*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Aidan11]

I suppose any hope of us scoring 400 is a tad optimistic now.

 

[White Ball]

Looks a good cricket wicket something in it for batsmen who apply themselves and the bowlers. Root was always too good for this Bazball nonsense and is playing the way we all know he can

Maybe so but 300 isn't outside the realm as long as these two don't do anything silly. They look good atm.

Siraj so useless. Bowled trash, misfielded at least twice already. He's getting rested again for the fifth Test.

 

[R!TTER]

Patidar's such a low energy guy!

Such a pessimist.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Root at 40 and not so much as a glimpse of a reverse paddle sweep.

What the **** is this bull****!? I didn't pay $25 this month to watch Jizzball.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Is the crowd noise a recording? There's barely anyone there.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Root needs to start bazballing imo. Need to entertain to save test cricket.

 

[Aidan11]

India racing through their overs this session. Obviously keen to get the second new ball before tea.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Kuldeep replaces Deep. If only it was Arshdeep.



Or Throat.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good parrtnersjip from these two. Pitch somehow seems to have settled down after lunch. Maybe it was just one tiny crack that'll open up later in the game.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Need this partnership to double at least

 

[Aidan11]

Ha should have stopped that.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Repeat the last hour please boys.

Has it settled down or are we just seeing people bat sensibly?

To the surprise of no one, Root is quite tough to get out in these conditions when he bats like this.

 

[Aidan11]

50 partnership.

 

[White Ball]

Englands session this pitch isn’t the minefield that it was made out to be looks a great deck

 

[White Ball]

Think is we don’t want a normal Root, we want an even better Root, would love to see him attempting a reverse scoop to one just outside off stump off Deep

I suspect that shot has been put away unless he's got a ton or he's with the tail.

Probably more to do with the ball getting softer. New ball pitch.
