*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah but Vijay and Rahul probably did less. I expected more than 50 runs from India's top three even though I didn't expect more than 6 from Dhawan.

76/3 is all right. Just need Rahane to bat like overseas Rahane.

Nobody with tattoos and hipster beards deserves success in life.

Someone submitted a comment on cricinfo that was a copy of a Burgey's post under the name "Anshuman".

Conspiracy theory is that it was cricinfo themselves.

I bet it's a CWer though.

^ Or Anshuman himself who also happens to be on CW

Spot on. Bearded Rahane has been way worse than clean shaven Rahane.

Not alright when you've seen off the new ball opening spell and their two best bowlers and remaining bowlers are a debutant, mediocre spinner and allrounder

Would it be ok if the 3 wickets went to Anderson instead? At the end of the day it changes nothing.

In the sense that you've lost wickets to their best bowler in the most difficult phase of the game as openers. If you've survived that, you really shouldn't be giving 3 wickets to a debutante

Anyone watching the Sky Documentary?

He's commenting on the match situation though. 76/3 is still 76/3 even if all three retired out because they said meh and just cbf to bat.

The one on Mumbai cricket? If so yes. It’s really good .

Yeah. Really well done. Brought so many memories. I grew up playing on grounds like the Azad Maidan where sometimes you get confused which match you belong to and which ball to chase

Things people have to do to save their jobs...

Don't you think Kohli and Shastri will go back to Rohit if Rahane appears as a goody boy again?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not even which match, which sport. There's usually be 4-5 cricket matches, a couple of football matches and a few nerds playing badminton at the place I used to go to as a kid. The chaos of a subcontinent ground is to be savoured.

Looked very busy on them, but was interesting to see so many playing. And how far people traveled to play too. Dedication. Such a love of the game

 

[Pratters]

Stokes is such a useful cricketer.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Don't know how they're surviving tbh

Still can't produce semi decent fast bowlers.
