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

[flibbertyjibber]

One of those special days when you have to just say that Kohli was just too good and accept the lad has played an absolute blinder.

 

[wpdavid]

Get to 75 lead and we should be able to win.

Yeah, you're really struggling otherwise.



Sorry mate, I've yet to master the ability of taking it graciously when we **** up in the grand style, even allowing for Kohli's master class.

Anderson got a 3 over spell with the new ball. Been about 70 overs since Stoke's bowled.

Cook can't cope without Broad can he. Has no one he can just throw the ball to.

 

[Burner]

Jayant is such a gun. Have to be grating the England players so much.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Stokes and Woakes have been crazy underbowled.

Hmm.. we bat last on this surface. Having said that, I'm just pleased we are in this position at least. How nice is it to have a good lower order?

Yeah but I can't see us scoring 250+ to give us a big enough total to defend.

 

[Contra]

glorious from Jayant. Just gotta bat out these last 15 minutes.

 

[srbhkshk]

Kohli averages above 50!!

 

[Scaly piscine]

So 3 not that difficult chances thrown away.

Hardly surprising we've just completely chucked the initiative away.

 

[Contra]

3 fielders on the leg side on the boundary to Kohli when a leg spinner is spinning it away from him.

 

[Contra]

that's at least 1 boundary an over in the last 4 overs since spinners came on. Cook really doesn't know how to handle all his bowling options does he? These guys have bowled 40+ overs each.

 

[vcs]

Jayant Yadav was just a complete left-field pick by the selectors, wasn't he? I know I don't follow FC cricket much, but I had barely heard of him at all before he got selected. Was he in the picture at all? Got to give the selectors a lot of credit on this one.

 

[Shri]

Giant should bat at 7 below Ashwin. PP at 8 and Jaddu as a slogger at 9.

 

[MW1304]

Cook's had a decent series until today. Or possibly yesterday, since I wasn't watching. Remarkable how much he's overbowled the spinners today, regardless of the pitch.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sanjay going on and on about Kohli's attacking #intent and it influencing the whole team is so ****ing tiresome to listen to. Two of India's best batsmen, Vijay and Pujara aren't even that attacking. Jadeja didn't attack because Kohli told him to, he did it because he can't bat any other way. Just stfu Sanju.

For sure. I'm not entirely convinced by his bowling yet. But his temperament is immensely encouraging.

 

[Contra]

LOL no reviews Cook, wtf u doing with that signal.

 

[Shri]

Kohli: "Review it."

Lol.

 

[hazsa19]

This is ****ing garbage, not taking anything away from India and Kohli, who has been immense, but this is verging on the incompetent. Yet another truly dismal 2 hours of cricket that has just ruined a Test Match.
