20 minutes into the analysis and C4 still haven’t mentioned it. While I don’t expect it to be front and centre it’s poor.

I agree the scrutiny will be and should be that England despite their own shortcomings have been on the wrong end of 3 a couple of very poor decisions. If they are expecting any more than that they will be very disappointed

That is an incredible read 😂
The Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) confirmed the development. "Taposh has left. He was there for the first match. V Ramesh Kumar will oversee the preparation for the second Test,"

secretary RS Ramaswamy told IANS.
Kumar is a businessman and had, in the past, not even prepared a first-class wicket.

Well this was interesting this morning...:lol:. If a game of cricket is that important to the likes of India and Australia to behave like this let them get on with it. I say this in PF all the time, it's just a game. Shame this game was decided at the toss, but England had that advantage in the last game.

England had the advantage of winning the toss on a good sub-continental test pitch that deteriorated reasonably as the test went on. There was plenty for everyone in it. This one is different. It’s started as a day four track and has deteriorated accordingly. England haven’t played well enough though. Too much buffet bowling and not enough resilience with the bat. We gifted them 40-50 runs too many first innings and are about 50 short of par with the bat.

Yep. Shouldn't be the case that the other stuff is allowed to detract from how poor England have been.

For some reason, my headphones stopped working on my phone so couldn't listen glad to be honest it's not competitive at all, you also have the delightful Indian fans back ;)

No difference really. I think in the series so far England have been on the wrong end of two awful decisions. The caught at the wicket one and the LBW 'leave'. I have seen the line decisions go the way of the batsman plenty. More concerned about our performance by a mile.

Yes, decisions can go either way but the ones we have talked about in this game aren't that. How could the umpire possibly think he was playing a shot there?

We aren't going to agree on this but some of these decisions are ridiculous.

The most ridiculous decisions have been from England’s selection team.

We have gone to a gun fight without enough ammunition and water pistols for back up.

At least we might win the T20 series though.

If England won the toss and got first use the match would have been totally different though ;).

I think we can agree that 2 of the decisions were terrible - one by the 3rd umpire, one by the on field umpire. We do whinge on though. I remember when the WI were over here in 2016 they had 5 lbws decisions against them in England one one day, some looked blatant and they had to use reviews every time to get the right decision. Of course they got the right decision in the end but there wan't a hint from them that it was anything other than honest mistakes by the onfield umpire (English umpires as well) . On here we were slagging the umpire off for giving Burns lbw when he was lbw. English trait.

Looked to be going down to me when I saw it but I can live with that. It's third umpire ones and the LBW where he ruled he wasn't playing a shot. No excuse for them imo.
