England v India 4th Test

[Mr Redknapp]

What a surprise, Kohli doesn't agree that Sharma is going in the protected zone and is making a big show of it. Prick

Don't mind Root and Cook prodding the areas, just playing some games back on him.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Haway Keaton hang in there

 

[TopCat]

What they appealing for here? LBW?

 

[The Rat]

Don’t mind Ali at 3, but don’t move mid match

 

[Silly Point]

Shite review

 

[TopCat]

Horrendous review that

 

[Beau Peep]

Minging review. It hit him in line with the bails!

 

[HarryChest]

Helluva catch. So it didn't work then.

At least they have thought about changing it.

Can’t say it didn’t work yet. Need to see what the team scores first. If Root goes onto get 100 it would have then worked

 

[Steak Pie]

Keats busting out the reverse sweep.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Shots keats.

Fair dos.

I liked it as an idea.

Haway Jennings

 

[TopCat]

Jennings needs a score here. England need Jennings to score here..... .Ha'way KJ

 

[The Rat]

Fair dos.

I liked it as an idea.

Boycott moaning saying smith should go and find a number 3 in the CC

He just scored a fuckin double hundred at 3 against his own team

 

[Steak Pie]

We shouldn't underestimate how big a deal it is that Sharma has had to be taken off, and probably won't bowl round the wicket again.

Shame - we could do with a bit of rough outside the right-hander's off stump for when Modern bowls later

Well I don't agree with Moeen at 3. He's a middle order batsman at Test level and playing there at County level doesn't change that. Yes, I know. The problem is that we don't have a good number 3 (or 2 or 1).

The mentality of the whole team seems to be getting more and more fragile under Bayliss.

Virat doesn't need to go on like that. they will get themselves out

If your top order is fragile it's going to contaminate the middle order …. and we've been trying to cure the top order problems by moving middle order batsman up the ranks.

 

[Jap Stammer]

Kohli's getting away with murder here - chuntering on all the time.

Umpire's are weak as watta - should be telling him to wind his neck in and get on with the game.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Would kiss Virat on the cheek and see what he thought of that

With the openers so fragile they're already making the middle order the top order anyway, they're batting against a hard shiny seaming cherry, can't play with freedom, less used to playing watchful innings, less able to play their game. Catch 22. Promote them up or let the openers effectively promote them with their shit batting!
