*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Burgey]

Gill must be dropped if he fails to deliver in second innings

Man, I’m old enough to remember when Shubbie was the next batting messiah.

it was October 2023z

If England somehow win this they should consider asking King Charles to abdicate to become a climate action activist, and appointing Ollie Pope in his place.

This but unironically

Now he is IPL messiah.

England probably has enough against this batting line up

**** you gambhiring for

 

[capt_Luffy]

Bharat's keeping is so shoddy.

Saha is still a better keep and bat then this bloke

 

[RightArmMystery]

Cracking knock from Pope. Played Ashwin superbly.

 

[cnerd123]

Bharat's keeping is so shoddy.

I don't think any current gen keeper-bat will be able to match Saha or Dhoni's glovework. Pant will probably look shaky initially when he returns too.

This passage of play is where this team loses so many matches. They just let the game drift waiting for some piece of magic from someone to break it open. This is where the Kohli/Shastri leadership was much better.

 

[Gnske]

hahahaha like how do you let Pope score a ton against you hahaha

I knew this would happen as soon as he hit 30. Are Jadeja and Ashwin just washed up? Morons

 

[mackembhoy]

We will lose one in the last over before close and then be bowling by lunch tomorrow.

Let's be honest

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Pope now averages 48 after 16 Tests at #3. That's not a tiny sample size.

He's flawed but we should probably stop talking about dropping him for a while given how bad everyone England has tried since Trott has been there, and how much Root seems to dislike the position.

He is flawed in the same way Duckett is flawed as an opener but it works for him so why do we complain? They are the main reasons we have improved as it means Root isn't in at 30-2 every innings.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rohit really let's games drift away at times
Bumrah should've been brought back a few overs ago. These two right now look out of ideas.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nothing you can do about that.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Foakes

 

[morgieb]

Wow that kept low.

 

[mackembhoy]

We will lose one in the last over before close and then be bowling by lunch tomorrow.

Let's be honest

Ban me ****s sake

 

[cnerd123]

And there's that random bit of magic to break the partnership. Tho in that case it was just the pitch playing tricks.

To be real, had Bharat's batting being anything close to Pant, people wouldn't bitch so much. But the bloke is playing in place of much better batsmen (yes, even Kishan); then he should offer some quality keeping.
