They should have declared at 400/3 and got at least 5 Indian batsmen out by now. Is Strauss a mentally retarded kid after missing his ton?

Unless they are in a hurry to finish off the match in 3 days, why should they declare?

they are going to grind our guys down until their morale is down so bad. bat the whole day tomorrow, amass a HUGE total
and then pick us off like fish in a tank on day 4. that's the plan i think. the larger the margin of victory, the more the humiliation. if i was
strauss, that's what i'd do. doing that will ensure that we turn up for the oval test totally deflated and demoralized.

England will play well into the 2nd session declaring around 600 to 625 giving them a lead of 400+ runs.

That should give them enough time to grab 3 to 4 critical wickets (imagine if Gambhir, Dravid and VVSL getting out), they pretty much have the match in the bag - rain or no rain.

Not to mention the humiliation to India.

ENG will play two sessions. morgan will start attacking right from the first ball today. then prior, broad, bresnan and swann will play cameos. is anderson the only one left who has not scored a fifty against us in this series? then he might score it today. mishra will complete his fifty (of no balls). i can see the day very clearly.

watching eoin morgan for the first time. what the heck is
this weird trigger movement he makes before each ball?
almost squats and gets up! should be able to exploit that.

i am surprised by the way eoin murugan is playing. he is an attacking batsman and he has been quiet today. perhaps targeting his 100.

you don't find that trigger movement weird?
the oddest thing i've seen after chanderpaul's
weird ass stance and last second rotation.

i have not seen him play yet although i read it in the commentary on cricinfo that he kneels before he plays. and haha, c'paul's stance makes everyone laugh. add to it some makeup he wears just below his eyes and you are laughing before you know.
