*Official* 1st Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 05 - 09 Feb 2021

[Arachnodouche]

In the service of humanity, I think all Test match broadcasts should have snippets from Headingley and The Gabba inserted at random intervals.

 

[Shri]

Terrible for all concerned.

i kinda agree with you that chennai is going to be disgusting until those two leave before going back to being the best place on earth

 

[Shri]

why does it weirdly feel like to me that we are still in with a chance here

 

[Burgey]

This lunch break seems to be dragging out for ages.

 

[Shri]

Spinners getting a wicket of the first ball of an innings:

Bert Vogler dismissed Tom Hayward SA v Eng Oval 1907

R Ashwin dismissed Rory Burns Ind v Eng Chennai 2020/21 *

Because of heroics at Sydney and Gabba.

 

[Teja.]

In case Root doesn't dangle the carrot and our only real option is to draw the game, I hope our openers don't bat in ODI mode and keep giving chances for effectively useless runs.

 

[Shri]

get sundar on

he's quicker and can hurry the batters

If England bat way to long, the IPL should give Kyle Mayers an IPL contract.

 

[Shri]

nadeem is ****ing useless

 

[Shri]

impact outside off i think

 

[Arachnodouche]

lol should've listened to Pant

 

[Burgey]

get bumrah on

he's quicker and can hurry the batters because he's an actual fast bowler and the ball is new

well, quite.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Sibley makes defensive batting look physically exhausting.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Enforcing the follow on ain't easy. But it was England's best chance to win, and there wouldn't be enough time for India to set a target and bowl England out anyway. Very conservative decision from Joe.

 

[GotSpin]

Theyve really dialed up the fake crowd noises

Mate you don't choose to bat last on a turning wicket. Insanity

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sibley looks like he could be very annoying this series, good solid batting

 

[Pothas]

Yeah genuinely confused that anyone would think it is a good idea.

The 4th innings we have seen recently has also seems to make people think that taking 10 wickets on the final day is now impossible.

Pant said impact was inline but it will miss.
