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

So india win by DRS?

I think we'd be the luckier side to escape with a draw, especially post first innings. But India have played better overall so they should be up.

But I'm not sure these things translate that neatly.

Agreed, they don't. However, you do need good enough players to turn it around, and I don't think that England have enough of those. Obviously it's not impossible for England to win at Lord's, but India would need to do very badly with the bat in both innings for England's scores to be winning ones.

It’s days like this I rue being a cricket fan.

 

[Shri]

i can now understand how anderson has managed to play for so long

 

[sunilz]

Panauti's bad luck continues. ?

 

[Daemon]

This is completely ****ed. It's not just the chance at a rare win in England but it's robbed everyone of a great day of cricket. Why the **** do I even watch this sport.

Root has 1000 and a bit runs this year with 7 tests left, if he beats Clarke's 1788 by the end if the year whos would have been the better effort?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So do they get the same match fee for 3 days of work instead of 5?

 

[OverratedSanity]

I think we'd have lost anyway but was looking forward to watching it doing some quality wrist slitting ffs .

 

[cnerd123]

Boooooooo

Need to schedule a reserve day for every Test in England moving forward. They can definitely afford it and they absolutely need it.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

England (rain) triumphs once again.

TBF, rain in an England "summer test" is the highest quality wrist slitting for any cricket fan.

Sad about this. But good lessons moving forward and a tricky decision about whether to retain Thakur or not. 4/78 are decent returns with the ball for a fourth seamer - especially considering it was three frontline batsman and Ollie.

It really depends on the forecast and the pitch. You live there, right? Tell us what the forecast is like and what the weather has been like?

 

[GIMH]

India get away with it then. Shame

Root - much harder to score runs in this era.

It's incredibly frustrating to know that we had the option of starting early on what, 2, maybe 3 days, and didnt. Not saying that hour or two would have forced a result, more painful that we established protocols for these types of situations then don't use them.
