*Official* India Tour of England 2018

Appalling shot. No swing and nothing off the pitch, just terrible.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rubbish from Rahane.

Kohli looks in pain.

Kohli looks in pain.

No wonder his back has given up carrying the rest of the line up.

 

[StephenZA]

Pujara is so one of my favourite batsmen.... everything I like in a Test cricketer.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli looks in pain.

Back hurting from carrying a huge pile of trash obviously.

Edit: I see this joke has already been made

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Seriously though at least if he gets out today or it ends today then he has 6 days to rest get treated and ready for the next test. Seems daft starting a test on a Saturday.

Scheduling in this series has been hilariously stupid. A Wednesday start and now a Saturday start.

 

[Borges]

The way the first two tests have gone, a Saturday start is a great idea.

 

[91Jmay]

Broad looking dangerous now - especially as variable bounce a real thing.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

what a nut

 

[fredfertang]

Wow - far too good for this edition of Pujara I'm afraid

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pujara can get his customary 21(127) if he doesn't run himself out

Close enough

 

[ImpatientLime]

god damn broad holding back woakes

 

[91Jmay]

Great ball, Pujara no chance with how he plants the foot. Always a major bowled candidate.

 

[Spark]

i've never seen a player look so consistently shotless in overseas conditions as pujara

 

[Top_Cat]

Good bit of bowling from Broad, the England attack as a whole were setting him up for that exact ball all afternoon. Pujara’s defence really in a mess at the moment.

 

[Howe_zat]

Perhaps this IS peak Anderson

This is his second calender year (so far) where he's averaging sub 20, something he didn't manage to do during his peak.

I think it is. His last three home summers have seen him average 15, 14 and 14.

Yeah and then still get castled, all that blocking and still can’t keep them out. Weird for a bloke averaging 50.

 

[Top_Cat]

Curran’s MO makes him the most likely of the new generation to be a Lord’s specialist.
