Eng vs India - First Test - 20th-24th June


Same as yesterday Gaffney. Not good at all his judgement twice
Both made a few ricks this match haven't they? Thank god for DRS.
Terrible from Smith, thought that could’ve been clipping umpires call. Difficult to tell when he’s so far down
My first thought too.
Lucky bassa Brook. Looked dodgy to Jadeja these last couple of overs.

Hopefully good news for Bashir at least.
Aye, let's hope so. I know Bashir didn't take a bag full of wickets 1st innings but I was impressed with his control. Noticeably much less 'hit me' balls than before.

Hopefully the wicket offers him some more assistance 2nd innings and he can run though the Indians like a bad curry.
Do Sky employ Mel Jones to put the final nail into test cricket?
??

She's canny imo. Knowledgeable, amiable and doesn't go on like a raging errm fanny like some male commentators. Most importantly for me, she has a nice relaxing voice.

It feels like the new ball after lunch will go a long way to deciding this test. If these two manage to get through it there's no reason why we can't get close to their total.
Aye, I think so. Hopefully Brook's still there and can play Bumrah like he did first thing this morning. Absolutely brilliant to watch. On the front foot and down the track. Attack attack attack!!
 
Quality session that. Good bowling and decent batting

Bad session for Gaffney. To get one wrong is fair enough but to repeat the error again , is not good enough for a match of this standard
I’m not sure if it isn’t just time for cricket to accept that the humans are too much worse than the technology to be worth having in the loop at all. Like tennis has the top level with line judges. Just pass it over to the machines. Or at least, the bloke in the booth.
