*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[fredfertang]

Well batted Jos, and I suspect you got out at just the right time

 

[trundler]

4 for Jadeja. Wow. Well played Butlter.

 

[anaksr]

Butler has done more than enough as Test batsmen this summer. 2 mins silence for those who were saying he does not belong here.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hard to remember Broad used to be considered an all rounder at one time.

Broad was averaging 26ish for a long time.

40 tests in he averaged 29

50 tests in he averaged 26.74

90 tests in he averaged 23.25

Now averages 19.63 which is some drop off.

Jimmeh left high and dry again

poor from Joss

Pretty undeserved 4-fer for Jadeja.

Pretty undeserved 4-fer for Jadeja.

Bowled far better than Ashwin has though through the series.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Jadeja gets too much hate. Watch him smack a match-levelling 60 or 70 with the bat after India lose a few early ones.

Yes. I remember when he first came into the side and some were tipping him as a replacement for Flintoff!

Pretty undeserved 4-fer for Jadeja.

This is why sample sizes mean so much. Shami bowled superbly for 0 and Jadeja bowled alright and got 4.

 

[Borges]

Pretty undeserved 4-fer for Jadeja.

Almost every game in which he plays, I get this feeling of pretty undeserved returns. Nevertheless, he just continues to maintain his sub 25 average.

I think this is a reasonable score, which India would have taken when England were 130/1. Now they need to bat really well.
Much better than what this start suggests. That ball did swing.

 

[Daemon]

Dhawan's 1st single digit score of the series.

 

[anaksr]

I guess now that Dhawan has made every effort to make sure that he is dropped from test squad. His intent should be recognised.
PS: Poor Vijay could not have done much worse

Looked outside the line to the naked eye but fair enough.

Dhawan has somehow been our best opener in the series.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

9 more wickets in the match between Broad and Anderson to take them to 1000 between them.

 

[trundler]

Damn. ***y cut from Rahul.

 

[Starfighter]

Need one to seam back into Rahul here.

 

[vcs]

Broad's got better little by little as the series has gone on.

 

[anaksr]

I feel that Rahul has enough talent and had lot of expectations from him. Pretty disappointed. Someone like Dravid in the dressing room could have surely helped him out.
