*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[Niall]

Geez, it baffles me how Indian and English fans can both remain ****ing miserable when one side has a good day after the other ****s had a good day. In a race for biggest loser, you’d both come second. Harden up, watching a classic ****ing Test series here.

Do you seriously think India can chase anything over 160 or so on this pitch v Ali?

Its not over,but England are overwhelming favs for sure.

That 3rd test was very critical for some Indian players as they would have been dropped like Vijay unless there was improvement. Now that they have secured their place, they are back to normalcy.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why even drop the beard in the first place? The guy's amazing.

Well he was crap all last winter and at the start of the summer wasn't playing any cricket so you could hardly pick him. Picking Rashid over him was probably a mistake but Smith is a pillock who likes to pick on short game form for tests.

Pujara has to farm the strike big time for Bumrah. The dude is a walking wicket.

You think we can get to 160 with our line up?

 

[anaksr]

Fair to say, Ishant was far better than Pant, Hardik and Ashwin.

 

[cnerd123]

You think we can get to 160 with our line up?

Yes

 

[OverratedSanity]

Look if that's not a wide I don't know why the thing even exists for tests

At least we can put it down to losing the toss and having to field

Nasty old England, preparing these dustbowls and spinning teams out.

 

[OverratedSanity]

You think we can get to 160 with our line up?

Yes but you'll make sure to go 7 down for 60 first.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fair to say, Ishant was far better than Pant, Hardik and Ashwin.

Baffles me he never bats higher than the rest of the non batsmen as he is like Hoggard used to be, dour and dogged and sometimes turgid. You have to get him out more often than not instead of just waiting for the brain fart, he is ideal for a proper bat at the other end.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Still not Chandering it. WAG

 

[ajdude]

my heart will break if he's out here

 

[vcs]

Seamers deserve the credit for Pant's wicket TBH. Guy could barely lay bat on Stokes' and Anderson's overs, became desperate, and Moeen came in and got the tap-in.

 

[Niall]

I think the lower order depth will get them to a winnable score. India will probably go betting favs in the chase now and then, but you'd fancy Ali to get it done ultimately.

I am wrong more often than not though.

 

[ajdude]

he absolutely played a shot there

 

[cnerd123]

Bad review that

 

[ajdude]

pujara chandered it there, shoulda taken the single heh

 

[StephenZA]

Well done Pujara, great test batting.

What's new in the world of finger spin?
