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

[fredfertang]

I have barely seen any of India's bowling these two days

How rubbish have we been?

It's more about our batting than the Indian bowling, and the fielding of course

 

[Stapel]

Just the 5 runs from the last 5 overs. Perhaps calling for slog shots was wrong, but this is quite the unexpected opposite.

Love that discussion then about Mishra, discussing his place and Shiva says that a young lad has bowled well in IPL and could get picked. WTF has IPL performances got to do with a test match place?

This is India.

Nice to see Ashwin and co when the pitch is not a made to order shitfest like the ones they got against South Africa. Mehedi and Shakib> This overrated rabble. Can't wait to see them tour again.

 

[Shri]

We will still be in the game depending on the condition of the pitch even if we are behind by 100-150 runs when our innings is done. Most likely to be a draw though.

Points for trying. Try harder for even more points next time.

I understand we want to bat time as well but this is too slow in my opinion

There's no way we're in with a chance of winning this. Teams don't lose after scoring 500+ in the first innings unless it's Adelaide.

Sorry, you'll have to clarify........who is "we" this week??

To be fair they are swinging but lost the timing totally at present.

why are you constantly booty blasted?

What are the chances of Ben Stokes being rested for a test match in this series?

 

[Tec15]

Mishra still living of that five-for he took against the Aussies in his debut. Not so easy when your short pitched long hops don't become unplayable grubbers, is it?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

If we win the series before the last test maybe. No chance other than that. Might play as a bat solely if has a niggle to stop him bowling anyway.

Okay, which spinner will be played instead of Ashwin when India next tour Australia/South Africa, so that his average can be protected? Recall for Karn Sharma? Better?

You do realize that you are not saying anything profoundly unique or smart, right?

Finally

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Tired dismissal. Can't see him bowling today. Might not field much either.

 

[Stapel]

Broad to have a wild go, I guess......
