*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[CarlsbergXpress]

Why make everyone come out tomorrow for no reason... just throw your wicket away you ****

300 up well batted lads ?

 

[anaksr]

Why this english tail wags so much

 

[trundler]

If desperation ever had a face

 

[MW1304]

Never thought we'd make 300, so fair play I guess.

 

[Borges]

Never thought we'd make 300, so fair play I guess.

And more importantly, to take it to the fifth day.

 

[MW1304]

And more importantly, to take it to the fifth day.

Nor that. Come on freak storm.

 

[harsh.ag]

Rashid a hero if it rains out tomorrow

 

[srbhkshk]

With Hardik getting his average below 30 with the ball, we have 4 bowlers averaging under 30 in this test (small sample size for all except Ashwin but whatever.) Is that a first in India test history?

(If Bhuvi was playing for Ishant - we would have 5 )

 

[vcs]

We need more from Ashwin in these kinds of situations. I guess he has the excuse that he wasn't fully fit. But I didn't see him bowling with any proper plan even to the tailenders, too much funky stuff.

He loses steam very quickly, was good at Edgbaston, ordinary at Lords & same here. Can't play him just on the hope that he'll be fit & more effective in the next 2 games.

Dropping Ashwin is an excellent idea, imo

 

[CasMcG24]

So who is turning up tomorrow to watch one ball... ?

 

[Top_Cat]

That is incredibly harsh. He faced some pretty good bowling there, it wasn't entirely pressure-free. He'll be constantly under pressure anyway because of his place in the team.

Also hit a good fifty against Pakistan in a pressured situation so clearly he can do it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan. It’s more his selection that’s pointless. Either make him keep or bat him higher.

If Bairstow’s dead for the next Test, it’s moot though anyway.

 

[S.Kennedy]

The Burnley Lara's first double century tomorrow then?

 

[rparikh14]

Feel Bumrah will have a very good test career. Can see him having a sub 25 bowling average

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So we been given the bums rush by Bumrah then.

Well done India on the win which will happen by 11.10 in the morning.

We need to have a long selection meeting, not just about who replaces Bairstow either.

(If Bhuvi was playing for Ishant - we would have 5 )

We could play a bowling line up of Ashwin/Jadeja/Kuldeep/Bumrah/Bhuvi with Bhuvi having the worst average (26.09).

 

[Gnske]

Good to see the absolute lack of third man or wide third man for most of yesterday.

Kohli's IQ grows.

 

[Starfighter]

Well done to Buttler. I didn't think he had it in him. I must say though, how may runs by him and Stokes were scoring edging past the slips into vacant third man? Captains just simply refuse to put someone there these days.

 

[morgieb]

Seems stupid they'd only go out there again when only one wicket is standing. I know why it is but it's still annoying for everyone.

Would be very funny if there was a freak storm now. Completely unfair, but still kinda lol.
