*Official* India Tour of England 2018

**** yeah

 

[a massive zebra]

Nothing much will happen with the new ball; it would be similar to what happened with the new ball when India batted.
They have to just wait for the batsman to lose concentration and make a mistake.

 

[harsh.ag]

This all happened fast

 

[OverratedSanity]

Excellent innings by Stokes. Bit of a pet peeve of mine that in situations like these, the guy who scores more runs still gets more of the plaudits even though runs are basically worthless and the number of deliveries you play out is more valuable to the team.

Finish it tonight please..

 

[OverratedSanity]

Repeat that bouncer to Broad now ya Bum

Nothing wrong with that. Just blocking deliveries invites more pressure than also scoring a few in the process.

Outrageous delivery to get Bairstow!

So glad I finally got to catch up with live cricket and it was today. Buttler was glorious too.

 

[King Pietersen]

This is pathetic.

Does it though, for such a huge target it's not like scoring a few will force the opposition into defensive fields or anything. They're not going to stop attacking no matter what

Well played India - bit concerned about the next two now - the repeat of 1959 ain't going to happen and that's for sure - just hoping we won't get a repeat of 36/37

 

[King Pietersen]

Ha. What an arse.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bumrah you dumb **** get your foot behind the crease ffs. How many times does it need to happen before he learns

 

[King Pietersen]

Is Rashid trying to get out? Swatting at everything like it's a T20!

At least it will put some doubt into the mind of the bowler and captain.

He has the right idea as it would save him from having to come back in a lost cause tomorrow.

Ok, I was wrong; and not for the first time. Plenty happened with the new ball.

 

[vcs]

Rashid is batting like an absolute boss here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pitch it up you bum

 

[trundler]

Bum-rah getting spanked.
