The bowel-churning thrill of the runs Ravindra Jadeja chose not to score and the wickets England failed to take www.kingcricket.co.uk/the-bowel-ch...

Watching Siraj get increasingly crazy angry was a lot. By the end of the 5th test they’ll have to tazer him & strap him to a stretcher to get him off the pitch.

Love your write up. It was excruciating but hugely compelling. It was not a productive working day.

Hold us here, Test cricket. Hold us here in uncertainty; at the sour spot of maybe or maybe not. Leave us here a while to grow overfamiliar with the sight of Ravindra Jadeja turning down another single because it’s still quite early in the over.

An exceptional account of just how awful / compelling that last day, and days like it, felt.

Asked myself "am I enjoying this?" several times and couldn't really answer yes. Compelling is the right word.

Nothing fun about it until the end, but I will be really upset if I don’t get to go through this again. But I will take a decisive Fourth Test as my next go around.
