*Official* 3rd Test at the Sardar Patel Sports Complex, Ahmedabad, 24 - 28 Feb 2021

[Prince EWS]

not out for me

Could've cost England as many as 3 runs. You must be fuming.

TBF, almost all of the English fans here have been top notch in how they have reacted to the pitches.

if we had opened with spinners, this would have been 28 for 8

100 up! All stand up please.

Daily reminder that Ash is the best new ball bowler in the world.

 

[MW1304]

As annoying as the performance here is how we have fallen for the trap of expecting a pitch for the quicks.

I know it was relatively unknown but surely you plan for multiple scenarios instead of going all in on seam and no tail? Was begging for a situation like this.

Maybe not as annoying actually, since ten spinners couldn't rescue this batting cluster****.

 

[Shri]

are we going to ignore how pant has shelled a **** load of balls while collecting?

thankfully no edges but he'd have dropped as many as kakmal today if there had been any edges to him

 

[Arachnodouche]

Stuart Broad's bulked up? Dwarfing Patel who's a shade above six feet himself.

Will be interesting to see if Foakes has any problems. If he does then you can let Pant off a bit.

He's dropped one almost every over. Overcompensating for the bounce by jumping every time

 

[Pothas]

How have we only had 12 overs in this session and how have we still got two wickets left? Feels like this has been going on for hours.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wait I thought that was out? Why didn't they appeal?

 

[silentstriker]

I think this pitch might actually deteriorate. Unlike the last one. The England press (not the posters on here, all of whom have been great) should have waited until this Test to complain.

I mean, the Test has to actually last long enough for it to deteriorate.

Hard to complain about the pitch deteriorating too much if you bat first though.

I was not happy when kohli kept persisting with Ishant early on when Axar was bowling magic balls at the other end and Ishant himself was leaking runs both left and right.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

But what if we have to bat first and last on it?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Umpire got spooked by pant clearly.

 

[cnerd123]

Good review that
