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

[honestbharani]

With the enforced breaks from work due to our ex CM passing away and now Vardah, I cant miss work anymore and might actually be working over the weekend. Cant believe I am gonna miss the game.

 

[vcs]

That's a tad unfortunate. You'll be refreshing cricinfo and CW all day anyway, so might as well go to the game.

I wish my boss was a cricket fan, would solve so many problems..

 

[honestbharani]

Well, tbf, hotstar has in fact solved so many problems

The Brain interviewing The Jr. Brain..

Its nice to see some real CW level cricket tragics in the Indian side.

I love Anderson's grumpy interviews, I find him quite hilarious. He's a true Lancastrian.

 

[Burgey]

Or quite simply, he is a really nice guy who has been misunderstood.

Possible, but Jono likes him. So it's unlikely.

I couldn't see him making the "wait til you come to India" comments these days, in light of what's he said this week. Seems like he's growing up a lot. Good on him

 

[GIMH]

Love it that according to numpties like tec15, Anderson's poor tour invalidates his precious excellent ones.

And anyone using the Clouderson nickname should put a good stack of cash on Donald Trump becoming president because you would get outrageous odds for that back in 2009, when the nickname was last valid.

Cheers ****s

Not to mention the fact that he obviously worked really hard to get fit for this series, could have easily sat it out.

 

[GIMH]

I mean if he was from, say, Mumbai he would be India's best ever seamer by quite some distance, not sure why some are so keen to denigrate him.

I'd like to restate my calls for Jono to get this lot into shape.

 

[Furball]

I see that Jimmeh has begged of "injured" for the final test. And this after he was also "injured" for the test at Rajkot. Wouldn't be the case if it was a May test at Durham against Sri Lanka, now would it? And to think some people were unironically calling him "the best pace bowler in the Subcontinent" in this decade.

No-one unironically called him that. That mantle belongs to Steyn.

You're kidding yourself on if you don't think he hasn't generally bowled very well in Asia. Half a series where he's been returning from injury doesn't change that.

The toss thing as well, nobody on here ever said the 'win the toss win the game thing' did they? We all know India are great at home, no need to keep seeking such validation.

Everyone is either a complete **** or god's gift, usually based on a couple of comments in press conferences, or presumed behaviour based on backroom things we don't know the answer to. It's kind of boring hearing people trash the character of anyone who doesn't spout the usual inanities in the media.

I'd use Kohli as a good example of this actually, people still think he's a **** based on a couple of relatively harmless things he said/did a couple of years ago, when everything he does these days makes me like him all the more.

 

[ImpatientLime]

lol at people getting uptight over ****ing tec. a bloke who treats england with such disdain, regardless of the integrity of his opinion that you may as well label him a racist fruitloop.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah but tbf the comments we are addressing are not solely his

 

[Furball]

Yeah I seem to have woken up in 2008 with the amount of ****witted comments there's been about Anderson recently.

 

[cnerd123]

Will try and go to the stadium tomorrow. If the tickets are affordable, I will atten the game for the first three days.

Awesome



We won't have to read your posts for the best part of three days. So excited

 

[Shri]

Bad luck today. Will try to go to the stadium tomorrow.

 

[Daemon]

Apparently Root was having some throwdowns on the road because the nets are ****ed

 

[Shri]

Preparation for the Ashes.

 

[Burgey]

Preparation for the Ashes.

Good from you.
