*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Aidan11]

Rahul tearing into Rehan.

India now in front and no sign of a collapse.

 

[Gnske]

Mason Cranes record is under threat if Hartley keeps bowling. bizarre that stokes prefers him to leach and root.

Bazball means you double down on your mistakes

 

[kevinw]

Surely you bowl Leach at one end and rotate the other until he's knackered?

 

[Aidan11]

India scoring quicker than we did.

We're even being out-bazzed.

 

[Aidan11]

Not out. Can't even catch a break here.

 

[Owzat]

India scoring quicker than we did.

We're even being out-bazzed.

"Wallsballs", after Dravid

although frankly it is what it always has been, "totalballs", all they are doing is attacking a lot more because they can't defend and making about what they might have anyway

 

[Owzat]

Quite clear from the first two overs of the session that England are now on top. The question is can India make it to tea or will Zak be batting again by then

only if he has an immediate transfer to India and they are allowed to bat him down the order 1st innings....


36 the lowest partnership of this innings, keeper and Ashwin to come, England will do well to keep the lead under 75

England's "strong position" (Duckett) is under pressure bigtime! why Tartley is bowling more than any other bowler is a mystery, perhaps England think they can snaffle wickets by Indian batsmen losing concentration whilst picking up their free runs (relatively free, bound to pick up wickets when getting scored off quickly)

 

[Gnske]

Enjoy getting Jadeja'd you idiots. He's posting a score here the screaming moron.

 

[Aidan11]

West Indies have taken more wickets than us this morning.

 

[Shri]

dom bess was a better bowler than hartley change my mind

 

[Aidan11]

I don't suppose there's any chance of rain.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Why can't we bowl more than one delivery in a row in a decent area? So frustrating

 

[kevinw]

dom bess was a better bowler than hartley change my mind

I'm amazed that a guy who doesn't spin it can't land it reasonably consistently. Rehan, I'll cut some slack to, but Hartley is not a FC bowler by any measure.

 

[MW1304]

Why can't we bowl more than one delivery in a row in a decent area? So frustrating

Because we have inexperienced, but also bad, spinners. It's just not going to happen.

Could get ugly now.

 

[MW1304]

Welp.

 

[capt_Luffy]

The bloke is anything but dependable..... Horrible way to throw your wicket on a bad delivery.

 

[social]

When does Sarfaraz debut as a Jenny Craig model?

 

[morgieb]

Even with Pant out surely India have someone better than Bharat? Looked well below standard when we visited there last year.

 

[Starfighter]

Come on India, stop being silly and put England out of the match.

 

[Starfighter]

but Hartley is not a FC bowler by any measure.

Which funnily enough is was his FC record shows, regardless of how tall he is.
