England v India 5th Test, Edgbaston (1st July) Match Thread

[Markymarkspunkybunch]

India docked 2 points from the WTC for a slow over rate. Can today get any better?

Drops them below Pakistan in the table

Where the fuck are all the Indians? Couldn’t get moved on social media yesterday for them.

Cowardly gobshites.

Given the latest Test win and the decent weather we've had on the whole this season is it fair to say it's been an Indian Summer (so far)

Sound like they're from Birmingham, not Mumbai.

Brilliant that mind.

This “new brand” is class, previously we’d have tried to bat time and been bowled out for 190. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it might not come off and might look foolish, but it’s bloody exciting

Shame we aren't playing the convicts this year.

SA will be a big challenge, good young team on the rise.

Think the bowler you refer to is Max Walker The tune could be Soul Limbo by Booker T and the MG's

I confess to cheating and googling the Groucho Marx lookalike waiter .Turns out it was Asif Masood the Pakistan test cricketer.Played for Northumberland and County Club for a couple of seasons in the mid 70's

That’s it we need to accept and embrace that this approach will not work all the time.

It can’t it’s too risky!

But what a transformation!!

It’s not really down to selection but more giving the players confidence to express themselves

Last month been amazing for English cricket imo

 

[dangermows]

At least they give it back and create their own atmosphere. Aussies just sit there in their yellow caps and take it for 5 days

The Indian fans live here so have picked up on UK sporting banter.

Yup. And at the moment, it's going for us. On another day Bairstow is caught early (should've been tbf) and today doesnt happen.

True just looking at it from a football perspective I suppose. Just one of those things that was mildly amusing in football at first but has been done to death
