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

i know there isn't anyone better who is available but jesus it is so annoying watching moeen repeatedly drop short and wide.

Especially being a finger spinner. Some level of accuracy should be a basic requirement.

 

[harsh.ag]

Peach.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

About time, abysmal batting though.

"This pitch isn't really turning that much"

Riiiiiiight. You guys are idiots.

 

[Shri]

10% of the target erased. Silver linings.

 

[Contra]

loose shot that

 

[flibbertyjibber]

jammy bastard.

 

[honestbharani]

Classic offie dismissal there for Moeen. Rahul showing the negative side of being an attacking but loose opener. Just needs to get in better position to play his shots, for me. Can get tricky now for India. I do not see too much issues with the pitch but scoreboard pressure and good defensive bowling from their seamers can easily open one end up for England here.

 

[harsh.ag]

Little less casual please.

 

[Shri]

Don't panic you ****s.

Lulled him into a false sense of security, didn't he.

And us too, actually.

It is not spinning any more than Rajkot. The pace and bounce making it more difficult to just hang back and defend. But I keep saying it, if you get in, this is still a good pitch to bat on. Rahul is a spud in terms of playing on such tracks in his new avatar as an aggressive opener. He has not been doing it often enough to come off if the bowler is capable of bowling good balls and captain does a good job of setting fields that can tempt him to those shots.

Plus KL has to take some blame for the open stance.

Nah, this is flat out wrong. I agree it isn't unplayable or anything but there's clearly tons more help here than at rajkot.

Nah.. looks like you are unable to differentiate between spin and spin + bounce and pace. Which is what I said. Its spinning the same amount but when you add the bounce and pace its tougher to handle.

I'm not watching so if you guys can settle this ASAP I can know what to say on the podcast tomorrow

[OverratedSanity]

[artvandalay]

Living dangerously here. Vijay lucky to still be out there. Rahul's shot was loose as **** too.
