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

[Shri]

Any rain around?

Might be during the 5th test. Overcast skies have been seen in Chennai for about 10 days. Might bring CLouderson into the game.

 

[centurymaker]

Root doesn't seem to have much of a defense game against quality spin.
Seems to attack his way out. Looking to score every ball, without considering the quality of the ball.
Edgy.

 

[GIMH]

Just woke up.

[centurymaker]

I guess he feels that the best way to go about it is attack, which isn't the worst mindset. But he does look seriously insecure in his defense which isn't the best sign long term.

True but given the situation of the game, not ideal approach.

 

[Shri]

Seesh

 

[Contra]

Man Ashwin all over Bairstow.

 

[Jono]

Just woke up.

Morning boner?

 

[vcs]

LOL this is fairly unplayable stuff from Ashwin. Especially for a new batsman.

 

[Shri]

Morning boner?

New name for Kohli.

 

[fredfertang]

This is ridiculous - why can't we bat on the same wicket India did?

 

[Shri]

Kohli's surely tempted for a long leg.

 

[vcs]

Why was Ojha so ineffective against Cook last time? He's really struggled against Jadeja. I guess it's because Ojha was ****.

Heh

 

[Contra]

Why was Ojha so ineffective against Cook last time? He's really struggled against Jadeja. I guess it's because Ojha was ****.

It's the pace he bowls with.

 

[vcs]

How has Ashwin not got a wicket yet?

 

[duffer]

Cutting when it is that full?

This won't end well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ojha was our best bowler that series tbh. But Jadeja's flatter trajectory is really troubling cook.

 

[Zinzan]

Meanwhile Root cruises to 36 without breaking a sweat while there's chaos around him.

 

[vcs]

Root's class.

 

[Burgey]

This is classic Root In Asiaing from Root here.
