England v India - Third Test, 10/07

[Voice of fair play]

Good ball, we could maybe give credit to a bowler who balls a very good ball

 

[Raymondo]

Shastri must’ve had too much champagne at Tea, the number one batsman in the world is at the non-strikers end, Ravi.

Decent ball. Seemed a half hearted defence though

This. Neither forward nor back, not committed, Bairstow levels of openness in the defensive prod.

 

[Ongo Baglogian]

we need a captains knock here.

Brook went to number 1 after the last test.

Hes right

 

[Black Cat Bob]

Just in from work. Telly on and the first thing I see are the bails flying off

 

[PitYacker]

Maybe we have to open it up a bit? Put the bowlers under pressure.

 

[Raymondo]

Hes right

He’s not.

Brook went to number 1 after the last test.

He’s back down to 2 after that dismissal.

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

Bang in trouble Pope with a complete lack of concentration.

 

[Dexter]

He’s not.


He’s back down to 2 after that dismissal.

Probably aye

I would agree if you are defending the off stump and get a nick and caught behind.
He was defending the 4th stump

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

Brook FFS.

I didn't think this was a 175-4 pitch.

Time for Stokes to play a proper knock now. Can't leave it to Smith and the lower order again.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

India have been the much better side over the three games, it's the series result that will matter though

England have lost 9 of the 10 days in this series. Yet they’re still even .

 

[Mr.Thunders]

Balls

 

[Raymondo]

Stokes isn’t going to be there very long.

 

[dangermows]

I don't think it's a permission thing any more, it's allowable in the Laws of the game

Was taking the liquid...

Maybe we have to open it up a bit? Put the bowlers under pressure.

Dawned if they do, dawned if they don't.

Looks trickier to bat on than some are suggesting tbh. Looks a bit slow and staying slightly lower.

Edit. On reflection even though the first wkt was rash, it looks like he gets ahead of the ball and nicks it on the underside, suggesting it's been slow from the off.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

I can top that!, left work and the first ball I heard was pope knicking-off and got within 5 minutes off home the obligatory wicket fell

 

[dangermows]

Jagger lad!

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

Some proper old fashioned cricket being played today.

I don't know if it was by design or forced upon them by the match situation. Either way I'm glad they've ground it out. Even Pope. He did the hard work and had a brain fade.

Need these 2 to stick in.
