England should just reverse their order

Where's PapKnightWhatever

Root should bat 4, according to Butcher, just like Williamson does

 

[Heboric]

I liked how it put a nice big hole through the "win toss, bat first, win match in India" crowd that attributed all our home wins to getting the best use of the conditions.

On the flip side, it is also ****oo of people trying to say it doesnt give an advantage

 

[Arachnodouche]

Never pleasant to see a young batsman struggle as badly as this. Hopefully sense prevails and the selectors put him out to grass soon.

 

[cnerd123]

haha who taught Bumrah how to bowl an outswinger? WAFG.

Williamson/Taylor - those NZers all look the same to me

 

[Starfighter]

Jennings isn't very good is he?

It gives no advantage or disadvantage to India, last time I checked the stats they win more matches batting second.

Maybe winning the toss and batting first gives some slight chance to the opposition to stay in the game longer, but ultimately winning in India boils down to them playing well and India playing poorly, end of. Same goes when India win. Nothing to do with tosses whatsoever.

It is good, however, to see the English tradition of padding up to pace bowling retained.

the wheel is forever

 

[Hicheal Michael]

lmao

 

[Starfighter]

Ha, you've gotta be kidding me.

 

[R!TTER]

So are you saying at 10:30 am on the first day of a test match there are already footmarks on the pitch

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Could've been into the allrounders in the 6th over

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha bumrah you dummy.

BTW was it out. Root to double ton up for sure if so.

 

[Starfighter]

I think over rates would be back down to eighties levels if umpires called all the no-balls that actually happened. Not that they're far above these days.

 

[Top_Cat]

Bumrah creating chances whenever he bowls. Clearly not Test material.
