This one is at Old Trafford.
The days of the 'sticky wicket' at Old Trafford have gone with the advent of covered wickets.
But instead there are always lots of men in fancy dress costumes, it's hard to think of anything funnier than this.
The series may be perfectly poised at 1-1, England could be 2-0 down and playing for pride or it may still be 1-0 to India with England needing to up their game.
I can't wait.

Love cricket gods, but isn't this post a teeny bit random? I am trying to get in ahead of okie, he has positioned himself as some kind of cricket aficionado through starting all the Test Match threads even though, how do I put this politely, I suspect there may be some small gaps in his knowledge
