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

[Mr Redknapp]

Opened an end up for Jasprit there, it's these decisions that can win or lose a game.

 

[JackL]

Just smashed a 6, then swiped at one that just avoided an edge. Common sense would suggest you might not play a big shot next ball...

 

[Black Cat Bob]

For fucks sake

 

[Ghfd]

That was a shot to far

Yes I’m watching a bridge to far this afternoon on bbc2

 

[Safc98]

Looking forward to Australia. Massive grounds just bowl short and we’ll fall in the trap.

 

[Doctor_Sunlun]

I support the aggressive approach but hitting a six in the over, just see the over through instead of trying to take 18 off it. Now Bumrah has the beginning of the tail to bowl at with a new ball

 

[Hyltons finest]

Some poor wickets starting with Root last night, but that takes the biscuit. 3 balls before the new ball and now we’ve got the bowlers in for it

 

[Black Cat Bob]

Why can't they just pay sensible. You don't have to go for it every ball.
That was from outside off stump

 

[Ghfd]

That was great fielding though. Taken for granted but that never was seen in ye olde days

 

[JackL]

Some poor wickets starting with Root last night, but that takes the biscuit. 3 balls before the new ball and now we’ve got the bowlers in for it

We've seen it time and time again, so bored of them giving away wickets especially given the context of where the game is right now

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

There is a balance between attacking and playing properly, he’s got that very wrong

 

[Doctor_Sunlun]

They’ve given themselves a real issue with the short ball by refusing to just see it out. Hit one for six sure but after that you’ve done the damage

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

No body out on the offside could of flayed it to that side they just can’t put their ego aside at any point with bat in hand.

We just always open the door for the opposition.

 

[Black Cat Bob]

Was looking to be less han 50 behind or even parity at least.
Now will be delighted to be less than 75 behind

 

[Ghfd]

Think Bumrah will bowl 7 in this spell

So around an hour of real pressure now

Get through this unscathed and we may get up to their score first innings

 

[Parkside]

We've seen it time and time again, so bored of them giving away wickets especially given the context of where the game is right now.

I was just thinking at lunch what a sensible disciplined session that had been,they're finally learning how to play the situation then they revert to brainless bazball mode.

 

[SAFC11]

A lot of starts. Hopefully Brook can big like pope

 

[Ghfd]

Anyone seen Tongue bat?

Carse can a bit but old shoaib has the Monty panesar technique to batting

 

[Black Cat Bob]

Going to be a nervy first 10 overs with the new ball now
What the fuck was he doing there. Just leave it

 

[Hulkenburger]

Anyone seen Tongue bat?

Carse can a bit but old shoaib has the Monty panesar technique to batting

Tongue got a century at Lords last year didn't he?
