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

[honestbharani]

Nair can apparently speak or at least understand Tamil. Remember when we were bowling, Ashwin was yelling "Dei Karun, inge vaada" (Karun, move towards here) and then when they were batting together, pretty sure I heard Ashwin yell "odu odu" (run run) a few times for some quick singles.

Would be hilarious if he has to be dropped after this knock. I dont rate him as an international batsman even after this knock but boy he has been absolutely fantastic.

Yup he doesn't appear to be Test class despite his awesome efforts here

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oooo spooky, a single for 666/6.

And its Ben Stokes bowling and Bairstow keeping. As if we needed more proof of gingers being evil.

 

[honestbharani]

Decent enough to be around the A squads, I reckon and if he can tighten up his game, against seamers and movement, surely can become test class as his career progresses.

At least Karun should be ahead of Rohit in the pecking order when the next overseas tour comes around.

This is a dull test.

Lead of 200 and declare surely? Can the English bats provide a collapse of some sort to make it interesting?

 

[MW1304]

I want Nair to beat Lara. Screw declaring; India have the series, demoralise England and utterly destroy them imo.

It's not warfare ffs, try to win the game.

Anyhow the batsmen should be pretty aware of their job here by now. Bat out a day, possibly a few overs more. Don't be complete embarrassments.

Yes

 

[OverratedSanity]

Boooooooooooorrrrrrrring. Declare now. This is enough.

 

[cnerd123]

Nah screw the declaration. I want a Nair 400 and 100s for Jaddu and Mishra

 

[honestbharani]

Let the youngster get his 250, FFS.

 

[Burgey]

This test needs a mercy rule.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

this series needs a mercy rule.

[harsh.ag]

Thought bubble of every England player on the field - This is so ****ed up.

 

[Contra]

300 and then declare. That means england have to bat out a day and India won't have to chase a small total if it gets to that point.
