England v India - Third Test, 10/07


This morning we’ve had two ball changes and a drinks break

We’ve had 16 overs in 1 hour and 30 mins

That is absolutely pathetic

28 mins left so about 5 overs at the current rate

That will be a 21 over session. If the Indians are not docked points in the WTC table then the whole competition is even more of a farce than it already is

Tonight they will walk off after 80 overs at 630pm in perfect light and conditions

I saw a stat the other day and his record after the same amount of tests is virtually identical to Gilchrist’s. Hopefully the boy keeps it up, looks a special talent so far.

Yep after 21 innings

Gilchrist had 992 runs at 58.35 2 tons and 7 half centuries.

Smith into his 21st has 1035 runs at 60.88 2 tons and 5 half centuries.

Smith only needs 138 runs to enter the top 10 runs for England wicket keepers.

The 3 above him in Jones,Taylor and Foakes batted 53,83 and 46 times :lol:

Now they’ve got a harder ball let’s smash it all over. They’ll be asking for an orange after. This balls too hard 😥

They need to be docked points and iirc there’s potential for a captains ban after two warnings

As it’s India, nothing will happen

I'm sure they'll be more than happy taking a huge amount of money from Kookaburra and using those instead, and draw every test.

In fact I expect they'd use tennis balls if Slazenger offered them enough cash.
 
Haway Dinesh a disappointing lack of red. I expected something very suave from you.

Maybe he’s got red shoes on ?

And that’ll be a handy four
 
Carse is doing well so I hope he can stay at least to lunch with smith

Where is the demon Reddy ?

Not bowled today , that’s a strange one or are they scared he would be milked ?
 
Reddy nearly done Smith with that Yorker. Good over, had him playing and missing earlier in the over as well.
