*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

There's less traffic at the next off-ramp.

Here comes Siraj to undo all the hard work done by bumrah and kuldeep

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shot Stokes. Put Siraj under pressure

 

[Calm_profit]

Lol Stokes playing Siraj like a spinner.

This would be possibly the worst selection decision of all time and immediately shatter the entire Bazball project. If Joe Root has to look over his shoulder because he might be dropped for some bad shots, then say goodbye to any sort of clear-minded, free-spirited batting from England ever again.

No you don't understand, I'm not saying he should be dropped, it's called mind games ..

It doesn't have to be someone from the selection group , can be someone like Sir Boycott or Michael Vaughan in the media..

Great players do love when they are being challenged..I don't think Root is being challenged enough currently.

 

[Bahnz]

Ball's ragging miles here

Yeah, unless these two go big (really big in Duckett's case) England are in real trouble here. Think they'll need a hundred run lead to win this.

Lol, sorry England fans

 

[flibbertyjibber]

The keeper is tidy. Unfussy, uncomplicated just tidy and does his job.

You're also not understanding. The entire, fundamental ethos of Bazball is that "mind games" are an evil and must be purged from the setup. Total mental clarity, total unquestioning support, no compromises. Start picking on Joe Root and the blokes who are half as good will be immediately worrying about their spots.

 

[Shri]

**** off ****ett

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good god. That's shocking

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Lol now roots shot has competition

 

[Spark]

The parade of terrible looking dismissals in this series continues

 

[Andyhere]

Have a nice rest of day duckett. One Ben out.. two more to go..

 

[OverratedSanity]

This series is proving that long hops may simply be the best balls to get wickets with. Dreadful cricket all round.

 

[Spark]

Btw @Starfighter this is why India should be preparing "flat" pitches. It's only really flat to them

 

[flibbertyjibber]

How to throw a chance of a series win away in one session.

Leggies (or wrist-spinners in general) always get a solid proportion of their wickets like that tbf. Especially on a pitch as slow as this one

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

I don't know why teams don't bowl really wide to ducket with everyone on the off side because he can't/won't leave - even when he isn't spooning it in the air like that

 

[Andyhere]

Lol now roots shot has competition

Roots shot now looks better.
You criticize one fool and the other idiot says wait I got the worse coming.

 

[Kirkut]

Duckett is so hard to bowl at, his short height allows him to leave bouncers and he can get his bat down quicker to yorkers. As a fast bowler you need to be very skiddy when bowling to him.
