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

[Compton]

Balls.

Very well played, Haseeb.

 

[Blocky]

Good batting by Hameed, sickening dismissal but that's the price of playing defensively against Indian spinners late on Day 4, you're going to get worms like that.

 

[Howe_zat]

Send in the nightwatchman just to piss off the aggro cricket people

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Greatest spinner in the world takes wicket.

 

[indiaholic]

Should have reviewed imo.

 

[Shri]

Finally.

Ashwin!

 

[fredfertang]

India shouldn't be allowed any reviews anyway

 

[Pothas]

To state the obvious this such a huge few overs now, Root absolutely vital.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

World is cruel - Hameed

 

[Pothas]

Send in the nightwatchman just to piss off the aggro cricket people

If Woakes had been playing this could have actually been a decent idea.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good innings. Definitely looks a great prospect.

 

[Shri]

Cook has found an opening partner who can put HIM to sleep. Congrats on finding the talent England. Good player but I don't like his defensive style, much like Cook's.

 

[indiaholic]

Love both Cook and Hameed.

Did you like Dravid?

Do you like Chet?

 

[Shri]

Did you like Dravid?

Do you like Chet?

Dravid vs spin was aggressive. Pooman vs spin is aggressive. So yeah.

 

[Agent TBY]

I don't get why umpires call exists for impact. Surely whether it hit in line or not is a known event like where it pitched?

This also means no DRS for future India series too. Dire.

It exists due to extensive testing, there is a statistical margin of error that means a good/reasonable portion of those projected to be clipping the stumps, aren't actually going on to hit. It was something small, like two in ten that would miss the stumps when DRS had a marginal "umpires call" that forced them to go that way.

What the **** are you talking about? Read the damn post or watch the game.

Absolute drivel.

 

[91Jmay]

Dravid vs spin was aggressive. Pooman vs spin is aggressive. So yeah.

Hameed was striking over 60 in second dig of last Test. Belting spinners fine.

 

[harsh.ag]

That was so out had Dravid been at short leg

India suck at close fielding. Both strategy and execution.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Did you like Dravid?

Do you like Chet?

Can't speak for Shri, but it's possible to like a batsman despite not liking his batting style.

I love ChePu but hate him aesthetically as a batsman.

 

[jimbags]

So good to have a proper test opener now, not an ODI player
