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

[Daemon]

Be most disappointing if he isn't batting #1 tbh

Impossible, he's still in the naughty corner for saying he should bat above Wade.

 

[harsh.ag]

Very immature of him tbh. And dumb. But he's always been pretty small minded in having a potshot at people. Just no need for it. Result speaks for itself.

Yeah. Don't know why he would do it. But he's just that kind of aggressive, I suppose. Wants to beat rather than win, if that makes any sense.

 

[Jono]

Now going after England's batsmen hard. This is unbelievable. Full aggro.

what's he saying

What rank does kohli hit after this test? Number 1?

TPC is miles in front

Nah, he was directly asked about the differences between the two sides.

 

[sunilreddy]

Pathetic guy Jimmy Anderson..such a looser..

 

[Burner]

He's a prick most of the times but this time I think he's just speaking his mind. The difference between the teams have been the application shown really, like he said, England barely played 6 dot balls in a row and you just can't win playing like that.

what's he saying

Something about Jono, stalker, restraining order, etc

Didnt catch the rest of it

 

[harsh.ag]

what's he saying

They haven't batted well. Haven't defended well. Haven't had the mindset to defend 6 deliveries in a row. Don't have a good defensive strategy against India's spinners.

 

[Daemon]

what's he saying

When asked about his innings, he said he knew the bowlers were tiring because of being bowled for so long and so the bad balls would come. He also mentioned how after attacking the spinners the quicks would come on for a short while just to try and restrict runs rather than take wickets.

When asked about the difference in the sides he said India worked a lot on their defence while England don't seem to trust theirs.

Kohli in the post match interview was totally spot on! Good interview.

And Cook speaking about and literally defending Anderson's comments from yesterday..

 

[Zinzan]

Holy **** England, what a **** hiding. Makes us NZ'ders feel a little less worse about our tour there, and we couldn't even win a toss.

An innings defeat after winning the toss and batting on a dry wicket taking turn is pretty diabolical.

Full credit to India, surely we can now all; agree that as of this moment only India and SA are serious contenders for the best Test sides going around.

Eh, it's no big deal. I still remember him saying "he doesn't have to respect Johnson" midway through the Melbourne test and people on CW (not aimed at you) saying he shouldn't have said that because the team was losing. Now the team is dominating and he's made some frank, albeit slightly dickish comments, and we're saying he shouldn't have said anything because the team was losing anyway.

He was a little more aggressive than needed, but it wasn't anything really over the top imo.

 

[Kirkut]

Pics!!

Oh man, I only have pics of England's practice session. Couldn't get more pics due to stupid storage issue of my phone at wrong time!

 

[indiaholic]

Nothing too bad but you don't need to keep hitting somebody who is already knocked out. Mark Hunt walk off KOs ftw.

 

[harsh.ag]

What sort of target should we be looking to set India?

-30 would be a decent effort.

Decent effort by the Poms then.

 

[Kirkut]

I wanted to see Umesh bowl, really wanted to see 90 mph bowling at real time.

Didn't come off that way to me at all.

I missed the comments, & sounds like they weren't the best, but there is a certain amount of irony reading Australian's calling others out for stupid, immature, derogatory, cheap & generally unnecessary comments about opposition players. Aussies have made a living out of it.

Haha, one summary sounds so much worse than the other.

Will have to just listen myself.
