So good

 

[StephenZA]

My view is either England 400+ or a Siraj 5fer.

What are tonight’s lottery numbers?

 

[Uppercut]

Is this India’s best pace attack ever or have they had an even better combination of bowlers lately?

 

[cnerd123]

Lots of h00p but openers played well. Hopefully we nick some out here early

2 wickets first over after the break, that'll do

Had a feeling Hameed at 3 would be too much of a mental change for him. Sibley should have been 3. Hameed 2. They need to change it around second innings.

Nah this is definitely it. No question at all.

Yes.

For pace? I think this has to be the best combo. I'm a fan of Bhuvi for English conditions but I think on performance, hard to say anything bad about the current pace combo.

An absolute scandal that Siraj did not play the world test final.

I remember when Indian fans on CW hyped their mediocre pace attack on every tour. Where’s all that noise these days? All I’m hearing this time is that my filthy casual impression of Kohli and Pujara is wrong and they’re actually completely ****ing hopeless.

NZ lucky winners all-around. Wait till they come to India.

By miles. Overall lineup is even better with Ashwin playing. I think there were times in 2017 especially at home when Umesh was operating at seriously high quality too.

Root on another rescue mission…

 

[Lillian Thomson]

England have broken the record for the most ducks by the Top 3 in a calendar year.............and it's only August.

 

[Preed]

Surely we can find some top 3 batters even if they are 20/ 20 players.Surely Malan is better than the current liabilities.Sibley is strokeless and puts pressure on the rest of the team.I would rather have a dasher because he could not be worse than this shower.We also need to question the manager who is now chief selector and does not have a clue.The obsession with smash it cricket is affecting the proper game

 

[sledger]

Hameed's wicket just looked like someone caught in the headlights. Bloke no doubt extremely nervous. Always think there's probably nothing much worse than coming back into a side after an absence of a few years, with a pretty mediocre average/record, called up as a direct replacement for someone who has been dropped after a few failures, facing a great bowling attack in non-ideal batting conditions. Pressure pretty huge.

Sibley's wicket just garbage though. Horrible.

Umesh was great in the warm up game on this tour as well. Just riches all around

 

[cnerd123]

Looks like he regretted that review as soon as he took it, and he's blamed Pant too

Amateur hour here.
