*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Andyhere]

Crawley crawled at that and dropped the chance

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lucky

 

[honestbharani]

How many full tosses have we let be dot balls when batting this test. FFS.

 

[Andyhere]

Tough chance but got to grab everything to win this

Regulation catch at this level. Definitely not as easy as fool Rahul dropped and also axar.

Yeah should be taken I was probably generous, diving forward at slip is grim though

Shastri and Arun with Virat were just better than we gave them credit for, back then.

True but they were bad in a different way - made plenty of selection blunders

 

[Andyhere]

Poor captaincy. Wood bowled well, created a chance and he is taken off after just one over.

A lot of the Shastri love is hindsight and off the back of an extremely improbable win that's become romanticized (rightfully so). We weren't so enamored with the management before that tour.

 

[Aidan11]

England have put a decent total on to give them a chance but the wicket I'd doing nothing for bowlers.

Need a couple of quick wickets.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Probably been said already, but England are going to really miss Anderson's proven control and reverse swing in these conditions. Ridiculous non selection. Not hindsight either.

He deserves a ton of credit for it imo, but yeah, there were plenty of mistakes over the tenure, shouldnt all be washed away by one miracle. Picking Stuart Binny over Bhuvi in a test match was a thing that happened.

Yeah but we didn’t have a youtube series from an insider who went into the details before then lol

Most of this armchair analysis from us is nonsense anyways. Who knows what goes on in the nets and behind the scenes.

 

[Spark]

I reckon this is real close but it might be too close between ball bounce and impact for Hawkeye

 

[OverratedSanity]

That looks very straight

 

[Spark]

Might be doing too much actually

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hmm, maybe my eyes just suck

 

[Spark]

That's one hell of an umpiring decision if he's spotted that

 

[honestbharani]

True but they were bad in a different way - made plenty of selection blunders

Yeah but they had a bit of method to that madness, even if the method was bad or not right quite often. Right now there is no real policy or planning or control IMO. Not what I expected when Dravid is the coach tbf.

 

[Daemon]

What’s wrong with DRS this test? Taking ages

That's a difficult one for Hawkeye tbf. Understandable that it takes time to build the trajectory there
