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

Disappointing turn out after the excellent crowds at the Wankhede (I've been watching Australia v Pakistan so have just flicked this on at the interval). Probably the Indians have lost interest again and are already looking ahead to their IPL rubbish.

Maybe if we had turned up and given them a game they might bother going.

 

[Burgey]

Maybe they want to see a contest so they've stayed away.

 

[ImpatientLime]

we're in peak chucking it away territory for both batsman.

The crowds were **** for the first three tests though, and England were the better team at Rajkot.

yeah, deffo would have got a better attendance up at durham.

STAT ALERT: Root becomes the first player twice to score a 50 in all 5 Tests of a series - v India in 2014 and now.

Got a 50 on debut too so 11 in a row against India.

The city was just wrecked by a cyclone.

Everyone wanted to see Anderson play obviously.

Still a Test mate. I don't like the dead rubber talk, it provides too many excuses to both sides.

Not like he only ever gets runs in dead rubbers though is it.

**** comment by you.

Not suggesting either those things

My point is it would have been nice if he could have done this while the series was still alive for England. Too little too late, etc.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Such a difference in Mishra to the other Indian spinners, huge quality difference.

At a Twenty20 Blast game, perhaps.

I'm being a bit hypocritical really as I'm not watching it haha.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Played Mo, now double it.

Well there were enough people in Mumbai at the game that Kirkut couldn't get a ticket.

MORE FACTS

Root's fifty is his 13th fifty of 2016, equalling the record for most 50+ scores in a year with Sehwag 2010 and Root 2015

 

[vcs]

England should have played well enough to keep the series alive, that might have helped. People have to work and stuff.

The Mumbai crowd was excellent. Great atmosphere.

Yeah, Axar Patel looks better than him and he is ****.

Did you read the post that mentioned the cyclone? It was bad enough for the players to wear a black arm band.

 

[Shri]

Yessssssss

 

[hazsa19]

****s sake. Thrown away so many runs already in his career.
