*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[rparikh14]

Ali really not ideal at 3. Playing and missing at absolutely everything.

 

[Daemon]

As terrible as it is, it's not here to stay I'm afraid. Been too long and more and more people have started using it.

whoosh

 

[rparikh14]

Oh wait, is he out?

 

[S.Kennedy]

Ali is actually a number 3 - plays there for Worcs. It is England who've been playing him out of place over the years.

Looks like he is gone irrespective.

 

[rparikh14]

Yessss

 

[Daemon]

That's clean. Great catch too, KL's been superb.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahul can continue averaging 10 as long as he keeps taking every slip catch that comes his way.

 

[ankitj]

Gone. Good catching from Rahul. ATVG fielder.

 

[mr_mister]

Moeen is not a test number 3

 

[Borges]

Ali is a true and proper ATVG; that still doesn't mean that he can't ride his luck and do some significant damage occasionally.

I suppose that turned out to be masterly ghambhiringh!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well at least we are in front when we go 2 down, didn't expect to be.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

carried for mine, though the soft signal process is rather dubious as it is just about always solely influenced by the fielder reaction, rather than what the umpire does or doesn't see.

all a batsman has to do is stand there and it will be referred.

 

[Daemon]

Moeen is not a test number 3

Is anyone in England a test #3 though, r00t aside.

 

[ankitj]

Moeen is not a test number 3

They are saying on commentary that he bats #3 in county cricket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Root back at 4. Doesn;t really make a difference in practical terms since he's out there as early as ever but psychologically it matters to him I suppose. If he does get runs here, everyone will scream for him to stay at 4.

 

[Athlai]

Kohli is a dickhead

 

[Howsie]

Lost some respect for Root after this, very weak.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Root has been rubbish at three, and dislikes batting there, even though he often bats there for Yorkshire (which makes no sense whatsoever but regardless!).

 

[Hicheal Michael]

number 3 is for the proper bats, none of his hiding at 4 or 5 nonsense.

 

[ankitj]

Kohli is a dickhead

What did he do. I know he is, but..
