*Official* India Tour of England 2018

Jimmy pressures Curran into taking two when he didn't even know when the ball was. The farmee shouldn't tell the farmer how to suck eggs.

How to what?

 

[Daemon]

He's not going to slag off his teammate to the press.

What a dumb post. That's what Pujara is supposed to say to the media. Hardly going to come out and say he bowled rubbish. And nor should he.

Fairly certain they genuinely believe it, impossible to tell of course.

They've got plenty of form on this sort of thing.

Root and Stokes wickets were total gifts, we'd be completely out of it without those.

 

[James90]

Teaching your grandmother how to suck eggs.

Anderson shouldn't be telling Curran how to farm the strike. Curran probably knows more about farming the strike than Anderson does, given their respective batting positions.

 

[S.Kennedy]

I have a sneaky feeling India, or should I say Kohli, might get over the line here.

 

[Bahnz]

Really hoping for an India win. Just flew into London for a couple weeks, and would love to go along to the Oval with the series on the line.

 

[harsh.ag]

Another aspect in which England have clearly had a higher ceiling than India this series is that they have had to do dumb things to keep India in the game. Both of Root's run outs. The dropped catches. Picking Rashid over Moeen. Dropping Curran.

India have needed those screw ups to get close to England.

 

[fredfertang]

I think that's out

 

[Daemon]

Man wtf. That's just unlucky.

 

[ankitj]

No uneven bounce now please

 

[slippy888]

Rahul looks indias Ramprakash at test level has the talent but only will average 20 plus in his career

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well if that variable bounce continues, we might lose by a hundred

 

[Niall]

India will do well to get to 200.

 

[Daemon]

Broad looks so fired up. Test cricket is awesome.

 

[Borges]

Kept low; somewhat like the one that got Jennings. I suspect that there would be more of these on the day five pitch.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Kept low; somewhat like the one that got Jennings. I suspect that there would be more of these on the day five pitch.

[Daemon]

On second look should he have been forward to that? Took a half step then jumped back. Probably full enough to be on the front foot.

 

[slippy888]

If he played forward rahul could have dead batted defended that ball

 

[Fuller Pilch]

With that Broad has gone ahead of Herath and drawn level with Hadlee.

 

[Teja.]

Really important for Pujara to bat out the new ball, even moreso with the uneven bounce.
