O

Reminded me of Shane Warne treading on his stumps. Luck was on our side today!

Oh yes

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

So it took around 5 hours play, 57 overs to score 112 runs. Sounds like a really boring day's Test cricket

The drama and excitement was amazing ,as was the atmosphere This was proper Test cricket,the best form of cricket.

I remember the days when the West Indies were the best at Test cricket.

All out for 27, just one run more than the all time Test record

All out for 27, just one run more than the all time Test record

NZ hold the record with 26 all out.

NZ hold the record with 26 all out.

A part of the world with such a rich cricketing heritage, it's not nice to see.

I'm not sure we had any more luck than India did.

Yes, Siraj's wicket looked a tad fortunate but Jadeja was arguably lucky to escape being LBW to Woakes on review.

We won because we bowled well and Stokes offered tremendous leadership and worked his socks off. I really think we deserved it.

Some of the best test games I've seen are when a team are chasing a low 4 th innings score to win. Like Australia during Bothams ashes series , lost chasing 134 I think and then test at Edgbaston 150. Plus yesterday of course.

Can add Trent Bridge 2005 to that, we squeezed home chasing just 120 something

I completely agree.

Low scoring test matches are often the best. With the first innings scores tied this was effectively a low scoring one innings match.

It just shows that you don't need batsmen tonking it over the ropes every over for it to be a thriller.

129 and at one stage England were 116-7 before winning.

They've just released Day 5 tickets for Old Trafford due to demand and all 3 matches going the distance so far. Brother's birthday tomorrow and haven't got him a present yet...

It may sound like it but it absolutely wasn't. It was a tense, nailbiting thriller.

It was proper test cricket. The best match I can recall since Edgbaston in 2005 against the Aussies.

Was lucky enough to go 3 of the 4 days of the 2005 Edgbaston Test
