*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Stefan9]

Awful collapse from England

 

[Calm_profit]

Absolute village cricket from England,From 200-2 to 319 all out.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Exactly. Bowling the third ranked spinner with the new ball over Wood's rockets

Could be the you broke it you fix it policy?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Root opening is such an FU to Wood

Why tire out two seamers simultaneously in the afternoon heat?

 

[Aidan11]

The wickets have stopped falling now.

 

[SteveNZ]

Why tire out two seamers simultaneously in the afternoon heat?

Because the ball gets older and slower the more you bowl it?

 

[wpdavid]

he has a technical flaw thats being exploited one of the best ever fast bowlers in cricket. he will be fine in next test if bumrah is rested

I'm not sure that's what happened this morning.

 

[SteveNZ]

Could be the you broke it you fix it policy?

Haha, yeah I thought of saying that but that seemed far too low brow to be an actual strategy an international side would use

 

[honestbharani]

Even after this performance you are calling India poor than this English team so worse that they shouldn't even be playing club cricket. Bunch of arrogant clowns, India showed them where they and their bazball belongs!

You are just going overboard mate. They have been fantastic and far better than just about every other English side I have seen, even including the 2012 one where I felt somehow, inspite of the names, we were probably worse in terms of form and performance.

Plus they barely had any rest, thanks to their great batting lineup

 

[Calm_profit]

Bazball is just coping mechanism from Eng to distance themselves by being mediocre they were before.

Being caught at second slip reverse sweeping is a brain flaw, not technical

Technical flaw? Brain either short circuits or is remote controlled/hacked by Salman Butt's friends whenever the team is in a good position and he's batting well? Yeah..

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Stokes did say Alastair Cook wouldn’t get into his team so there is some requirement to at least score quickly. Can’t bat at a normal strike rate

 

[honestbharani]

It was stupid choice to rest Siraj in second test.

Nah he was well down on pace and energy in the first test. You can see the difference in pace which was mentioned by Gavaskar and Co. on commentary too.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Yes especially provided there was 10 day break in between the tests.
Bumrah definitely resting the next game. I just hoppe India doesn't select Mukesh and hand debut to Akash deep and hope that he is better than mukesh.

Akash Deep is really around Mukesh's level really..... Both play for Bengal and really I never felt there was much to separate between our 3 pacers.

 

[hazsa19]

Well I'm glad I slept through what sounds like a horror show. Shame, ruined another exciting match.

2012 India team was weak.

Old generation was on last legs. New generation hadn't matured.

Same with 2010 Aus team. On scorecard it has both Ponting and Steve Smith but none were their prime versions.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Plus they barely had any rest, thanks to their great batting lineup Joe wanting to join in with Bazball.

 

[White Ball]

Root’s shot was awful, but when he tried the same kind of thing in the Ashes, people were saying it’s a breathe of fresh air…
