*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

International 12th Man
England surprised by attacking intent of India openers - Duckett
But batter insists tourists' total of 246 is "an above-par score
"It was quite a good day. I thought we were pretty happy there, getting bowled out for what we were"

Jeez what planet are these blokes on. Yes it's turning but this is a pretty standard India pitch where you always need decent runs in the first dig. And now they're probably facing a slightly large deficit. What will they say after day 2? We are happy we are only 200 behind the lads did a great job?

Jeez what planet are these blokes on. This is a pretty standard India pitch where you always need big runs in the first dig. And now they're facing a huge deficit.
I wonder what he'll be saying when they score 500.

Yeah, because they’re deluded.

the main take away from day one is India need to lose the ****ing woeful stripes on the shoulders of their shirts. Makes them look like a pub team.

Obviously Duckett knows we aren't in a strong position and equally obviously he's not going to come out and say that- nobody would.

I thought we batted OK - and 246 isn't a bad score.

But as we all know, our spin attack is weak, Leach apart, and India exposed that - it's not rocket science.

I'm actually a big fan of the crowd booing off every Englishman after their dismissal. Psychotic nationalism is beautiful
