*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Pothas]

Completely different game when Gill is on strike

 

[Spark]

Every ball bowled by a spinner has some overspin which would make it dip a fraction more (even on the path after the bounce on the way down) than any ball bowled by a pacer right?.

Oh sure but I mean the amount of research and the complexity of systems and the amount of cameras you'd have to dedicate to that alone would be... well, a lot.

No denying that. Get those fake "revs on ball" stats they show sometimes to make up some overspin numbers and include it in the drs model imo.

Unless you bowl him a full toss.

 

[Shri]

gill won't score if you are a spinner and land it in the pitch. rehan just let him hit a 4

Wonder if there's a way to have a spinners Hawkeye model and pacers Hawkeye.

It wouldn't just be that though, it'd be the orientation of the seam and arguably even the age of the ball/brand of the ball that makes a difference.

Nah, if it means spinners miss out on wickets then good

 

[_Ed_]

Gill's faced 43 of the last 60 balls - a shame, because Jaiswal could easily have got to his century by stumps if he'd had a bit more strike.

 

[Molehill]

Got a feeling that day will sum up the tour. Indian spinners managing to take wickets for an under par score, English spinners getting taken to the cleaners.

An enjoyable day's play, even if it felt like watching a ritual slaughter.

I was joking and hope you are too

Still can't get over the fact that they couldn't persuade Dawson to play. As Leach has shown, if you're accurate, you will contain or trouble the batters.

Don't think it was under par, per se. Just the difference in having good quality spinners and us not being good enough to play high quality spin.

Hopefully the myth Gill misses out again

If he can't kick start a career against this attack he is never going to make it.

'India in front but England scrapping' seems a generous assessment on Cricinfo.

We don't really know if they even tried.

I don't even think they asked him did they? I mean he pretty much said he said no.

Should have played Ashes and this. No doubt about it, don't blame him for his stance.

yea dawson would've made a world of difference. i wonder if eng will persist with 2 seamers from now on for the rest of the series
