As amazing a test victory you'll ever see.

Teams don't win in India. Those that do don't win from the position we were in

apparently, largest ever first innings deficit overcome by any team to win a test match ..

Friend at game just said that they are stunned .... If anyone wants a 'box", with catering, in Hyderabad tomorrow. It is available ..... 😀

An amazing win. Historical.
Let me have my regular mini rant and say it should've been on free to air TV so that the country can watch it's representative team.

If it was on BBC1 it wouldn’t have been viewed by many more people I don’t suspect.

Let’s not pretend half the country can’t watch all these channels for “free” anyway. I appreciate some of the oldies are left out, but at least there’s the radio.

.... as an oldie, I did have TV links but 2 crashed (one via my VPN)...... so I gave up, and reverted to UK Talksport ....

I've got to disagree, there are still a lot of people out there without pay to view TV or access to the internet. This will impact on the number who can watch.

Listened on Talksport. I know that I am an old git, but awful compared to TMS. All shouty .. and no stories of the Hyderbadi Biryani circa 1983 ....

Talksport is unlistenable. The demise of TMS is very sad. I could listen to a TMS rain commentary rather than Talksport. As I couldn't get to a telly for a bit I "listened" to the BBC text commentary in the website, which was still better than Talksport.

Managed to watch the fall of the last three wickets, fantastic effort particular credit to young Hartley after the clobbering he took in the first innings.

During the summer when I don't have access to a TV, I listen to TMS for all the cricket and even my wife will join me and she doesn't like cricket.
 
I didn't watch a lot of the game but I did feel that in the absence of Kohli, the Indians were more sporting than usual, less gamesmanship maybe? Fair?
 
Watched all morning but had to go out just before extra half hour taken.
So listened to Talksport in car.
Quite enjoyed Goughie and Harmies passion for England.
Not TMS but still very enjoyable
