England v India (2nd test) Lords

[The Rat]

Guess I look at the game differently guys.

The modern way seems to make sure you don’t lose rather than try to put yourselves in a position to win.

They may have played it perfectly to stop them losing, but ambition to actually win the game I am not seeing

no it’s not

did you not watch this mornings session?!!?!

That perfect the odds of India winning are drifting and drifting yea?

I couldn’t give a shit

you have no cricket awareness

they were 2 wickets from losing the test match

Pant will be fun to watch

big chance for India if pant comes off. This will be interesting cricket

what a test match this is

 

[Silly Point]

Oh Woody no

Watched it all mate, I think the right thing was to consolidate after lunch of course, but as the partnership developed look to push on to give them a chance of winning the game.

However imo the first priority was not to lose, which of course I can see why they did that.

Personally I like cricket teams to look at a win as their first priority not making sure they don’t lose as the first priority.

Just the way I look at cricket mate, respect your view if you look at it differently

Makes me wince given our history of fast bowlers being knacked in the field

it’s nothing to do with how you look at cricket like

so don’t twist it like that

they’re both absolutely bang out of form

they can ti the crease with India 20-3

not sure how any sane person can criticise them

f***ing hell woody

fuck

16 overs left, 136 runs ahead, new ball in 6....Think we might get a 250 chase in 70 overs tomorrow.
So more likely 70 overs for England to survive as don't think they go for the runs unless we get to 100-2 of 30

 

[The Rat]

Fast bowlers don’t need to do that

I know it’s runs but still

there’s no chance they’ll try n chase 250 like.

we need then out 180 or someit ahead

It is everything about the way I look at things, not trying to twist anything just my outlook on the game in general to try and be positive and put a win before a draw

Can only repeat at 20 for 3 of course it was right and correct to dig in, but as the partnership developed and they spent more time at the crease imo they should have looked to push on more than they did to give them more time to bowl us out.

However the tactics could be for Pant to really push it along now to give them that chance and if so fair play to them

 

[Scunny Dan]

Draw is favourite with the bookies but I’ll be honest, I think it’s the outsider at present.

You must be crackers.

[The Rat]

Are tests lost at 5 down nowadays?

when shami is at 7 yes

crickets almost the worst for armchair fans spouting things they’d never do themselves.

 

[Scunny Dan]

[Jack Torrance]

Pujara and Rahane were excellent not really sure they can be criticised
