*Official* India Tour of England 2018

Okay, I'll go

1) Yes
2) Yes

and put it all on Rooooooooooooooooot.

Sorry mate.

@CricAddict, assuming that Ashwin picks one more and that I've won and there being a knockout thing coming later in the tour (as you said), could I still participate in the forthcoming series of questions before the said knockout?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Karthik has been woeful

Could say he has been Pants.

Surely he will replace him at some stage.

 

[Burgey]

Fair play to the fielder, straight away was saying it was dubious. Dhoni would have claimed it.

Indeed.

Terrific first over from sharma though.

 

[Shri]

Karthik was blinded and you can't fault him for not taking that off Ishant. He has handled the swinging ball well today. It's not exactly easy to keep in England.

He couldn't even collect a well left ball cleanly when it bounced sharply off Shami's bowling ffs. Are you sure you are not watching another match?

Ok guys, am sat infront of my sewing machine doing my quilting stuff and listening to the local ladies talking about the price of alcohol in Dublin ... what’s the score line atm as only have time and inclination to come on CW for an update...

52/3, you quilter

 

[Burgey]

LMS needs its own thread from tomorrow. Much easier for those running it to organise that way.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Must be blatantly not out for India not to have “spontaneously” claimed it. This is the side that maintained its appeal when Dhoni half volleyed Pietersen.

Sorry mate.

No worries. Fair play to you.

 

[Shri]

If Karthik drops a catch, drop him for the next game imo

There. Should have taken it off Vijay.

 

[cnerd123]

Karthik has been woeful

He's had some good moments from what I've seen, but he's still rock or diamonds. Too many fumbles for a top tier keeper.

I'm not convinced Pant will be better, but if Karthik drops another catch or struggles to score runs next Test I'd bring him in.

 

[Pratters]

He saved one which was surely going for four byes. He did not collect one ball off Shami which was awkward and I have no qualms about him collecting it cleanly.

 

[Shri]

Agree with Sanga about the soft signal bs.

 

[Shri]

Ishant's bowling full but too wide now.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

The commentary has felt flat this game,not sure what it is, sky are normally pretty good. Too many rotations maybe.

 

[Pratters]

How does Dhawan always get into the slip cordon.

 

[Burgey]

Ishant's bowling full but too wide now.

It’s his second over. Fmd.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Kumar's dad reckons Kumar would be a good commentator if he talked less and made less cliche commentary conversions.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Agree with Sanga about the soft signal bs.

Yeah, no idea what Bhaji was saying though.

Surely they could have got someone who can actually speak the language to go in the box.

 

[Shri]

Inswinger from Ishant, cover drive, bowled please. Bairstow, get on it.

 

[Burgey]

Still better than Dyer picking it up off the ground tbf.

They were comparable. The difference I suppose was that rightly ruined Dyer’s test career. Dhoni captained his country.

 

[Pratters]

Kumar's dad reckons Kumar would be a good commentator if he talked less and made less cliche commentary conversions.

Spot the irony.
