Reading the above raw meat has been on the menu countrywide. I’m laughing off this “test”. 
Before they turned the square around that looks around about where warne bowled Gatting . It’s a Australian/German conspiracy

This is the biggest annoyance for me, so disappointing. The 1st game looked like it set it up brilliantly even the 2nd pitch broke up after an hour. A combination of England's incompetence and India preparing pitches that last a day and a half.

It's sad that they would rather win a game like today than put on a fair contest. Don't know if you read Yuvraj's comment on twitter but if your own past players are critical of the pitch, it's not a good look. The "passionate" Indian fans on there apparently had a go at him , Always preffered Pakistan as a cricket team

2 poor shots today, got a reprieve after the first
Second time I've read this today, A King Pair is two golden ducks. Bairstow got a Pair, not a King Pair.

But he's a King sized bell, soooo...
Picking out Bairstow, out twice for a king pair, aye its not his fault ffs
here are some ratings
England player ratings v India: Horror show for Bairstow, Pope, Sibley
you know less about cricket than you do about football, which takes some doing like
you seem to dislike him because he wants to be a wicketkeeper so much rather than a batsman
he wants to do that to follow in his father's footsteps
he wants to do that as his father committed suicide and is trying to follow in his legacy with the gloves
maybe think about what thats like

They have the shittest fans in cricket, they don't care about the game they just want to see India win at any cost.It's sad that they would rather win a game like today than put on a fair contest.

They boo every overturned opposition decision as if they are cheats, I don't care about Australians like a lot of people but modern Indian cricket is a nasty piece of work imo.
I had a quick browse on twitter, and the major answer seems to be, how can it be a bad pitch, one team won by ten wickets.
Not sure how that has any relevance when both teams cant score over 150
You could play in the Sahara desert or on Mars and a team would still win.

I was actually pissed off with Englands effort in the 4th Innings.
No complaints from me, I genuinely dont know how you bat on that, the pitch combined with the hard pink ball, 2 balls landing in the exact same spot, one was turning square, the other was skidding straight on with pace.
England could have got more in first innings, if they'd got 220/230 which is a big ask, they'd have walked the game.
I am honestly not bringing too many judgements on any of the players, I just hope they arent too hit by it long term from it
still believe in Sibley, Crawley and Pope, disapointed with their returns but its been impossible. You just hope their confidence hasn't diminished.

4th Innings mate, Indians tiny run chase. Was always almost a forlorn hope, but they didn't even try.
ah sorry got you, yeah maybe right there
They obviously just demoralised by the whole thing
You are probably right, but I just found the whole game absolutely farcical that struggle to get angry at any of the players tbh
If we'd won on that, it would have just been absolute pot luck anyway, someone chancing their arm etc

Bloody hell no cricket today! Just got me thinking I wonder what the Indian TV broadcaster who have probably paid a fortune for the rights to show the cricket think of these pitches.
