A thread to discuss cricket incase anyone else is a fan like me.

Good solid display from England Pietersen had a good knock its good to see him back on form.

Off to the 20/20 World Cup now anything could happen really I hope Enland do well.

England win the series with a good display. They bowled India out for less than 200 and it was an easy chase, despite losing the openers for very little.

The series is tied with one game to go.

Well done Bopara and Broad for finishing the job off. When Cook went in the 1st over, I had a feeling it would need a stand like that to get England over the line.

Blimey this is tense!

A good performance by England. 281 was a decent total and India were always chasing the rate. England lead the 7 game series 2-1 now and they are certainly playing better than they did in the World Cup.

Tremlett was pretty expensive and I can't see any justification for dropping Panesar. A big target for England to chase and it really was a valiant attempt but they lost wickets at key moments making it very difficult.

Awesome performance, Cook answered some questions about his place in the ODI side perfectly. Flintoff was awesome bar a few no balls and the fielding was at a high standard. I wonder if England can get past their recent ODI troubles. :)

Great performance from England all round. They probably should have scored more with the bat but Bell and Cook made great centuries.

They were also good with the ball with Anderson taking wickets and Flintoff economical.

England have an outside chance of winning it. 444 required in a day is possible but unlikely. England really need to just hang on and get the draw really as that should be the most likely outcome.
