*Official* 2nd Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 13 - 17 Feb 2021

I mean the reason we're talking about this at all is because of the universal line taken by English cricket journos. Literally just before I saw this post I also saw that Simon Hughes wants India to be docked WTC points.

I wonder what George "Ben Stokes is a hero for almost murdering a guy outside a nightclub because of words" Dobell thinks

 

[Burgey]

Probably worth putting Burgey back on ignore till this tour is over.

We're only in Day 2. Let's bat out all of Day 3 and half of Day 4 before declaring plz. Hopefully break one of the quicks before the D/N test.

Thers so much time in the game there isn’t any need to contemplate a declaration for nearly two days

 

[honestbharani]

Yep. Have no idea what the day night match will actually be like.

I mean most people had us losing 4-0 anyway.

Pitch will have to be reasonably green due to the pink ball issues. But then again, we have a good seam attack now.

Irrefutable evidence that foakes isnt as good as Pant

 

[ankitj]

Pant would have never missed that stumping chance

 

[Spikey]

no they have been surprisingly great in match threads

(must be gimh's absence)

its your lot who are stinking this up

Somerset fans? It's too early for Dan's 15 minutes for the day

If you put someone on ignore, do they get to avoid reading your posts as well? If so, can you please do it ASAP

 

[flibbertyjibber]

How many are actually moaning about the pitch (lets ignore Burgey for a second) happens all the time and we always get more moaning about the moaning than the actual moaning.

We know India are good...

I expected a pitch like this last week to be honest. Maybe didn't expect the surface to be puffing up so much so early but I expect the next 2 tracks to be similar to this. What that means in the day/night match I have no clue. Could be fun if it turns loads early then swings round corners under lights.

 

[Gnske]

Buttler being sorely missed here.

 

[Spikey]

Much more whinging from the Australian contingent when it comes to posters though.

I said the English, not English posters. So the Journos and the Michael Vaughans

Wait, you think I’m watching? I’ve got the tennis on. Wouldn’t even know how it’s playing. Was out at lunch earlier so haven’t seen a ball bowled.

 

[Burgey]

Ask TJB

Who?

and then prepare an actual turner

I feel like the ravens have just left the Tower of London.

Vaughan moans whatever is happening so ignore him.

His whining about the umpiring yesterday was gold. I mean, it was shameful at best, the umpiring and yet I almost wanted to take the umpire's side.

 

[Pup Clarke]

If Ashwin was bowling to Burgey in the subcontinent I wonder what his plan would be to negate the turn/bounce? TOTAB at the non-strikers end of course

 

[Shri]

Pant would have never missed that stumping chance

no he'd fall on his head and give the gloves off to saha if it turns that much

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah I dont think watching would've improved your chances of knowing how its playing
