Bumrah has been immense but Akash has been excellent too. Hard to believe he has been wicketless this innings. Bowled a lot better in the first innings too than his figures suggest.

Why isn't this **** wearing all of the protective guards?

 

[silentstriker]

Ominous signs for India there.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What's the diagnosis?

You don't want to be putting protective gear over your wrist, if it touches the gloves it becomes part of the glove

Oh so Mr Physio will come out and count all Marnus's fingers and wiggle them. But where was he with all these moves when he copped all those balls in the groin?

I am aware of this. I harkened back to the days of when batsmen of good ilk were clad like knights.

Sanath was the knight

Bumrah 1-23

The commentator just explained the concept of a bowling average to a Test Match crowd?

Some areas in the pitch appear to be wearing away quite considerably.

I don't believe that? All arm guards likely touch the glove wrist band but I've never seen someone given out when it hits the armguard. Imagine if it hit just below the elbow and was given out...no chance as if so no-one would ever wear one

It’s out if the arm guard is touching the gloves wrist band at the time when the ball hits

 

[Skyliner]

Kohli has handed the captaincy back to Rohit.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Put two cover fielders in there

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That is a sign of the pitch starting to behave a little bit wild

So true

 

[Daemon]

Pant needs to stand up to the stumps here imo

 

[silentstriker]

Not sure if Reddy serves a purpose here. I’d bowl one of the spinners.
