Why hasn’t root given himself a few overs?

Root still having a go on the way off. Absolute disgrace this game
Admission of the wrong team selected. 11 wickets to spin on day one.

It’s a shame we couldn’t get another 40/50 runs. They do need to make a complaint about the umpiring mind, it’s embarrassing

He’s a hour late then Marra irs just gone 10
Not a fan of the sport but baseball players are a bit more mental like they get hit with the ball and go mad even see the catchers going wild with the umpiresIf I'd been playing for England there I'd have been banned for life
Commentators criticising he over rate but not the umpiring

Aye, some seem to think you cant criticise umpirng and admit England would be well beaten anyway
they arent mutually exclusive
the umpiring isn't up to international standard, I've never seen anything like that
this 3rd umpire was removed the other year from a T20 after England complained, he gave Root out when he wasn;t, will try find article

Rohit given out by on field umpires = going over the top
Stokes given catch by on field umpires = shown to have hit the ground
4 of our batsmen given out LBW - all of them were.
1 of their batsmen not given LBW to an umpires call
I think that's the entire summary of the on field umpires decision making today. As ive said before that is deemed as cheating / bias etc yet when much worse decisions happen in England in our favour theres no undercurrent as its just one of those things.
I honestly cant get my head around it - the off field stuff is much more suspicious IMO.
Get in Leachy lad.

Not a chance.
At best they will say the stumping was close.

Sorry Rat but it is not the umpiring that is losing England the match, it is our appalling batting. Do i agree the third umpiring is highly dubious, hell yes, but i would rather focus on England's poor batting and poor selection. At least they can realistically be improved!

Yep, after what they saw in that 2nd Test there was no way India weren't going to want another big turner here.
The pink ball and playing under the lights/swing thing has massively clouded the issue though and with the fact India are strong in the seam department these days, coupled with how green the pitch was a few days out, I think means they probably thought they had to go in seam heavy just in case and rely on Leach bowling well and Root as the second spinner if and when it did spin.

I don’t mind if they make mistakes or potentially they’ve called them right but to look at replays once and make a decision isn’t acceptable. Rohit was stumped twice in the last game as well
the umpiring has been utterly shocking like and you know that, you're just too stubbon to admit yo u are wrong
to suggest here that its actually England who have had the rub of the green
wow

Not out as
a) it wasn't
b) Nowt to do withy on field umpire who referred it as they always do
far too quick a decision by the off field crew again tho.
Umpires call on those four outs, umpires call given not out when India were batting. That’s reality
