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

[honestbharani]

Dont write off Mishy yet.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

That rough patch for left handers looking really bad for England. Bring on Ashwin ASAP

 

[honestbharani]

This is where Kohli loses me sometimes. There is absolutely no good reason to keep Shami on now.

Rashid reviewed a classic off the middle of the bat. 3rd umpire was asking what it for.

class

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Man come on why is Shami bowling

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Kohli trying to be Smith

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Ashwin bowling from wrong end

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah but England also playing well. Can easily peter out to a draw now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good run rate this, not just surviving.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well this is... positive

 

[King Pietersen]

That cover drive from Hameed against the spin was beautiful. Good signs early from him, really like the look of him. Looks so at ease.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah really solid start this. Need to get above 150 and then we can start batting then out of the game

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hate those moments you glance away from screen and they put a replay of a previous dismissal and you nearly **** yourself thinking it live.

Baby Boycs the youngest England batsmen to hit a six in Test matches

he can't be called that now. Boycs would never have played that.

Was a great shot.

Can't wait till Botham starts chirping that he is actually BELOFE - Best ever Lancashire opener for England so he can wind Atherton up.

 

[GIMH]

This is how to retake the initiative

Looks like weldone won't get to see Stokes today

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Batted lads. Nice start, 100 lead too. Keep this up and be 150+ in front by close of play.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hate those moments you glance away from screen and they put a replay of a previous dismissal and you nearly **** yourself thinking it live.

This should be punished by torture

Well pay attention then, it's not as if Hameed isn't well worth watching

Not looking forward to seeing us batting 4th here. Pitch definitely showing signs of deterioration, 60 overs could be hard to survive.
