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

[Contra]

waste review, Kohli seems to get influenced by his players a lot.

 

[Shri]

Thought we had him lbw. Ah well.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Haha, two epically bad reviews.

But nowhere near as bad as the two earlier in the game.

 

[Shri]

waste review, Kohli seems to get influenced by his players a lot.

He will eventually start blasting the ones who are wasting them and they will become more cautious. Give it time.

 

[Contra]

yesssssssssssss

 

[Shri]

Haha, Jaddu. Good effort from Vijay.

 

[Contra]

That's a serious catch by Vijay, never seen him that animated before.

 

[artvandalay]

Lol beard gone.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lolengland

 

[Contra]

So apparently Saha and Shammi are out of Chennai test, so is Rahane I believe.

 

[artvandalay]

Ashwin really needs to get a 10fer for the match.

 

[morgieb]

At this point the game will be finished tonight.

 

[Prince EWS]

#4 has definitely proven a spot too high for Moeen I think, particularly with him bowling so many overs here.

Unchanged XI then. I would like it if some young batsman got a chance in Nair's place.

 

[Contra]

Root doesn't seem to have much of a defense game against Quality Spin.
Seems to just attack & attack.
Edgy.

I guess he feels that the best way to go about it is attack, which isn't the worst mindset. But he does look seriously insecure in his defense which isn't the best sign long term.

Best call it off

 

[fredfertang]

Any rain around?

Yeah, I mean it was always going to be tough on this wicket but surely they could have gotten Stokes to bat above him this one time given the bowling workload.

 

[artvandalay]

One of too many bits and pieces players in England, so much so that only Bairstow deserves to bat above him in the present lineup for me.

 

[Shri]

Root's average is 53.01 and it will fall into 52 point something when he gets out in this innings. A two run difference in average is not huge between Kohli and him. Wouldn't be wrong to pick either one of them in a world test XI anymore.
