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

[91Jmay]

Hameed coming down at an angle a bit. Could be worrying as brings LBW massively into play.

 

[Blocky]

This is spoken like a bloke whose never played the game tbh. If you get surprised by a short ball and it hits you on the gloves but get into line of the next one that ain't being scared.

This whole "never played the game", "never watched the game" when someone points out something legitimate, such as India having spin friendly conditions -gasp- imagine that.... is pretty pithy.

Time to dream, but not make dreams your master

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

wtf there was 2

 

[fredfertang]

So looks like we are set for a blockathon?

Just as I've finished a piece about Mudassar Nazar proclaiming that no one will ever approach his record for the slowest Test century these two both look they have their eyes on it

 

[harsh.ag]

Amazing shop shutting from these two. Hameed looks determined as ****. Hasn't been heartbroken yet, lucky lad.

 

[fredfertang]

Bloody Boycott has started calling him 'Baby Boycs' now

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Kohli needs to be proactive then if England is shop shutting. Not enough men around

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Needs a leg slip

Cricinfo headline

Cook, Hameed bed in as India set 405

ran out of synonyms

 

[fredfertang]

Needs a leg slip

Would prefer a downpour, but expecting to be disappointed on that one

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shows how well England bowled.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Cook's running has been awful

 

[91Jmay]

Shows how well England bowled.

Watching highlights seems like Broad was superb. Really developed his skill set as even 12 months ago don't think he could bowl like that

 

[grecian]

Gawd this is so tedious, the way that India jump around and make oohing noises every time Hameed doesn't middle the ball, particularly the slip,it's clearly trying to make him nervous, hope he realises it, or Cook has told him,

 

[Howe_zat]

India were 30/2 in both inning so we are now winning by two wickets.

How it works.

 

[Contra]

gotta try the pacers to see if there is any reverse.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Get hameed if you can

 

[91Jmay]

India have found one in Jayant. Looks a proper player in all aspects. Just an opener short of complete team. Reckon they are best team in the world for me

 

[Daemon]

150 overs remaining unless Jadeja bowls his 2 minute overs for the whole of tomorrow, in which case we might sneak in 300.
