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


Got to thank India too.

That period before lunch they just imploded.

This a better thing to look at. He's the best since Shaun Pollock after this many tests though.

It reminded me of Alec Stewart’s last test match v the saffers

They were motoring on the first day but ended up getting around 460 , England scored 600 and ended winning the match comfortably

Fingers crossed
 
Turned out nice now. Ton up

100 for 1. Pope 46 Ducks 48

Quality batting at the hardest time. Love it

Duckett 14th fifty. Excellent today 👏

If we'd have gone from 430/3 with two centurions at the crease to 454/7 in the space of 30 mins in easy batting conditions right before lunch. With not a single wicket being a particularly good ball.

The vitriol would have been insane. Glad it was them and not us, as we desperately needed something to get back in the game.
 
Thing is Butch he had the perfect conditions

Those in play when England bowl again we will get it wing wanging all over the shop

He only got the walking wicket despite the conditions perfect for him

Tea 107 for 1

Over rate 9. (Disgrace) Run rate over 5 very decent considering what conditions were like

Surely that over rate can’t be right
 
He bowled ok but Haway lads , he got Crawley in a manner that happens every second innngs of his

Yes if we were now 5 down but they’ve missed a huge chance to get a winning position today india

It was on screen as they walked off for tea
