***Official*** England in India 2016/17

BTW that has to be one of the worst innings Cook's played... It's not just that he was dropped twice, he didn't look remotely comfortable for ainute.

Deserved to get back into a/c one hour ago

The Democrats should have picked Hameed

 

[Tom Flint]

England better win this test cos we're gonna get a dust bowl for the next four

Last three times Cook has been given out in test matches in India, the decision was incorrect.

 

[fredfertang]

How many times has Hameed been put down?

It really was a terrible decision. We joke about batsmen getting review wrong but it's tough for them to pick it right because they've just missed the ball, they're the last person to ask. That' why we all laugh at Watson et al who review everything even though they're almost always wrong.

Hameed is a debutant who's never played with DRS before and doesn't have the right angle to judge lbw even if he is at the right end.

It was a crap decision from Gaffeney and DRS doesn't always assist.

Once

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

 

[Pothas]

Looks too good.

 

[fredfertang]

Hameed won't fall for tricks like that

 

[Howe_zat]

Not the first time Jadeja's bowled one of those against us

I preferred that Jadeja, with the joyful hair and the questionable place

 

[fredfertang]

Once

So Cook was the main beneficiary of Indian largesse - were they difficult chances?

 

[Cabinet96]

I love Hameed already. Please be the one to break the wheel.

One was hard, a dive from Kohli out of the slips because it only barely carried. The rest were typical slip catches.

I know right, him and Root together as well.

It's all on whether he lasts for 100 balls, iirc.

Should have reviewed it.

Damn, finally we can make that post too.

 

[artvandalay]

Recent performances made me believe that our spud level slip catching was no longer an issue and we go drop 3.

Ashwin has looked okay even in this pitch. Promising signs for his away tours from now on.
