2-3 Wickets tonight would be magical.

just fucking wow... think my best reaction was the 442 matchday, but just wow, incredible session to pick up five wickets

You did some nice commentary of your own in the live matchday thing. :lol:

The reason I mention it, other than to boost my own sense of self-worth, is that I went on to discuss the Headingley Test of the 2009 Ashes. England were 1-0 up then as well, and knew they were only a win away from a series victory. They were even worse in that match than they have been in this one, conceding 445 after being bowled out for 102. By the end of the second day they were, uncannily, 82-5 (as opposed to their current 81-5) and still trailed by 261. The game was up. But the next morning Andy Flower called a team meeting. "This match is lost," he told the players. "But the preparation for the next Test starts now." Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann put on 108 runs in 12.3 overs. They tucked into Stuart Clark, who had tormented England in the first innings, with particular relish and they ended up with a score of 263, losing by an innings and 80 runs. But the tone for the next Test was set. They had showed that they would not wilt just because they had endured two bad days in a row. And of course you don't need me to tell you what happened at the Oval ten days later.

I don't think anything like that will happen today though. With no Stuart Broad their tail just looks even worse.

The little master Sachin Tendulkar just 3 runs away from his 50th test century.

and he got it, =d> =d> =d> legend.

His conversion rate is just ridiculous. 50 100's and 59 50's. That is just not fair.
