Doesn't look good, we do have a chance though. Really need two big match winning performances from someone. Though we would probably roll over and die.
 
You've not chased anything over 260(or is it 280?) for more than a decade. . . what makes you think you've got a chance, especially considering it's probably going to be bowler friendly tomorrow?

I think we chased something like 284 once 4-5 years ago....

You are right, but I gotta hang on to something.
 
Game's over. The bowlers did well but the batting has let us down. Sachin and Dravid need to pull their socks up for the next match.
 
Sachin's needs to come up with a big match innings in tests. It's been a long time coming and would go down as a black spot on his record if he can't.
 
Monty trapped Santh plumb there, fecking farce of a decision by the umpire! Batsmen offered the light, presumably Vaughans shaky slow balls are just too dangerous for the Indian batsmen... the rain can feck off too

They can play til 7, a bit of justice should prevail hopefully
 
No, laughing because we know we would have lost it and got away with it.

Anyway just read that only twice India have avoided to lose the first test in England, and went on to win both series in 71 and 86. So here's hoping...
