think this is all pollution tbh...

Not in Kanpur. But the stubble buring of the crops creates this haze at this time of the year.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ohhhh spinnnn

 

[thierry henry]

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself about the pitch, but feels like one where the seamers will be feeding on scraps. Openers playing and missing 5 or 6 times against the new ball without nicking one is a luxury we can't afford.

 

[Meridio]

Gill playing an angled bat defense way out in front of his body a few times here - sort of thing you can get away with on these kinds of pitches, but as soon as there's some bounce you're asking for trouble.

Ooh, spin for Ajaz.

 

[Athlai]

Ajaz starting pretty well

 

[thierry henry]

Preparing for a lot of commentator complaining about Ajaz bowling too slow, because this is pretty much the speed he bowls

 

[Meridio]

Ahh that looked very straight. He was a step down the pitch but I was reviewing that.

 

[thierry henry]

So that's two from that end that haven't bounced already

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jamieson bowling an immaculate length, but needs to work on the line...fine-tune it a bit.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

3 reds on that

 

[Meridio]

Yes I thought that was plum ffs

There we go.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Why would you think of referring that lmao

 

[Athlai]

Aaaaargh

 

[Athlai]

Yesss

 

[thierry henry]

Jamieson nicking off Agarwal well overdue there

 

[Meridio]

Well deserved by Jamieson, he's been excellent

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

nicking off

mods

Well called. It's so hard to judge how far down they are when they charge like that. Turned out Gill had barely shuffled his back leg out of the crease.

 

[duffer]

Jamieson dominating in Indian conditions would end a lot of us
