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

Whatever they do I hope they re-jig the batting order and give Moeen a go at four. Then let him bat three in the second innings in order to complete the set.

Can also bump him down in Mumbai to 10 and 11 and REALLY complete the set.

Mohali moment:

What a test match

Best of the last decade imo.

Virat Kohli didn?t tamper ball, England media just poor losers: Virender Sehwag | cricket | Hindustan Times

Classic Sehwag.

“Faf shouldn’t be bothered about this as he did nothing wrong. You’re allowed to have toffees, lollies, etc. and you’re also allowed to apply saliva to shine the ball.
“So I really don’t know what’s wrong with that. It’s not like someone is applying something else other than saliva,” Sehwag said in an exclusive chat.

Mohali moment:

Haha, I remember there was a huge LBW appeal the previous ball before Ojha squirted the winning runs as well.

Yeah, that was out too and was not given. Before that though, Ishant was not out but was given LBW. Caused some waahs from Waahstralians iirc.

There was a missed run out off that ball too.

 

[OverratedSanity]

There was a missed run out off that ball too.

And it went for four overthrows. One of the craziest single deliveries of cricket ever. Almost everything happened.

I seem to remember Steve Smith was on as a sub-fielder for Bollinger (I think?) and made that overthrow. First time I got a look at him.

Mohali Test: Curator says track not pace-friendly, will benefit all players - Sports

Woakes thinks it will turn though:

Gareth Batty expected to be recalled for third India vs England Test

 

[FBU]

Do Broad and Anderson still expect public apologies in the locker room from fielder who drop catches?

Anderson wasn't on that tour to Bangladesh, when KP said the bowlers told the fielders to apologise.

Looks like a decent Day 4 wicket.

Since youve said you don't rate Ashwin and say he only takes so many wickets because of all these rank turners in India, what're your thoughts on his 5fer in the first innings of the previous test?

 

[Blocky]

Considering Jadeja was also threatening, you can take his wickets with a grain of salt, he bowls well in India conditions, is patient, accurate and the age old in-out field placements is a great move for him; he does the job he's expected to do.,

 

[Shri]

I now see why everyone thinks of you the way they do.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Woakes in for injured Broad then.
Buttler in for Fuccktit
Batty in for Ansari

Mate he openly confessed to trolling before his previous ban

He's just come back to do the same and people are replying to him seriously. Why idk. Just pick on him and reap your likes.

 

[Blocky]

Trolling: i.e expressing correct opinions about cricketers who are only good in certain conditions, rather than just plain good.

Lol. You're almost as funny as TJB/Gnske

 

[Blocky]

I'm sorry, I didn't realise India was such a force away from sub continent conditions - I didn't realise Ashwin had bowled them to exactly 0 series wins outside of India against meaningful opponents.
