*Official* Afghanistan and Bangladesh tour of India 2018

Geez Gavaskar proposing free hits for no balls in Tests 'to make it exciting' and Harsha (?) saying he forgot that a ball outside legstump isn't immediately wide in Tests

Tests aren't dying, they're being assissinated by those meant to protect it

Rashid vs Dhawan is basically ODI cricket happening with a Test match field.

Nice to see Mujeeb on now. I've got the impression he is very Medis-like, will be interested to see how he goes about a Test match spell

 

[cnerd123]

Mujeeb does actually look 17 tbf

Rashid needs to cool it with the variations. He's bowled about 1 legbreak so far and it was a fast yorker.

At this point I think he googly is his stock ball and the legbreak is the variation

Dhawan single handedly bursting the hype here

Give Rashid a break and bring him back on against Rahane or smth.

 

[Daemon]

****ing hell Dhawan wac. Brutal stuff.

 

[cnerd123]

Oooh this is a good review

 

[OverratedSanity]

Looks out

 

[cnerd123]

Great decision from the umpire.

 

[OverratedSanity]

****. Didn't expect it to go over

 

[Daemon]

That looked plumb

I'd definitely expect him to give Rahane a lot of trouble considering how shaky he looked last year against SL's spinners at home.

Forget Rahane I think if he could just get a few balls at Vijay he'll be fine.

Ishant and Umesh is an uninspiring new ball pairing. Has Shami still got that controversy hanging over his head?

Didn't pass the fitness test.

This is like Rashid coming up against prime Sehwag in India

 

[garylyon]

Dhawan shoulda walked

 

[garylyon]

Mujeeb and Rashid with more expensive spells in this test than they would normally have in a T20 match. Brutal from Dhawan

 

[Daemon]

dhawan is such a dickhead

 

[TheJediBrah]

These guys are more expensive in Tests than they are in T20s ffs

Hype train demolished
