*Official* India Tour of England 2018

So now we are in front how many do we need before we can declare and win by an innings?

Kohli is so dumb. Give Ashwin an over before the lead is massive, FFS.

 

[91Jmay]

They are playing in the correct style. Neither has the technique to last here so just get the runs fast. Sticking around you will bound to get a ball with your name on.

11 overs of Kuldeep and Pandya (who bowled decently to be fair to him) and no Ashwin is itstl

Are you ****ing thick? There are two right handers at the crease

 

[ImpatientLime]

Cook too

eh cook you can get cause he has holes in his game

root looks a marvel but doesn't possess that ruthless streak

Neither of these two are great against spin though, especially early on.

 

[CricAddict]

Badly missing Bhuvi here, mainly with ball and also with bat.

 

[fredfertang]

Kohli needs a life ban here - only possible basis on which he hasn't bowled Ashwin yet is a spot fix

I was joking

 

[wpdavid]

Don't say that, it's too depressing too think about. His conversion rate is getting worse too.

These 2 need to build a decent partnership. We need to get at least 150 ahead imo.

I'm sticking to my theory that England's best chance of winning is to be bowled out shortly after tea.

 

[91Jmay]

I was joking

Yeah that makes sense

 

[cnerd123]

Wtf how has Ashwin not bowled yet

Games over. Even a 50 run first innings lead would have been too much and this is going to swell on past 100 at this rate.

 

[mr_mister]

That Buttler against offies stat is insane. How can you be so **** against offies

 

[Pratters]

One of the great spells. Kudos Shami.

 

[wpdavid]

Yeah, well heaven forbid we actually bat them out of it.

 

[Groundking]

I supposed at least he scored his runs quickly. Anyway on the tail to save us again.

No, not over.

Yes, ridiculous they didn't bowl Ashwin.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Buttler is not a test player.

 

[91Jmay]

Delighted for Shami. He has been superb every innings thus far - great tools and consistency.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shami's been great. Excellent pace too, hopefully he doesn't crumble like a bag of chips halfway through the series like his previous overseas tours.
