*Official* 3rd Test at the Sardar Patel Sports Complex, Ahmedabad, 24 - 28 Feb 2021

[Shri]

If he gets out now it will go down as one of his finest Test innings to date.

lmao

Good stuff, RIS.

Now go predict lottery winners today.

 

[Prince EWS]

I love how all the wickets have fallen to straight balls that bounced normally.

 

[Bahnz]

Look on the bright side England, you're on track to make twice as many runs as you managed on the first day of your last day-night test.

 

[Spark]

Real flashbacks to some of the worse 2010s England/Australia performances in the subcontinent (esp the UAE) with the number of batsmen missing straight balls here.

Sadly harder to predict than an Archer batting failure in an international.

 

[mackembhoy]

Archers useless with the bat. Needs to be at 11

 

[Ashwinashwath]

My predictions England all out for 120 or less. India makes 230. English second innings wrapped at about 170. India get those 60 giving away one wicket.

 

[Arachnodouche]

The zomato ad on hotstar where the guy is made to feel embarrassed for getting Indian food from home for 'oriental Wednesdays' has triggered me.

Let him eat his rice and dal ffs.

Any and all "days" at the workplace are the devil's creation.

 

[Prince EWS]

That Archer shot looks more awful every time they show a replay.

 

[GIMH]

7 down for less than 100 having won the toss.

you don't love to see it

 

[Prince EWS]

Can't bat them all at 11 unfortunately.

Archer's batting is a myth

Lol.. Swanneh telling the story of how the Indian players were playing West Indies and were gathered around a laptop watching the Stokes knock and cheering him on for the win while Rahane was bringing up his own 100 out there in the middle. They applauded that too, mind.

What is the story here?

Adani want to build a coal mine/power plant in Australia. It's become a bit of a cause celebre of the right and the left for differing reasons (left because they know it'll cause mass emissions when the world can least afford it, right because they think it'll give them a short term political boost in Queensland)

Australia collapsing to zulfiqar babar was the peak of this because I dont think he was even turning his regular off break.

Also, I know you know this, but a lot of casuals dont... playing straight balls is actually a huge part of batting v spin.

 

[Teja.]

Have only started watching in the last fifteen. Has this been:

1) A complete shitshow of basic mistakes on the part of England?
2) Pitch is demonic and it's only a bit below par performance?
3) Skill gap too much between Indian spinners and English batsmen?
