England v India (2nd test) Lords

[Dexter]

Curran already looking a poor selection.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Not a lot of intensity from England so far

 

[brandon]

You just know we’d be 3 down by now. Curran is shite. Utter shite.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Must be the only one who thinks Curran has bowled fine

 

[Salem Street South]

Up to 1.10 now. Dirty sloggers.

2.56 and rising. I blame the h*ndr*d.

That and the fact Scurran is throwing down pies.

Up until now he had bowled okay I would say. This over however...

Next 2 balls horrendous after i said this

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Looks like Mo will get an early bowl

 

[Dexter]

16 off the over. Yikes.

Yes, I’d politely suggest an eye test.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

That over allows India just to plod along at 2 an over until lunch. If they’re 60-0 the decision at the toss starts to look very iffy indeed.

Felt like bowling first was a choice of a team with no confidence in their batting. Pitch doesn’t seem to have any demons.

 

[SAFC11]

I just have never thought Curran looks like a test player.

 

[McGregor]

He’ll be itching to get out there and notch a 100-ball 20.

Does his job though.

 

[Dexter]

Can’t believe Curran is getting another over.

Absolutely. There was clearly concern about the cloud cover and our batting not being able to negotiate it. It’s very frustrating watching England in red ball cricket.

Excellent batting by India here.

 

[scotch]

Outside of his series against India in 2018, he's never really done it with the ball for me

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Excellent batting by India here.

And some very moderate bowling to help them along. Plenty leaves outside off stump and now plenty freebies from Curran bowling straight. The lines and lengths haven’t been troubling for India at all.

Both captains said they would have bowled tbf
