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

[flibbertyjibber]

All I've seen is the scorecard and cricinfo's descriptions of the wickets.
Has the pitch done much, or have we just batted horribly?

I know that Cook got a snorter of a delivery, but apart from that?

Root ran out Hameed then gave it away with a horror shot. Duckett has a technical flaw that Ashwin exploited and Mo should have played a shot.

Got trapped like rabbits in headlights trying to survive rather than bat normally. They bowled well but not brilliantly, pitch does the odd bit but not unplayable.

Good game management from them, bad from us = 103-5

 

[Kirkut]

A lot of credit goes to the fast bowlers, didn't get many wickets but didn't allow the batsmen to settle in first 10 overs. Umesh bowled really quick today.

Dan_M_Bali is Listen_to_me multi.

Guaranteed.

afraid not

Either that or just an idiot.

He's a multi but it's not listen to me.

Vicleggie?

Oh I know. Its either Furball or sledger for sure. We won't prove anything though. Wouldn't be surprised if they are sharing a password to use the same account either.

That review was a classic case of what I said about before the series, how will India use it not being used to using it and Atherton is spot on about Cook discussing it with the keeper as would most other captains. Obviously not going to matter in the grand scheme of things in this game but at some stage in the future they may mess up in a tight situation so they do need to use it better and learn quickly how to use it better.

They did a good job with the other lbw tbh.

Nah, posting not ****e enough.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Said it before, you cant have the middle order packed with 4 left handers. Throw in Bairstow in the middle somewhere.

 

[vcs]

Great day, would have preferred a few more runs but can't complain all in all. Need to bundle them out by lunch tomorrow.

No, it's a poster that got banned for racist insults for a 6 month period.

Colonel R Dyer, heh.

Dude came in named as the guy who ordered the Jallianwalah Bagh Massacre in Amritsar. Gotta like a guy who comes in into an India-England tour thread as one of the most cruel and racist officers of the British Raj. Or not. Not, mostly.

 

[GIMH]

As if it's either of those two goons

So disappointed with Joe Root. Feel like my plan for us to get 600 is under threat, but a 300+ partnership from the gingers will get us close to par and then the tail can get us a lead. Phew.

Yeah, spot on. Not impressed by England's batting.

Yeah and the first defence came out from me and after getting destroyed he came back with a more sane username. Where's my award?

The Weasleys won't do that.

There's no rational explanation for the score. Some weak batting line-ups going in world cricket atm.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Good work that, scoring at 2 an over whilst simultaneously losing wickets to a catch at long off and a run out.

 

[jimbags]

At least we made three figures
