RASHID MAN OF THE SERIES!!!!
Lots of people think he was never given enough of a chance in the first place, I genuinely reckon he’ll do better in Sri lanka than MoeenSo rashid goes to sl then ? He's getting wickets when batsmen go after him just like he does in Lois.
Lloyd is wrong about a lot of things.Lloyd is wrong. Definitely would’ve carried to Cook.
He has to go. He’s had to stand like a lemon in the field at times waiting to bowl. I’d hate to have to wait as many overs as he does to get a chance. Rashid has done well under big pressure created by Root. I’d take Ali, Rashid and Leach to Sri Lanka. Great knocks from Rahul and Pant. Rahul in particular. Awesome knockSo rashid goes to sl then ? He's getting wickets when batsmen go after him just like he does in Lois.
Been criminally underused given that there have been some decent pitches and spin is going to be vital on both the winter tours, should have bowled a lot more.Rashid has silenced the doubters. Top bowler. Performed excellently in the series. Captain has shown zero trust and confidence in him. Leg spin bowlers need a captain that believes in them. Root is the worst captain he could hope for. Top stuff from Rashid.
"Highest ever chases" stats are always pretty flawed for this very reason.All those folks saying how India have never chased down anything over 200 in England seem to have forgotten this match
4th Test, India tour of England at London, Aug 30 - Sep 4 1979 | Match Summary | ESPNCricinfo
where they would have chased down 438 if they hadn't lost wickets due to running out of time and had to settle for the draw.
‘Throw caution to the wind’ probably isn’t miles away from ‘just go out and play your natural game’ in terms of idiotic advice, and by all accounts that’s been the England coaching mentality for the last few years.Another match that could potentially have been saved going down the drain with all that 'intent' garb of Kohli and Shastri.
No matter how many experts come out saying '3-1 or 4-1, what difference does it make', 'throw caution to the wind, go for the win', this is not the right way to develop the temperament of a rather young team for test cricket.
Called it...Jimmys gonna get the last wicket here to take the record isn’t he?
