OK Spark, back on topic then.

Will India last till lunch/avoid an innings defeat then?

Wow that was exciting.

 

[Spark]

Heard the T20 argument plenty of times but I still don't buy it tbh, for a number of reasons

Did you just make a bad joke then laugh at it yourself?

As I said elsewhere, the best thing about T20 is that any flaw a player has can easily be blamed on that and no-one really bats an eyelid

 

[Prince EWS]

T20 is the reason that only one team can be the best in the world at once.

Quite. No coincidence England and India's rise to number 1 was preceeded by a World T20 win.

I just checked Graham Onions' stats. He has played but 8 tests and taken 30 wickets, it seems. Holy ****! The English cricket fans are really something! The guy does not have much more credentials than Umesh Yadav.

 

[Shri]

Wonder why no-one's ever thought of that before.

Btw is it possible to multi quote while using the quick reply function?

Nah. If you want to multi-quote then you have to reply properly.

 

[Johnners]

Multi-quote wars suggest otherwise 8|

wow cricket is a funny game.. Same time last year, everyone was talking about how toothless the Australian bowling attack was.
And now, when Cummins and Pattinson are fit, you don't know who to drop. These are exciting times.

 

[silentstriker]

IPL and 20/20 cricket in general is one reason why many sides are collapsing so often of late once there has been a bit of spice in the wickets. The players lack basic technique or the ability to concentrate for long periods without trying to smash the cover off the ball.

Very few if any of these players learned their techniques in the era of T20.

They played South Africa in a 2 Test series on very bowler-friendly pitches, you can't draw much from such a series in the context of bowlers.

India are shot, the groundstaff could have concreted over Sydney and India would have still been too busy waving their white flag to have batted well. Playing India away from their cosy slow and low ****e at home doesn't much resemble Test cricket at the moment. It's just a slaughter

Yeah, and England didn't bowl well in the 4-0 series at all, India were just giving their wickets away.

Well the captain and Sehwag were.

This is the test where Kohli and next generation is going to take over, just wait he will get a double

I hope he does, make a game of it anyway and prove me wrong as I don't think he will make it as a test bat.
