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

[Spikey]

*looks at Yuvraj and Dhoni's scores*

Not sure if it's 2007 or 2017.

man between this and Nair's 300/the last test, Australia's gonna have to do something real special to suffer anything as embarrassing.

So I'm thinking Ravi Jadeja takes all 10 in an innings

 

[Daemon]

**** can't believe i missed this

What a call from 91Jmay earlier though

 

[Zinzan]

If England get a decent start and there is dew about, 350 might not be enough. One of the few sides going around who can chase >350 on their day.

 

[Stapel]

So the fact it hit the cable after the ball was above waist height, it's still not a no-ball?

Sounds a bit weird to me. Was it clearly above the waist?

Another thing: hitting the stumps during a free hit..... Seems fair to make that a dot ball, regardless where the ball goes after impact.

It was marginal tbf, I thought it looked slightly above waist height.

That hitting the stumps is weird too on the free hit.

Just here for Woakes' 3rd six-fer tbh.

 

[ImpatientLime]

tbf, UV and dhoni are playing against a ****ing village bowling attack.

hate all these bowlers so much.

 

[Jarquis]

Happened in a big bash game the other day and I still think it should be a dead ball if you get out on a free hit

 

[Daemon]

Handy knock from Jadhav

I think the bowlers being **** is easier to forgive than the fielding, which has been awful across all formats since Bayliss took over.

English fielding hasn't been especially good for years now. Even in the Flower peak years, England weren't an amazing catching and ground fielding side.

Plunkett, Ball and Stokes with a tight race to conceding 90 runs.

 

[Contra]

Stokes getting balled in the face by the ball boy was hilarious

 

[MW1304]

This has been woeful even for us. The number of full tosses has been staggering.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol. Stokes is angry at the best of times, let alone a ball boy accidentally sconing him in the face.

 

[Spikey]

ball boy is a hero

Nasser is spot on about how poorly yorkers are landed these days.

Maybe I've just got a rose tinted view of that era but I definitely feel like the catching was better, at least until everything went to **** at the end.

What bothers me the most is the ridiculous number of throws at the stumps, concede so many needless overthrows.

Congrats Liam.

Hopefully Broad and Anderson are picked for the Champions Trophy. Really doubt five one day matches will take much off their test careers.

 

[Zinzan]

380 back on the cards here.
