*Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

[artvandalay]

They’ve treated Thakur like a club bowler in this innings

Doesn't seem from Shastri's commentary that he himself rates Thakur as a bowler. Or is impressed with the tactics out there.

 

[BazBall21]

Hundred for Jonny. Form of his life.

 

[trundler]

I still can't wrap my head around Bairstow averaging 24 last year and then magically transforming into Viv and Weekes's lovechild instantaneously.

 

[slippy888]

Yorkshire players needed banning after they ruined Rafiq life.

 

[artvandalay]

Just as bad as us
Just as bad as us
You even picked more bowlers and you're just as bad as us
Just as bad as us
Just as bad as us
Your fans thought you were so superior but you're just as bad as us

No arguments there. The baz effect is verily a thing.

 

[Groundking]

What a summer from Jonny, great stuff.

Can't even just say it's Bazball given it started down under. Crazy stuff

 

[Spark]

I expected better than this from India tbh. They've put up no resistance and offered nothing.

Yeah this has been a very limp display this morning.

 

[Zinzan]

Played JR & JB

His hundred in Sydney was pretty conventional though, nothing like these four innings which have come straight out of his ODI locker

100 in WI too tbf.

 

[Spark]

100 in WI too tbf.

I'll be honest, I watched none of that series

 

[Fuller Pilch]

So when do the body swapping aliens give the real Jonny Bairstow back?

 

[Nintendo]

How does this series as a whole go down on kohli's captaincy resume? Series win in england sounds nice, means he got india a win in Australia and england in his time, and when he was captain india went 2-1 and where clearly the better team.

 

[Zinzan]

India around 300 shy in the end.

 

[Aritro]

Yeah this has been a very limp display this morning.

Double shot of coffee usually sorts that out tbh

 

[trundler]

I'll be honest, I watched none of that series

It was more like the ton down under than anything here. More grit and perseverance than concentrated big dick energy.

 

[Howe_zat]

Tie still on

 

[straw man]

Absolute pummelling. And India don't even get that second new ball defending a target of 378

I mean the fact of the matter is that even with this revamped England team, this India side should have been much too strong for England across the journey. That middle order failing over and over and over again has really come back to bite them over the last year, after somehow getting away with it for so long.
