606: DEBATE
|
0850: If you're a little unsure where Cuttack is, it's on the right hand-side about halfway up. If that's not exact enough for you, go to Mumbai and then go directly east until you hit the other coast. You still won't be in Cuttack, but the locals will be able to point you in the right direction.
From Mick in Tunbridge Wells, TMS inbox: "Morning, Tom. I was going to go out for the day, but the news that 'Biffer' Cook will open has stayed my hand. I think I'll stay in to follow the excitement on my laptop."
0840: 20 minutes now until we see the England openers stride out. If you fondly recall the days when England had a man who could hit 12 ODI tons at the top of the order, you might want to click on this link:
0833: And now the toss - Emm Ess Dhoni calls correctly, and decides to put England in. "We were definitely going to bat anyway," says KP, in bellicose form as always. "We have to try to get around 250/260."
0825: Breaking news from Cuttack, and what news it is - England have reacted to the crisis at the top of the order by bringing in Alastair Cook. Hold onto your hats. At the other end of things, the wayward Jimmy Anderson is replaced by the wayward-but-at-slightly-greater-pace Steve Harmison.
You know that feeling when you wake up starving, go downstairs to the fridge and find nothing in there but an out-of-date yoghurt and a wilted stick of celery?
