I was listening at work, good fun :)

Geoff Boycott said yesterday that if India were going to draw they'd need it to rain for 5 hours today...

The only downside for England is that Woakes and Jordan didnt take any wickets and also that Anderson could end up with a suspension after his disciplinary hearing tomorrow.

Not worried about that right now though, just enjoying England's first win in a long time.

poor cricket^ :C

what made the England selectors pick Jordan? :O Plunket made a 57 runs and took 4 wickets in his last test?

'India charged Anderson with a Level 3 offence before the second Test, at Lord's, following an alleged altercation in the first. India contend that Anderson pushed Jadeja when the players were walking back for lunch on day two of the Trent Bridge Test. If found guilty, he could face a ban of up to four Tests.'

4 tests wow o.o

I think they were giving Jordan a chance, possibly thought that the pitch would suit Jordan more. Strange decision considering that Broad is the guy who looks in most need of a rest.

The next test is at Old Trafford (Manchester) which is Anderson's home ground, looks odd's on that he'll miss it, cant see him getting away without at least a 1 match suspension.

hmmm if Anderson is to miss this test you would think they bring in Plunket to have an attack that has Woakes Jordan Broad and Plunket :o they have mentioned Finn a few times but as Botham said with Finn if its bad ITS BAD so idk about him. cant think of anyone else about? OH Stokes. if thats the attack hmm dunno who to pick :O lol i would probably go with Stokes over Jordan and bring in Plunket for Anderson. abit stiff for Jordan tbh lol but Stokes takes wickets so yea

With one man's word against another, the case came down to lack of video evidence of what happened in the corridor. The staircase outside the corridor, leading to the playing field, was monitored by the ACSU cameras. The staircase connecting the corridor and the dressing room, too, was monitored by the ICC cameras. There was a webcam in the corridor, but it was not ICC's, and it wasn't working on that day.
and it wasn't working on that day.
and it wasn't working on that day.

LOL. i smell a load of bullshit
