So what have we learnt today? Wristbands are sacred. Never rob a brother of his wristbands.

Comment on cricinfo:

Shikhar Ahuja: “Moral of the story: Never ask a bowler to remove his wristband.”

England ended a winless run of ten Tests, which began in August last year, in style on the fifth morning in Southampton, completing a performance so clinical that they did not allow India even a dominant hour in four days and one session. It was almost the perfect Test, because not only did England's out-of-form batsmen - the under-pressure captain Alastair Cook and Ian Bell - make big runs but they also plugged the one hole in their bowling attack, with part-time offspinner Moeen Ali completing a six-wicket haul to hand India a 266-run defeat.

No wonder even ECB was on Moeen's side. This dude score runs and take wickets.

Reading different comments on cricinfo and other channels, people are praising Moeen but still not recognizing him as a good or even regular bowler. My take is, since subcontintent teams play spin so well, if somebody is able to bother them he must be a very good bowler. Just hope he remains consistent.

Bhuvnesh scored more than Kohli, Dhoni, Pujara and Jadeja

Re: 3rd Test: England v India at Southampton

well in a way your congratulations to Pakistani fans is quite appropriate as there is definitely a Pakistani hand in Englands victory and I am not talking abut Moeen Ali.

Yeah..and if Kohli doesn’t find form soon.. his prospects as a future captain will become like those of Gambhir… i mean non-existent… Jadeja is eager to inherit Dhoni’s mantle
