*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham - Aug 4-8 - 2021

[honestbharani]

Have come to look forward to a Rohit 30-50 innings

Does his job and ****s off

When you have only 6 batsmen, that is NOT his job. His job is to score more runs, especially given our tail.


But Rohit is a compulsive guy with those pulls and hooks. Gotta take the good with the bad. He is just wasting some of his best form getting 30s in SENA when he can be getting 100s. That is the annoying part.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Guy has no ruthlessness. Genius settling for mediocrity. Sad.

Fancy complaining about a batsman only getting thirties. At least it's comfortably into double figures.

That's basically what Dom Sibley does too.

That's basically what Dom Sibley does too.

And what our (Aus) openers and lower order and most of the rest England's bats don't.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not very encouraging from Pujara. He's totally lost his old ability to play late, he made up his mind to leave that almost before it left robinson's hand.

 

[Apex Predator]

This is going to be last test series for Pujara. He looks done

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's basically what Dom Sibley does too.

Tbf, we have to remember Rohit absolutely kills it in home conditions. A mid 30s average contribution overseas is perfectly acceptable in that context imo. Also, his 30s these days seem to atleast be80-90 balls instead of 40-50. Not entirely useless.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Savvy leave by Pujara.

 

[Nintendo]

Robinson is test class in these conditions, suitable replacement for broad/anderson.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah we need to gvie Vihari a go or hell maybe consider Sundar as a middle order bat. Pujara looks shot... plays everything from the crease.

 

[Spark]

Hahahahahaha

Kohli

No jennings to drop you this time bud

 

[Spark]

Oh my days is that funny

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh my days is that funny

It looked like it was on 6th stump didnt it

 

[Starfighter]

God I love Anderson sometimes.

 

[Spark]

It looked like it was on 6th stump didnt it

It was the stockest of stock balls

 

[fredfertang]

At least India can take consolation from the fact they have avoided the follow on

 

[honestbharani]

Pujara's was a great delivery but its a poor shot from Virat for a first ball. But Anderson has kinda wasted the over since then with the leg side stuff. Rahane is the shakiest starter in the side.
