*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[vcs]

Yeah I agree they batted horribly. There are no easy solutions to it. We can't do anything about the fact that Vijay, Pujara, Rahane have collectively somehow forgotten which end to hold a bat from, Rahul is brainless, and Dhawan has crap technique for these conditions. There are no replacements who are going to fix it either.

 

[OverratedSanity]

You should expect more than one batsman to play well though.

Or even just get 30 ffs.

This isn't as bad as Bridgetown, tbf 3rd Test, India tour of West Indies at Bridgetown, Mar 27-31 1997 | Match Summary | ESPNCricinfo

England are not a good side, India shouldn't be happy losing. Pakistan won a game don't forget. Lords next though, will be a flat Indian pancake that takes spin as usual. ****ing awful ground. Strip test matches from it for a summer

Test cricket is dead huh

People don't say it's dead to the quality of games. Close matches happen constantly. It's the crowd and viewers that are the issue

I think the main issue is the administrators. Give a good series and people will watch. Nothing like tests.

When was the last time England won 2 tests in a row? Did they do it against South Africa?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Glad Kohli said he considers his innings one of his best instead of spewing the completely disingenuous "We lost so it's worthless to me" cliche ala Michael Clarke.

West Indies?

Jesus the sound guy is going to get fired

 

[Fuller Pilch]

As a neutral who dislikes both teams, I found that almost as gripping as the Ish Sodhi-Neil Wagner draw a few months ago

 

[Pratters]

Curran is the cutest cricketer ever really.

 

[Daemon]

What a moment for Curran. So good to watch.

 

[Pratters]

When Jimmy player his first test Currant was what 3, 4..

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I've turned off the TV. Does he sound like a Pom or Zimbot?

 

[Pratters]

Third generation cricketer.

 

[Burner]

So I guess I predicted right. These fourth inning chases just don't happen these days.

India are not going to win a match this series if the batting is that abysmal. Then again England are pretty abysmal too so I guess it's going to be a lottery.

Kudos to Curran though. What an arrival!

 

[Prince EWS]

Curran is the cutest cricketer ever really.

Cute.
