*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Croadymeister]

India are atleast 100 runs short of where they should've been given the flat pitch and benign conditions.

Yes but they will get more turn with their spinners and we have a few batsmen who just get starts

 

[Spark]

Odd to put up 400 and think "wow, that wasn't really a great team batting display at all" but it's happened twice in two games now.

EDIT: Well, close to 400.

 

[Gnske]

He is going to be worthless. He has nothing, just bowls medium pacers like munaf patel.

Bingo. I think he's in the lower 20 percentile after that effort. Management will have to put him on a program

 

[honestbharani]

It is 4 runs below par, so basically par IMO. But given our bowling and their batting, wont be hopeful of a lead here. This game was done with our brain dead selections and then some of the brain dead batting yesterday and the braindead shot from Jaiswal today.

At least they won the toss this time, definitely decreases the chances of them really tasting the sloppy first innings dismissals.

Yea India well get more turn but on day 3 and not on day 2. By the time they get to day 3, this total would have been hunt down.

 

[Croadymeister]

This feels like a very underwhelming total

Would never see just short of 400 as underwhelming

Summed up nicely

In India even 400 can be underwhelming in the first innings.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Can’t see India winning this series now

Sometimes I wonder if there is a lack of mental filter for some of you.

 

[BazBall21]

Anderson looked more on top pretty much throughout there than he ever did in the summer.

 

[Daemon]

I used to think Ishant was a terrible batsman. Then we got Shami. Then Bumrah. Then Siraj. I thought Siraj was rock bottom. But now we have Mukesh.

That Prasidh guy bats like a donkey too. It's crazy.

It's less the score itself, which is okay I guess, and more the fact that it's hilariously dominated by a single innings. Nothing between 34 and... 209... isn't a great sign of a healthy batting lineup.

 

[Nas207]

whats the record in an innings for the largest discrepancy between highest scorer and next highest?

This is weird because it's something you think would improve with more money and broader professionalism in the game. It's kind of just not meant to be acceptable any more than you can rock up to international cricket without knowing which end of the stick to hold any more.

It wont be as bad if some of our batters would ****ing bowl too. We have Jaiswal but Rohit idiotically never gives him the ball. At least have him bowl in the ****ing JAMODIs and JAMT20Is we play all the time and he could have bowled a 4 over spell at least the last game when he kept rotating Jaddu, Axar for no worthwhile reason other than the fact they were 2 right handed batsmen and these two spun the ball away from them. The idiots who thought Rohit was at Dhoni level as a captain coz of his MI success finally tasting it was good though. All the guy knows is bloody matchups and has no plan B unless the backroom staff give him one.

Haha lol so true.
Considering morden day cricket, these fools are worst than venkatesh prasad!

I'm a Saffa so I've always backed Steyn in the Steyn vs Anderson debates over the years but Jimmy is a joy to watch as a purist. Such skill. Unbelievable at his age.

He reminds me so much of Ali Cook in the field: there was a captain who literally could not set a field unless the backroom staff had explicitly told him how to do it beforehand.
