*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[91Jmay]

Curran looks superb here. Threatening both edges consistently, and his pace is not to bad.

Rain soon though and they'll be off. We should have time to force a result though.

Has England lost a test series at home under Bayliss?

Given the systematic flaws within county cricket and the subsequent holes in the national team - it is hard to see how he has not done a good job?

No but we've lost a fair amount of home Tests. He's been good in white ball but Tests he barely seems to have changed anything. Took over a team with a weak batting line up reliant on Anderson/Broad for wickets and now has a team with a weak battling line up reliant on Anderson for wickets.

Basically ineffectual.

Bairstow being up to CUrran is a silly move tbh.

There seemed to be strong foundations to build strong white ball teams though, if players found form in CC, they were usually picked, most just weren't up to it.

Christ Kohli’s use of DRS is obnoxious.

Bayliss doesn't watch CC so he has literally 0 selection input other than occasionally championing a player because he likes their character (like Liam Dawson).He has just had no strategic impact on England since he joined, we haven't gotten massively worst in Tests but not really gotten better either.

So I moved out ttoday to the city. Haymarket. Got drunk woth my bro for one last tomd instead od watching this sad attempt at resistance

Burgers should text me a food pub to waych the test sries in the citeh.

I pressed backspace on the keyboard to spell citeh instead of city because it might make me look more buZzed than i already am.*

He seemed quite confident he didn't hit it. Hmm.

Broad finally doing Broad stuff again finally.

Are you deunk too?

Don’t buy that, honestly. His hands were half-way up as the umpire gave him because he knew it was going to be given. Was calling for the review no matter what.

 

[Groundking]

I guess Broad saw us bitching about him the other day

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Broad found his mojo

I mean he’s their only bat so can understand it from that perspective.

 

[trundler]

Once again, Indian batsmen overseas have successfully brought a struggling bowler back to form.

66-6 its daemon's fault

It beyond disgrace this batting displays from India.
