Such a defensive field for V2???
Who is going to be criticising it???A word about this pitch, by the way. It'll come in for some criticism (especially if England lose), but I think it's perfect. There's nothing like a low-scoring Test Match for sustained tension. I do wish they were more frequent.
Really? This happens every time a non-Asian team is spun out in Asia.That's a little unfair, and completely unfounded.
They don't tend to post here though.I don't know about that. There are legions of people who see nothing in cricket unless every second ball descends on Row Z.
Well, I hope so. But I well remember the self-righteous noises we heard after South Africa's last visit to India...Who is going to be criticising it???
And I agree this is a great wicket, win or lose this test I would much rather see 200 V's 200 than 500 V's 500. And I'm sure that 99.94% of English posters on this forum would say the same.
No it doesn't. What mainly happens is pre-emptive crying by Asian fans about how fine the pitch is.Really? This happens every team a non-Asian team is spun out in Asia.
I think by every team you mean Australia.Really? This happens every team a non-Asian team is spun out in Asia.
Fixed.Who is going to be criticising it???

Well, if there's one positive to take, it's that this dilemma is not going to materialiseWhilst he certainly hasn't been anywhere near as good as he can be, in fairness to him he had a LOT of catches put down off his bowling, IIRC. I agree that I'd rather see Ball, though, especially as he was arguably unlucky to be dropped in the first place.
With Broad rested though, what happens now if Stokes, Woakes & Finn all gun it in this test? Does he stay rested until one of them does badly? Would seem strange
Maybe but there's no need to pre-empt muppet comments when none have actually been made. Unless you wanna spend time feeling cleverer than some nameless ignorant people, in which case, youtube is bestReally? This happens every team a non-Asian team is spun out in Asia.
It was a passing remark. You guys have made a lot more of it than I did. My main purpose was to praise the pitch, not to snipe at those who'll be sniping at it.Maybe but there's no need to pre-empt muppet comments when none have actually been made.
