*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Oh my god what is that war crime on Ashwin's head.

Never thought that I would call Ashwin a “chapri”.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pope's going to bat pad one to silly mid wicket off Ashwin imo. Never looks balanced when trying to work one to the on side.

 

[honestbharani]

Taking out the covers to tempt a drive is so dumb here because he's going to drive regardless

Rohit is #spooked already by Bazball?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Can see most lbws being reviewed as that was nearly bouncing over the top and Duckett wasn't hit that high up.

55-1 I'd have taken that at toss.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Can see most lbws being reviewed as that was nearly bouncing over the top and Duckett wasn't hit that high up.

He had a long stride tbf. Then again, its duckett so that just means a foot or so.

 

[honestbharani]

Very poor from Bharat there. Just take the stumping and appeal for it so you get a free caught behind review.

They changed the rules so that it cant be done now, no matter how much Carey asks for it.

 

[Daemon]

Oh my god what is that war crime on Ashwin's head.

He asked for the heinrich himmler cut

 

[Aidan11]

Decent start.

 

[honestbharani]

KP with the usual generic advice for the captain to not have fielders deep and be aggressive etc.

Nothing wrong with having a defensive field against this type of cricket. Don't give them value for their shots.

If they're pinching singles, then fine bring the guy up.

Nah, I agree with KP in terms of his point but I think its very common for our spinners to start with more defensive fields and then get more attacking once they feel they have found their rhythm.

Even Warne used to be like that FFS.

 

[Daemon]

Rohit is #spooked already by Bazball?

Don't think he was spooked, it seemed like it was part of a plan. They packed the cordon and slipped in a wide sucker ball ever so often but just kept getting driven.

 

[Arachnodouche]

The revs on Ashwin's brain in these early exchanges. Slow down ffs

 

[Aidan11]

His Holiness hasn't lasted long.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

The reverse sweep is and always will be a low percentage show-off shot compared to any other shot, and nothing can change my mind on thiat.

 

[Aidan11]

Collapse arriving in 5...4...3...2...1...

 

[OverratedSanity]

That was a pretty dreadful innings

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Pope looked a complete nervous wreck. Was never going to stay long. Looked a clear catch

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Excellent catch from Rohit

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

It's going to be a long series for Pope with that technique against spin

 

[Aidan11]

Hope Root can steady us.

 

[Daemon]

Great catch by the Indian Inzi
