*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[KungFu_Kallis]

I'm guessing you're in your early Swann era. Just wait till you've done 20 Tests with him and been through all his 'funny' accents, boy does he become nauseating.

PS He blocked me on Twitter many years ago after I called him an 'attention seeking ****' for giving away spoilers in Breaking Bad!!

He sledged the **** out of Broad though. So he can be forgiven for other stuff. The sledges are so good I took notes to recall them later. Quite a funky friendship they must have.

• Broad is so precious he has a train line in Nottingham named after him
• Swann sympathised with Broad being hit for 6 sixes by Yuvraj by asking him why he didn't think of bowling a slow ball at any point
• Swann laughed a lot when Bumrah of all people hit Broad for the record 35 in a Test over (including the extras)
• Broad has allegedly never bought a drink for someone in his life. Even now he owns a pub and still charges his mates for drinks

England bowlers have done reasonably well as this pitch is pretty good

Their batters are at fault

Meh I don’t know if this is a 450-500 wicket.

 

[JavaHurricane]

England's fielding has gone to absolute pieces in this game. Hopefully this is a blip and not the start of a long-term trend.

 

[Burgey]

England been very competitive eh

 

[kevinw]

Can Wood get his average against India under 50?

Nothing wrong with the pitch , England batsman are an absolute disgrace, but the selectors will keep picking the same clowns in the summer

Its like when Lyon was left with 399 at the end of the Gabba test

He didn't even get given the chance to bowl to the tail with the new ball though did he? Poor Jimmy

Given the next Test is at Lord's, might be nice to reach 700 there anyway.

Shubman Gill being genderfluid would be the ultimate breaking news.

 

[mackembhoy]

Swanny is one of the most entertaining commentators ever. What a natural. I believe they call it the gift of the gab. Basically the anti KP/Knight.

Please tell me this is sarcasm???

Him KP and Vaughan need to be kept as far away from a microphone as possible.

Put them on an island with Manjreaker and they can fight it out for worst commentator. The survivor gets launched into the sun.

 

[chris.hinton]

This day was slightly better for England. Still a massive cluster****

still the Barmy army social media are tugging at stokes taking a wicket. Positive lol

 

[Burgey]

Given the next Test is at Lord's, might be nice to reach 700 there anyway.

Leave Jimmy out of Lord’s

 

[JavaHurricane]

Honestly, Jimmy should retire after this game, regardless of whether he gets the 700th. He's done.
