*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[OverratedSanity]

Broad has been poor all day

He's not done much for a while now has he?

In b4 6fer in 2nd innings.

 

[OverratedSanity]

What a guy Ashwin is

 

[vcs]

England don't need much more than a couple of hours to bowl us out tbh. Even the raindance is futile.

Wasn't there rain forecast in one of the Tests in the 2014 series and they couldn't bat out one session to take the match into the next day? What a shitshow that was..

Probably going to be the same this time.

 

[superkingdave]

LOL at reviewing that

Jimmy could get to 550 today!

Average can sneak under 27 as well for career.

Yep. Got bowled out for 80 something and the entirety of the next day it rained like peak Mumbai monsoon lol

Broad back on and straight away turding boundaries.

If Stokes manages to get away with it, I'd not mind him dropping out.

Broads quickly reaching the end of his career imo. He's only had the one five for since destroying South Africa at their place.

If Woakes can show some consistency again I'd really want him opening the bowling.

Ashwin WAG

Hope he gets to fifty here

 

[vcs]

Yeah Broad has dropped off big time recently. Had a pretty awful Ashes as well on pitches more suited to his style of bowling than Anderson's.

Good ball there though, all over for India as far as our hopes for this series are concerned.

 

[91Jmay]

Finally Broad comes to party.

Jimmy wrap them up please!

 

[cnerd123]

Ashwins going to be stranded not out before he can get to his fifty isn't he

 

[cnerd123]

Nvm

All out for < 100 in under a session. Geez. Good toss to win for England that.

He's out like 5 mins ago

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

He's out like 5 mins ago

It takes time for ***** to process

in hindsight, collapsing to Lakmal and Gamage on day 1 of that SL test should've made it obvious truly how bad this lineup is against lateral movement.

 

[vcs]

Sometimes I think we should just send tailenders up the order to clout a few. Trying to survive in these conditions against this quality of bowling is a thankless task.

Broad 1-37
Rest 8-70

Several people did predict we'd get rekt in England when that happened tbf. I can't remember who but I remember liking the posts.

Good runs by Shami.
