[OverratedSanity]

Yeah we're screwed now.

 

[Spark]

Wow where has that come from

 

[silentstriker]

This is brutal. I’m afraid and I hate everyone.

 

[GotSpin]

Lets goooooooo

 

[sayon basak]

Imran tier all rounder goes.

[Burgey]

Hmm. I hope he can get a bit of his old groove back before England comes here.

One thing that slightly puzzles me, is I've noticed his action's gotten much more chest on. Has neither he nor anyone else in the team set up noticed, or is it simply something he feels he can get back at his age?

Yeah I’m not sure why it’s changed. You’d think it can’t be his calf, that’s over 18 months ago and is a soft tissue injury

 

[King Kane]

Momentum has swung again, India will be battling to hang on for a draw now, they need Reddy to step up again.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Captain Obvious: "These next two wickets are massive".

 

[Shri]

That's an excellent ball from Boland.

not really. could have been left on line by a set batter

 

[Prince EWS]

Sundar at 8 is the most wrong one wtf

He's saying they should be batting lower, if anything he should be batting 3.

 

[vicleggie]

Save us again Nitish. Bat all day son

 

[SkyBlue]

Asking for Reddy and Sundar to do it all over again is asking a bit too much

 

[Kraken]

Bring the deep point up for Jaiswal imo. Let him try and get 4, plenty to play with

 

[Shri]

pant's dismissal looking more and more awful with ever passing minute

 

[silentstriker]

Aside from dropping Rohit and Kohli, also drop Pant. Get Jurel, Sarfaraz and Paddikal in next game.

I actually think you want him playing the shot though

I could go back through old footage to see if it's a sudden change or gradual since 2019, but it confuses me why an unrelated injury would do it. Maybe it's trying to put less strain on his leg.

He's definitely spun the ball less over the past several years and took ages to get his mojo back from his 2019 finger injury. But this is the first series where he's really looked toothless.

You're either joking or stupid or halba

 

[morgieb]

Those golden arm part-timers are worth their weight in gold. India might not have been too far away from completely killing off the game.

Still far from home but the pendulum has swung a lot and India really cannot afford another wicket until the second new ball.

 

[subshakerz]

Game on.
