Get ****ed it’s been my gimmick forever and anyway Chris will still be expecting a ten wicket win

 

[Aidan11]

Will Joe Root be able to bat?

 

[Aidan11]

Soft dismissal.

 

[GIMH]

Bharat really not very impressive. Think we will be batting before close.

Someone catch me up on what’s happened to Root?

 

[GIMH]

I know 372 is nearly always enough but what are these guys thinking

 

[Aidan11]

Bharat really not very impressive. Think we will be batting before close.

Hurt his finger fielding a ball in the slips.

 

[ankitj]

BOOM or bust.

 

[Aidan11]

Crawley drops a sitter.

 

[Aidan11]

Get Jimmy on to blast them out.

 

[mackembhoy]

Crawley drops a sitter.

That's the norm from him.

Tricked everyone in the Ashes he could actually field in the slips.

He's too gangly doesn't have the reactions needed.

 

[Aidan11]

That missed the stumps by a whisker.

 

[GIMH]

Tom Hartley averages like 11 on Sundays

Tom Hartley averages like 11 on Sundays

Would you say he's already proved himself to be the best 2nd innings spin bowler ever?

Gotta be in the conversation now right?

Yes

according to statsguru only 5 teams have scored 300+ batting last in India, and only ONE has won being the hosts against India in 2008

also interesting to see the run rates, India 1st innings around 3.5, England 1st innings around 4.5 and India around 3.25 this innings, slowly slowly catchy monkey, England quickly quickly run into troublee

 

[Owzat]

oh and only 9 successful chases of 371+ which goes down to 6 for 390+ and 4 for 400+, England may yet do enough to avoid the latter two but 384 ahead now and getting closer and closer

 

[Aidan11]

They're just mocking us now.

Don't think England scoring fast was their undoing (cf. the whole last two years of England cricket). More like quickly, quickly ...is probably a good idea while Bumrah is bowling unplayable deliveries and wrecking stuff.
