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

Fantastic display of irony there.

Well they are all elite umpires. Whereas we're getting home umpires who aren't on the list making mistakes.

The aussies we get are better than anything else apart from Dar. The English guys always seem better than the rest too.

I'm not complaining about home umpires completely, I just don't know why there's been a change in the rules over recent years.

Non elite umpires is the issue. It's not like home umpires have all been appalling when umpiring their home countries. It's been the increase of lesser umpires.

Going after Plunkett is good strategy. You know he'll bowl full pies.

 

[Compton]

Glad to have you back, Liam.

 

[vcs]

Will definitely go to the Australia match in March.

 

[mackembhoy]

Erm Jordan what was that?

 

[91Jmay]

This is a belting pitch, should have been taken though. Rashid such a **** fielder, Jordan has to go for that.

 

[Shri]

****, Raina isn't timing anything. Wac.

 

[91Jmay]

Raina swinging like a rusty gate. Good knock though, this could be a cracking game.

 

[Daemon]

Raina's backing away every ****ing ball. That didn't deserve six.

 

[91Jmay]

Reckon 180 is what they need here, probably as a minimum. Well on track to get past that.

 

[Shri]

After the first 3 overs, 53 isn't what I expected off the powerplay. Been a bit lucky.

 

[Daemon]

What the ****, that was absolutely massive

 

[vcs]

One of the biggest sixes I've ever seen hit.

 

[Jono]

Big fan of Rahul Dravid's son. Natural talent, gotta back them in.

 

[Jono]

Bangalre crowd chanting Rahul, presumably because Rahul Dravid Snr is a local

 

[Daemon]

Shri's going to be so pissed when Pant doesn't get to bat today

 

[91Jmay]

That's an absolute filthy slog. No need for a talent like him to do that.

 

[Jono]

That is such a disgusting shot. SACK HIM

 

[vcs]

Balls, Rahul against the spinners for a few more overs would have been interesting to watch.

 

[Jono]

Dhoni at 4, awesome.
