over a week. I get the concerns over Covid but this just doesn't sit well with me

    So perhaps we haven't drawn the series after all. What a mess.

    You dont have to be a **** to effect a mankad dismissal. But it helps.

    Sorry to read that Michael Holding has retired from cricket commentary but I wish him a long and happy retirement.
    A calm and inciteful commentator as well as being quite possibly my favourite fast bowler of all time.

    That's a real shame. He was a brilliant commentator. I did always have an uncomfortable feeling that his voice was creating stirrings deep within Mrs TUT...
