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

[Contra]

Ashwin will bowl poorer than this and get 5-ers. Has probably happened in the past TBF.

Yeah and that's why I rate his 6-fer in the first innings really highly.

 

[GIMH]

If we snag a draw is Kohli going to get roasted for not declaring?

 

[vcs]

One more wicket before close of play would be ideal.

 

[Adders]

Great knock Jonny Bairstow.

well he seems to get a 5fer every game in india so you're making a brave call here haha

 

[Contra]

yesssssssssssss Ashwin!

 

[vcs]

Gone. Or has he reviewed?

 

[Shri]

Ashwin!

 

[Pothas]

Ah well. Played well this session.

 

[vcs]

Out. This seems to happen more often than you'd think. What would be the odds of sweeping on to your boot and getting caught? Happened twice or thrice against NZ also.

 

[Contra]

Stokes is pretty much a walking wicket vs Ashwin isn't he, love it.

Also that stat about Ashwin getting his first wicket around the 14 over mark is kinda ridiculous.

 

[cnerd123]

Lmao Stokes

Hope not. We needed the draw, England needed the win. He made absolutely the right call IMO.

 

[Pothas]

yesssssssssssss Ashwin!

Slight variation here from Contra.

 

[Groundking]

Cook's had a pretty **** test match.

He got out being a moron in the first innings when everything was going great for England, got done by the bowler second innings when the side needed him to make a score, and let India make a ridiculous score in the field.

Had better days.

This test is a stackable offense for me, he's gone and lost the series with it, been **** with the bat and relegated our seem options to part timers, with stokes for example having only bowled 10 overs over 3 days of play in 182.3 of them.

 

[vcs]

Nah, that's only against NZ.

 

[vcs]

Lmao Stokes

India will win.

 

[Prince EWS]

So dire to use a nightwatchman in these circumstances IMO. When you bat to nine you don't one of the only two non-batsmen coming in at seven and making one of your allrounders come in at ten. I could understand if it was to protect Root or something, but Buttler should've manned up. Failing that they should've sent Rashid or Woakes - I reckon Rashid given the chance would've preferred batting now than waiting until #10.

 

[Shri]

How about that carom ball? As good as a leg break.

 

[cnerd123]

better than Rashid's legbreaks

 

[listento_me]

so...another bad second innings by England. They'll be all out soon. Horrendous tour of Asia so far.
