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

[flibbertyjibber]

Cook has found an opening partner who can put HIM to sleep. Congrats on finding the talent England. Good player but I don't like his defensive style, much like Cook's.

You don't like abilities do you?

What the **** are you talking about? Read the damn post or watch the game.

Absolute drivel.

What you post is absolute drivel - read the above where they explain it and use big pictures, so even you can understand it.

Be it "where did the ball pitch" or "would the ball hit the stumps" there is a margin of error in both.

Dravid vs spin was aggressive. Pooman vs spin is aggressive. So yeah.

Dravid was elegant as **** too. Cook is as robotic as it gets.

 

[indiaholic]

Yeah Dravid doesn't belong in this discussion. Sooo pretty..

 

[Compton]

Never really understood the idea that Cook is an overtly defensive batsman. He's more than happy to play one of his three scoring shots as often as the bowler is silly enough to permit him.

Cook is better than Dravid in Indian conditions.

England are cooked here.

Shoot the bastards out, Ash!

No.

Nasser would have been a good salesman. He's trying to convince the whole India about DRS since the start of the series. Still trying.

Nice attempt to backtrack (I see what you did), but no. Just admit you were wrong and move on.

It's the same reason/rationale as to why umpires call exists - if you're stubbornly refusing "margin of error" because I only mentioned one out of the two areas it comes into play, that's on you.

Amazing batting from cook to keep that grubber out. It's not just his technique that's great for Indian conditions, it's that he knows what works in these conditions. Cuts out horizontal bat shots to short deliveries on the stumps.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

No.

Don't let facts get in the way.

 

[Pothas]

No.

He probably is though, Dravid way better than Cook in England of course.

Don't talk rubbish. All time leading run scorer in India at average of 52

It's not the same and you know it. Impact should not have that margin of error.

Still not a great review mind. India need to get better with it if they're actually going to use it going forward.

Backtracker? No mate, it's balltracker.

Kohli hit a shooter for four through midwicket yesterday.

A slower one but still.
