India v England 3rd Test Rajkot


It’s a day 4 pitch lads and they’ve got a bloke with 500 test wickets

Look how hard India found it earlier

And anyway, it’s just so refreshing watching them play attacking cricket, that’s what matters
 
"I think even sending in a nightwatchman when you're 330 ahead shows that they're slightly wary of us," Duckett said, when asked if England were realistically out of the game. "We're going to continue the way that we play, and if we get two or three blokes in on that pitch, scoring quickly, you never know what can happen."

Asked for a realistic target that England could chase, Duckett told the BBC: "The more the better. This team is all about doing special things and creating history. They can have as many as they want and we'll go and get them."
 
Always expected an innings like this to happen in this series with Bazball.
Biggest disappointment, and I'm sorry to say has been Root, that dropped catch on day 1, that shot on day 2 - both instances changed the course of the game.

He's right, the team is busy making history by losing by a record margin.

Think.they need to stop sending Duckett to speak to the media, remember him saying something just as stupid on a previous interview

The communication that comes out is often cult like. I get positivity and optimism but there’s a point when it’s entirely fantasy and delusion. People aren’t daft, don’t treat them as such

They all do that's the problem, they've drank the kool aid, and feel they are the saviours of cricket so are invincible. A little humility goes a long way
 
Always said the bazball approach is refreshing and undoubtedly it's exciting to watch but this lot clearly don't have a brain when they're trying to bat like wankers on day 3 in India as if it's a one day game, it's so frustrating. Test cricket is all about adapting to game situation and it's ever so frustrating to see this lot crumbling when they needed to adapt. Common sense cricket as I say watching Durham or under Franklin "brain dead cricket". Take your pick
