*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[OverratedSanity]

Good bowling but this is so ordinary from India.

 

[trundler]

Wicket number 3 as I posted that. Luckiest bastard in the world, Curran. Truly awful.
Gives me hope though.

 

[Burgey]

These blokes are batting like millionaires.

Principally because they are millionaires I guess.

My best,
Burgey.

 

[Borges]

This is some very fine bowling by the youngster. Poor batting alright, but still and all, it has to be exploited.

 

[Pratters]

Why are you writing these letters man?

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Wicket number 3 as I posted that. Luckiest bastard in the world, Curran. Truly awful.
Gives me hope though.

He's swinging this Dukes.

He's terrible with a Kookaburra, though.

 

[vcs]

****, this sounds terrible. Think we have completely squandered whatever advantage we had yesterday.

 

[Starfighter]

Lol India. There's still hope for a good score if Kohli can stay in, but seriously...

 

[Gnske]

These blokes are batting like millionaires.

Principally because they are millionaires I guess.

My best,
Burgey.

Zing!

Thanks a lot,

Gnske.

 

[Pratters]

Kohli shot just the reason I never rate him in same level as Williamson Smith Root.

truly lucky to be playing against batsman who are so comically poor against the moving ball

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Credit to Root for having the guts to review after the first one. Changed the game

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is not very encouraging from Kohli but dat intent.

 

[Starfighter]

Whenever I see Anderson's career in the sidebar: FMD that's a lot of wickets.

 

[Burgey]

Why? You like to see India losing or England winning ? And why?

Both teams full of shunts but kiwis are south sea island Poms anyway.

Traditionally a neutral would favour ABE, but since India mastered victimology in Sydney in 2008, the world has turned against them.

Anderson will get Kohli lbw ducking one back here, he’s dragging him across consistently.

My best,
Burgey.

 

[Borges]

Ah! Anderson is going to carry on and on as long as Kohli is at the crease. And he's asking Kohli some questions too.

 

[OverratedSanity]

truly luck to be playing against batsman who are so comically poor against the moving ball

Ball to Vijay was pretty good tbf.

 

[Thomas S]

Brilliant spell from Curran get Kohli out before lunch and India won't make 200

 

[Pratters]

At the first sight of any swing Indians crumble . Dire.

I'm not suggesting they build garbage. How many people live in and around London? There should be a cricket ground tehre which can accommodate at least 60K people. I realize there are massive logistical issues in doing it, given the city is so densely populated, but they need it. How good would it be to see WC matches with 60-70K people in attendance? Or an Ashes test with the same sort of crowd? As I mentioned previously, there is no realistic chance of it happening at Lord's given the price of real estate around the ground, but have a crack at it with The Oval. Would be magnificent to have a big stadium there which incorporates the old pavilion with new stands. You have to dream big, SKennedy. Otherwise the sport will only ever be small fry.

With two London venues, 28,000/25,000, and a guaranteed three tests per summer, I'd suggest that would be extravagant speculation for even the London market, although they're extending Lord's apparently

In Australia itself you have to use those mammoth stadiums for pop concerts and that weird Aussie Rules sport. It isn't sufficient, economically sound, that they're for cricket alone, so they're actually dual purpose. How many Rihanna concerts will possibly make this new cricket stadium economically viable - NB, London already has many large outdoor sports stadia, Wembley (90,000), Twickenham (82,000), Olympic (66,000), Emirates (60,000).
