England vs India Third test

[LeadBelly]

This is a brilliant test series.
Plenty of aggro between the teams too.
I almost want India to win the next test top take it to a 5th test decider.

The aggro is good so long as it doesn't get physical imo. Shows how competitive the players are. Wouldn't go as far as half wanting India to level it. I've got Oval tickets, would like us to be still at least one up to make it a bit less anxious..

Anyone making any changes for the next test?

Crawley, Pope and Bashir (obviously because injured). Reality is that won’t happen.

Yes, it would be very tense, but a brilliant finale.
A series like this can only be good for test cricket, maybe increase interest.
And I agree about the aggro, it's being taken a bit too far, IMO.

Dawson would be a fantastic option at number 8 in the line up.

Would give us some serious lower order batting strength

He isn’t a better bat than woakes althouhbhe is the perfect guy to replace him in the order if he is rested like is expected. I hope Atkinson comes in for the next 1 if archer plays again we will be close to our best bowling lineup

Dawson in the squad for the next.

How strict are they at old Trafford for the party stand? Only tickets left and I fancy taking my teenage lad over to watch it. Any help on the matter is appreciated.

How old is he? 16 years old is the age restriction but having been a few times I don’t recall anyone ever asking, and a 16 year old wouldn’t have ID anyway. I’d say he would have to be able to pass for 16 maybe?

Dawson in the squad for the next.

If bethell and Dawson make the team our batting line up would be looking incredibly strong.

Dawson has a better first class batting average than Crawley!!

Managed to get 2 in the north stand I think it is now. Paid a bit more but looking forward to it.
