India just won't let it lie!India have written to the International Cricket Council to express their disappointment after England's James Anderson was found not guilty of a breach of conduct. Sad, sad, sad, sad losers. They need to have a bit of class here and just let it go. I thought the Indians were better than that. The fact they sent a chairman to the ICC who has been charged with corruption and continue with a captain whose name is on a judges list of players involved in spot fixing in the IPL not even mentioning the Harbajan / Andrew Symonds incident and the way they behaved over that many years ago tells you all you need to know about class in indian cricket. Supreme irony that the indian team kicked off over the lack of video evidence in the spat whilst maintaining a ban on the use and even mention of DRS.

How come they never start Tests on a Friday? A Friday start would surely mean the first 3 days having full grounds,with the opening day and Saturday and Sunday too. The 5th Test starts on Friday 15th Aug, or as it's better known Stoke/Villa Eve

Same team as the last test.
I'd have preferred Finn for Jordan.

I think 8-4 rates as one of the most outrageous scorecards ever in test cricket.

Madness to bat in these conditions. Madness. Surely Fletcher must have had an idea?

What a difference a game makes ? What a difference pitching the ball up makes! Particularly in favourable conditions on the first morning of a test. Let's be generous and say they've learned after the disaster at Lords. Great start - but once again the bowling attack is wrong. Just two front line bowlers. Of course, if we knock them over cheaply as Anderson and Broad could do, Cook and Moores will say they got the selection right. Only they aren't! But for now, keep the pressure on; don't let the tail rescue the innings.
