#ChennaiSoSpinnyDoes anyone important roll out the "subcontinent pitch doctoring" lines any more? Sounds like it's become more of an online thing and players don't really care that much about it.
They may say they don't but going by Rohit's presser they clearly careDoes anyone important roll out the "subcontinent pitch doctoring" lines any more? Sounds like it's become more of an online thing and players don't really care that much about it.
There was some weird **** going on with the pink ball in that too. England played 3 seamers thinking the day/night aspect would suit - It didn't. India didn't bowl a single over of seam in the second innings and the Axar darts took 11-70 in the match!! That game was just a farce and not a good advert for Test Cricket.The pitch for the third test on England’s last tour was truely terrible, as bad as the recent one in Cape Town. Root took 5-8 and the match finished in about 1.5 days of regular playing time. The other pitches on that tour took a good deal of spin but one must expect different conditions in different parts of the world and I don’t think that they were unfair.
Maybe don't read the pitch wrong next time.There was some weird **** going on with the pink ball in that too. England played 3 seamers thinking the day/night aspect would suit - It didn't.

I hate Talksport's cricket coverage- it's so poor, I probably won't bother listening.I see Talksport have got the commentary rights ahead of TMS. That will reduce the numbers listening in by a significant amount I'd imagine. It's so much fun hearing a bit of commentary squeezed in amongst gambling ads.....and truly terrible commentators too (FFS McKenna again).
BBC Sounds announced it's top listened to shows during the year, the Top 24 were TMS Ashes related.
Kimber is very good but even he can't make up for Andrew ****ing McKenna and Harmison.Tbf Talksport have Jarrod Kimber who offsets any downside
I think Batty is the worst (well after McKenna), his voice is so whiny.I hate Talksport's cricket coverage- it's so poor, I probably won't bother listening.
Andrew McKenna, Harmison, Gough
When the acceptable voice on the team is an Aussie you know you've got issues!!Tbf Talksport have Jarrod Kimber who offsets any downside
I don't think anyone quite knew what was going to happen, not sure anyone expected that either.Maybe don't read the pitch wrong next time.
I mean like Chris Broad, the match referee who applies very clear double standards? If this pitch was not dangerous, then I wonder what is.Does anyone important roll out the "subcontinent pitch doctoring" lines any more? Sounds like it's become more of an online thing and players don't really care that much about it.
Haha tbf I enjoy the work of Kimber, Adam Collins, Geoff Lemon etc. They are represented better in cricket media than they are on here where their leader @Burgey is a cantankerous oafI think Batty is the worst (well after McKenna), his voice is so whiny.

not sure in my following of England in India they ever latch on to sensible tactics and selections, seam to always be more quicks in the squad than likely to be used, plethora of spinners but horses for courses only really works if they're any good and batsmen without the ability or temperament to play spin - and sometimes just brainless, think they can just apply one approach eg play from crease, sweep everything or go down the track to everything.....There was some weird **** going on with the pink ball in that too.

And of course this time they've managed to not select the best spinner in the CC before they even head out there. It probably won't make any difference, but I can't help thinking Dawson would've been a handy all rounder.not sure in my following of England in India they ever latch on to sensible tactics and selections, seam to always be more quicks in the squad than likely to be used, plethora of spinners but horses for courses only really works if they're any good and batsmen without the ability or temperament to play spin - and sometimes just brainless, think they can just apply one approach eg play from crease, sweep everything or go down the track to everything.....
Same process every time - Sky will sign it up with about 3 days left when the price drops to an acceptable level.Series starts in 15 days. UK broadcaster still not announced.
Sure 16/17 and 20/21 were the same.
