India v England series

[wayne entwhistle no9]

to be fair they've bowled India out every chance they have had, they still been fighting. the last 2 tests were absolutely ridiculous

I wouldnt have taken much from it even if we won, just pointless games as far as I was concerned.

urgh these Indians man, after the way they've gone on

I really dont like them

The wickets in the 2nd and 3rd test matches prevented it from being a fair contest between bat an ball but also showed the difference between the two sides in Indian conditions. Rohit had the 2nd test match done on day 1. We had the chance to put pressure on India in the 3rd test when we batted first but collapsed from 70/2 to 112 all out and again the game was all over on day 1.
If this was the 2nd test England would have made more than 200 today but they are cooked not the first time and it won't be the last a touring side are gone before the end of a series.

Agree with that but salem was only using Hameed in a counter discussion rather than advocating him for selection.

Yeah fair enough, probably picked the wrong post to make my point!

I know I have mentioned this before but was making a point, that too much emphasis put on overall averages, averages batting at 6, averages batting at 7 etc etc.

When surely current form is more important?

I’m awaiting Alex Tudor to be picked as an Edgbaston specialist in the summer

Well I heard Leachy is pencilled in as opener in the Lords Test, so you never know.

 

[Boo]

Stokes said it was one of toughest pitches to bat

I'm sure he can be taken at his word. It looks as if he's also right about it being a 300 plus wicket (unlike the one for the Third Test).

 

[The Breen Machine]

Hameed has just been named Notts’ championship VC and 50 over captain.

There may be hope yet..

 

[LD19SAFC]

Any 4am alarms?

Not a chance here

 

[Silly Point]

Absolutely not. 6am for me for NZ v Aus, then put whatever is left of this on in the background while I finish the invoicing

 

[Salem Street South]

Not for me. Not interested in seeing them bat themselves out of sight

Body clock will most probably say differently when 4am rolls around however

 

[LD19SAFC]

Predictions for the score at lunch tomorrow? I’m going 97/2

Aye something like that, maybe three down. I actually think we might get them something like 150-5 but lack of bowling options and an annoying partnership involving Ashwin or someone will get them to 300-350

Well, we'll know within the hour whether we have lost the series already.
Early wickets an absolute must, haway Jimmy!

 

[Scunny Dan]

Stokes all over the shop.

 

[zebediah]

Too short, too wide and little movement
FFS Jimmy, that line and length is just too easy for them to leave.

 

[Scunny Dan]

Looking set these two

 

[zebediah]

Better line now, but surely about to run out of steam?
Looks like they are happy to see off the pace and wait for our demon spin attack.

Demon spin. I like it. I like our attitude in the field today. Here comes Leach.

 

[zebediah]

So so close
So so close

 

[Scunny Dan]

So so close
So so close

You can say that again. FFS nick behind the wicket, missed.

 

[zebediah]

Get in
Terrible review surely
