***Official*** England in India 2016/17

Okay now I'm getting really impatient for wickets. England's batting depth is ridiculous and we don't have Shammi =(

Looking great for England here. Won an important toss, survived a couple of close calls, chance to really make this first innings count. Pitch looks placid.

Man I hate backfoot players so much on pitches that don't offer much. If this was a spinning pitch they would be dead ducks.

They are 32/0

Geez

This is how you all must have felt about my posting during BD vs England
It's nowhere near that level tbf. Not even Kiwaaahhs can compete with the level you set in that Eng/Bang thread ;)

This short ball nonsense is gonna screw us once again isn't it? So needless that last delivery. At least Shammi bowls it accurately

Why the **** is Bhuvi bowling short.

He's been pretty meh today.
I don't think he's done too badly, that last delivery aside, but I really would have liked for him to try and pitch full and swing it in from over the wicket, dunno why he started bowling around the wicket so early.

He's been consistently short of a length, don't think that's the right idea because it's giving them more time to adjust to what the ball is doing off the wicket.

Yeah I want him to pitch it full and straight when he's over the wicket, but when he's around then he needs to get the ball deviate from the pitch as there is little to no swing on offer even if he pitches it full. If he put a bit more body behind is bowling I think he can hurry the batsmen before they can adjust.
