Because you’re a doubting Thomas. Chill.

Or set the alarm for 4am tomorrow!

Nah they'll be fine

What a day of Test cricket though eh. Every so often it just pulls you to one side and smacks you over the head with its brilliance

Wow, what a win

One of the great wins for England. Remarkable

Get the fuck in!!!!

India have never lost a test match after a first innings lead of over 100 - well they have now!

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #22614 on:** January 28, 2024, 12:03:22 pm »

Incredible!

Didn’t we win the first Test there on the last tour too? Still, that’s way beyond expectations and gives India something to think about.

koptommy93 · « **Reply #22615 on:** January 28, 2024, 12:03:25 pm »

190 run deficit on first innings and you manage to win, unbelievable

Good game though.

As we all thought before the year started, the ICC Men’s Test Player Of The Year 2024 is going to be a battle between Shamar Joseph and Tom Hartley.

Yeah I think so. India have no wins in 3 home tests now

Apologies to Tom Hartley for my sniffy and dismissive post on Day One. I feel ashamed.

Is that humble Yorkshire pie that I'm hearing being munched? I bet it tastes nice though?

Yorkykopite · « **Reply #22625 on:** January 28, 2024, 12:11:02 pm »

God, this sets up the series doesn't it?

Can Hartley sustain this do we think?

Never had it before. Very odd taste in truth.

Tommy Torres · « **Reply #22627 on:** January 28, 2024, 12:11:46 pm »

That is a brilliant win and a great comeback from Hartley.

J_Kopite · « **Reply #22628 on:** January 28, 2024, 12:13:02 pm »

Nothing jammy about that from Hartley, got England out of a very sticky situation there.

Hebert Sutcliffe once took a whippet to Australia. Never heard of a player taking his hare on tour.

Without doubt sir.

Cant believe India lost from that position at home against that side we had out.

Not sure Bashir comes in for Leach though probably Robinson/Anderson.

Nico de Boinville hasn’t ridden since last year and it’s apparently an injury. Begs the question - have he and Tom Hartley ever been seen in the same location?

Outside of anything liverpool related, it's the best format of any sport, I can understand why non-fans of cricket hate it, but as a purist, its absolutely marvellous
