Sorry marra, meant to reply to the person you replied to😂😂

Root, Stokes, Brook, Archer, now probably Smith, Carse etc could all chin test cricket off and make a fortune. There’s far easier ways to make good money from cricket than test cricket.

No worries mate :lol: - I know what you mean but a central contract etc and guaranteed income will be a pulling point. Ultimately I think it's not that they don't care, they have a misguided belief of how it should be played and have created an environment of no accountability.

Sure. They’ve got weaknesses, but Jaiswal, Rahul, Gill, Pant, Jadeja and Bumrah are super players

Rahul averages the same as Pope, who is absolutely shite apparently (i know not from you) - so to call him class is a stretch.
Jaiswal is a kid. He looks good, but we'll see.

The others, I agree (actually im on the fence with Gill).
 
Seven bowled dismissals is the most for India in a Test innings. They have eight other instances of six bowled dismissals in an innings.

12 bowled dismissals by India in this Test, their most, surpassing 10 against the same opponent in Hyderabad last year. It's also the most bowled dismissals for a team in a Test match since 1960.

I think there’s probably an element of echo chamber-ness. When you’re trying to create a culture that everyone buys in to, it can be easy to take it too far and be so narrow minded.

Well that’s it, people want to knock England even further by making India out to be not a good side.

We getting beat because they better and have better players.

People can do as much analysis as they like but it simply boils down to that.

Only hope is Archer does something brilliant

They are good team that's lost 3 massive players though.

This being their first series without them all and a brand new captain. Gill record in this country was dosghite until this series.

We've rolled out the red carpet with them getting the great batting wickets and the best batting conditions twice. I know we won the first one with a massive chase, but we got a gift in both innings should have faced a 600 deficit in that first innings.

Anyway haway England don't bowl shite.

Thats not necessarily true and certainly not a reason why a team wins, or there would never be an upset, or even a point of having a game
