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

[Shri]

Guys say your goodbyes to Jono, he's off to bed.

 

[91Jmay]

LBW was a fair no call, clipping and looked like going down on the angle.

 

[Jono]

Best bit was the look on Dravid's son's face when Kohli wahhh'd.

 

[vcs]

That is one of my favourite wickets ever.

I hate him more than Warner and Smith.

Was it not LBW? I'd have given that.

You must have enjoyed the Test series then.

 

[ImpatientLime]

you might be good kohli but you aren't beating jordan in a foot race

 

[mackembhoy]

Can someone explain why the move to home umpires in white ball cricket?

We have non elite umpires doing it too. The joker that we had in the South Africa series shouldn't be allowed to umpire again was terrible for both sides.

I'd love to see English/Aus umpires in the Ashes. As they are generally all very good.

 

[Compton]

I honestly think Kohli is annoyed that the non-striker didn't run himself out to save him

 

[Jono]

He didn't need to, it was Rahul Dravid's son that needed to

Fantastic display of irony there.

I wanted to fly to India and stick a stump through his head at times.

I wasn't a fan of the man prior to the series. But he took himself up a level to a level reserved for the likes of Piers Morgan,John Terry and Joey Barton.

 

[Jono]

OS, vcs, indiaholic - this pitch different to the usual Bangalore pitches?

 

[91Jmay]

So many ****ing wides. We must bowl more than any team in the world, even though our T20 bowling has been good for a few years.

 

[Howe_zat]

Wides in t20 really grinds my gears.

3 in 2.2 overs is shocking

 

[vcs]

Raina looks terrible so far.

 

[Shri]

Wtf? Either get your eye in or hit out. Don't swish blindly ffs.

 

[vcs]

OS, vcs, indiaholic - this pitch different to the usual Bangalore pitches?

I'm based in Bangalore right now. Might have gone if the game had been on the weekend.

No clue about this pitch. It's usually a batting pitch, I know that much.

 

[91Jmay]

No need to go full on this deck, just back of a length will do. Looks a fantastic pitch.

 

[indiaholic]

OS, vcs, indiaholic - this pitch different to the usual Bangalore pitches?

Not watching atm. But on a typical Bangalore pitch we should have scored 30 by now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It's usually a batting pitch, I know that much.

You don't say

 

[Shri]

Finally, first six of the game. Bouncy pitch, small boundaries. Should be a run fest.
