Hmm I would have said that on the evidence of the last few weeks his decisions have been far more positive (not aggressive or "funky" but positive). Things like the 2nd innings at the Ageas + declaration are a sign that while he might not be the most tactically innovative captain, he is at least...

Yup, hoping to play Chaman either this morning (if he's online) or Sunday night (away in between unfortunately)

That is a fantastic graphic for the knockout stage :)

I'll look at the scorecards properly when they come in this week and see how best to do it. The slight lack of stats from the scorecards might make it a little challenging to be really accurate (ie I won't know which bowlers bowled the no-balls and wides) but I'll do my best :)

I'm good to start on the 4/8. Was away on Honeymoon and got back late last night so sorry for the delay in replying.

Is it any surprise that Dhoni didn't last long today?! They booed Jadeja as he walked out to bat (the crowd that is), and I suspect the same will happen everytime he bowls/fields as well

With regards to Jadeja v Ashwin, its worth noting that in general the person in possession of the spot is the one that has to do something to get dropped rather than the person waiting doing something to get picked. Jadeja isn't having poor tests so isn't really in the "needs to be dropped"...

First Lancs v Notts and now Essex v Hants. These games are showing how exciting the county championship can be.

Not 100% sure if you're agreeing with me or not, so just to be clear - I agree with you! My point was that an autosave at the end of each innings wouldn't change the current state as people can still "cheat" by save & exit and reloading. The auto-save will just prevent crashes from forcing us...

I wouldn't mind an auto-save at the end of each innings. I generally get to play the game once/twice a week, but for 2-4 hours at a time. I can therefore easily be sitting through a full 4day or test match and my computer as developed a nasty habit of blue screening when bored. When it happens...

Hmm need to actually dig out my user name online...I'm fairly sure it is not Lebanna as I made a mess of it when first loading up the game!

Have you got the game on PC : YES Have you got the game on any console : NO Are you still keen to play in this tournament : YES Would starting in the week commencing 21st or 28th July be suitable for you : 28th, honeymoon on the week commencing 21st Anything else : Would like a deputy...

A little harsh on Kohli. He was only out there for 8 balls - hardly time for the pressure of no free flowing runs to get to him. Of course the other problem is that he was only there for 8 balls.

Oo you've just given me an interesting challenge for my career player.

In a word, yes. He (with support from Prior) have been moving the slips up before the ball fell short resulting in the 3rd wicket. Just before that he had a silly mid on to Pujara which resulted in the 2nd wicket. It doesn't have to be 100 ao. But at least make it even. Now this has gotten...

Genuinely annoyed and frustrated by this pitch. This is the first session for crying out loud! As Michael Holding just said on sky - no bowler should be having to pitch the ball in their own third to get the ball to bounce at shoulder height.

DRS works almost all the time. The problem is not the technology most of the time but those using it. It is well known in LBWs for example, that if it is not clearly hitting or missing then it will stay with the umpire's call. When that happens there is no point grumbling about DRS being...

I think its far more likely that the BCCI will say to the ICC that noone is allowed to use DRS any where in the world, and that happening than the ICC saying the BCCI has to accept it.

Lot of talk about India - but what about England. What are people's thoughts on Stokes for Jordan?

I hate to say it but strictly speaking according to the laws of the game, that was a six. He is allowed to catch it, through it up as he falls over the rope and catch it on this side of the rope as long as his last contact with the ground is inside the rope. In this instance, if you watch the...
