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

[Burner]

Maybe it's just me but I don't see the edge. Seen the replays multiple times as well.

 

[artvandalay]

The pitch has meant a lot of pies have been served up by the spinners oddly enough, lots of short and wide pies and innocuous deliveries on the pads.

Clean deviation from the front on angle, no?

 

[Spark]

Clean deviation from the front on angle, no?

Yeah, very clear deviation. Kind of baffled that people could honestly say otherwise.

 

[Burner]

Optical illusion maybe. Thought the umpire was never going to give it myself.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not sure why people are writing this one off.

The way we bowled today has a lot to do with it. Worst we have bowled all series.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Vijay WAFG. Never doubted him.

 

[Groundking]

Y'all are being a bit harsh on Anderson considering he's only just come back from injury, and these pitches have been supremely spin friendly.

Never said anything bad about him at all. Was a post about how I wanted him to do well, being his last tour here.

It was tongue in cheek. He's bowled fine.

I've not been able to see any of this match, but having read a little, it seems as if India have just murdered us in the evening sessions again. Some sort of summary of the evening sessions in this series would make grim reading for England.

There was a piece on Cricinfo about just that

 

[Shri]

Maybe that's the thing he read.

 

[hazsa19]

No, just the BBC sport end of day summaries. I've finished for the weekend now so I can fully immerse myself in the misery of watching England lose this Test Match having posted 400 first dig.

 

[listento_me]

Looks like it will be a draw unless the English batters collapse second innings.

 

[91Jmay]

Still think we are in game. Can bowl them out for roughly equal score than get 250 lead.

 

[Bijed]

You speak as if such a collapse is unlikely...

 

[srbhkshk]

It will not be a draw, when this pitch goes it will go really fast. The last 2 innings combined will produce about 350 runs probably.
If India manage a lead of 50, it's an equal game otherwise they'll have to do really well in the third innings to have any hopes.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ravi Ashwin is not only a top spinner he is one of the best ones on Gogglebox.

 

[honestbharani]

So did Ashwin and Jadeja get more out of the wicket than Adil and Moeen, or did the pitch flatten out?

Its the typical Indian pitch. Flat when we bat, bunsen turner when we bowl.

"Why can't you do what no one else can do either?"



His last series was pretty nice tbh.

Yeah.. nice enough for a lifetime, I would say.

Y'all are being a bit harsh on Anderson considering he's only just come back from injury, and these pitches have been supremely spin friendly.

yeah, right...... Man I just wish England get an actual bunsen or at least a big turner in Chennai. Got great wickets, the best any touring side have gotten in recent years, won 3 tosses and still complain the pitches were spin friendly.
