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

[vcs]

Beautiful shot.

 

[Jono]

Don't think our lineup was mentally shot in the 2012 series at all. They were just shown up by excellent bowling.

Yeah. Dunno how a mentally shot team goes 1-0 up and bats first in the second test scoring 300+ and then loses the series. They were just beaten.

Yrah, not mentally shot. The aging, out of form players were just not good enough to fight or turn it around.

Okay. Don't call me ****, already got called names by indiaholic and OS. That's enough for today.


#wahh

Dude.. now u r overlooking me calling you a **** as well?

 

[Jono]

Because assholes buy them up then sell them for inflated prices at the gates. That's my guess at least.

Thanks Kirkut.

#wahh

I didn't call you names even once, I just disagreed with you. Don't confuse me with meanie indiaholic

 

[Kirkut]

Kirkut, doesn't look like a sellout. Why couldn't you get a ticket?

Probably some rich bloke booked tickets in large numbers online and those folks for whom the tickets were booked will show up later today or probably won't show up at all. Getting a ticket for an Indian game is probably not as straightforward as it seems.

 

[Contra]

So did Siddle and Ryan Harris at home and no one takes that away from them.

And that mentally shot team went up a test and Anderson helped turn it around.

Anyway doesn't seem like I'm going to change your mind, so agree to disagree.

Nah, Gambhir was dropped after that England series bringing back Vijay who then announced his comeback against Australia in 2013, then Sehwag got dropped after 2 Australian tests and came in Dhawan, and we know what he did to Australia in his first game.

Also Anderson's first 2 tests in that 2012 series were ordinary, it was only Kolkota that he came into play in terms of making a difference in the test match, by which time the scoreline was 1-1.

How to make everyone hate the Giant? Straight drive deflecting off the bowler on to the stumps to get Kohli out.

That sucks, sorry to hear that.

I went to Hyderabad back in 2013 but got tickets through family who live there, so am not familiar with how to buy them. Seems a royal pain in the arse.

Also there are so many Bollywood celebrity wankers who show up to get their pictures clicked at the Wankhede. Though probably not at Test matches, more in WC matches and the like.

Get himself and Kohli in a mixup mid-pitch and refuse to sacrifice his wicket imo

Id love him even more if he did that tbh

Proper batsman

 

[Spikey]

lol england

 

[OverratedSanity]

Finally Stokes v Kohli. This should be tasty.

 

[Jono]

Not use face wash and moisturiser on his skin and he gets Pujara/Starc craters.

Right now he's smooth so he's okay.

 

[cnerd123]

163 overs and Stokes is into his 9th

Wut

Is Cook trying to punish Moeen and Adil by bowling them so much?

 

[Jono]

If Stokes gets Kohli out here I'll wahhh so hard.

 

[Jono]

Okay good, can't go out to Stokes. So its okay if he goes out this over.....













... unless he's run out by Stokes. Oh **** still not safe.

 

[OverratedSanity]

If Stokes gets him, the sendoff will be amazing.
