First test - England v India - Edgbaston

[Silly Point]

Hussain couldn't be any further up Kholi's arse.

Someone needs to call it as it is. Disgraceful behaviour. All because of that little celebration at Headingley FFS? Get a grip you self entitled little ****

Root will get him out in this series.

 

[Mainze]

5-0

 

[Silly Point]

Bayliss out

 

[Monument View]

What a stupid shot by Stokes.

 

[LD19SAFC]

I’ll use the word again - pathetic

 

[TheRey]

There are three certainties in life.

Taxes, death, and England throwing away a good position with f***ing village standard batting and a collapse more seismic than the cluster fuck the government are making of Brexshit.

Looks a good cricketer him. How's he against spin? Could be important this winter.

Difficult to judge a young player against spin due to the ECB f***ing up the Championship as always, but haven't noticed anything amiss .

 

[LD19SAFC]

Cracking shot Curran lad.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Don't think it's that bad a score anything over 300 in England will be competitive

 

[Silly Point]

Bumble. Carrot ball

I think you could be right but I'm disappointed with how this final session is going.

Agree it should be better but it's nothing new for England. They've got a good spinner and we don't play spin well surprised they didn't play 2 spinners

Could have batted them out of it. And if Anderson and Broad don't fire we'll struggle massively

 

[stephen cartwright]

That looks out

And clearly was with three reds. How gaffney gave not out is beyond me

Rashid lbw ishant 13

278 for 8

 

[Safc_Luke]

Time for Curran to have a swipe.

 

[SAFC11]

Looked plum

 

[LD19SAFC]

How many balls with Broad last? I’ll go for 7.

The fudging of the bairstow and Butler issue is absurd really. Take the gloves off Bairstow , bat him 5 and tell him that that’s is role for the forseeable. It’s been clear for god knows how long that we couldn’t afford to waste him at 7 given our batting has been pitiful.
I don’t get the Curran selection either. Too small and farts it out. Don’t see a test match career in him as a frontline bowler.

Harsh on the lad, he's insanely young and at his age it's easier to put on the 5mph he needs than it is to become a natural swinger...

He's nowhere near ready yet mind, and his selection is utterly baffling.

How many balls with Broad last? I’ll go for 7.

I'll take 9.

You could have written that about any test in the last five years. The batting has never, not once, been good enough.

Someone on the BBC this week called him cricket's Ronaldo and it's about right...

Think it'll depend who's knocking down the door to take his place.

Livingston? Foakes? Burns down the order ?

Worcestershire's Clarke is with the squad this week. Between him and Pope for me.

Well played
