What is full toss, if not a yorker, persisting?

It seems to be the preferred form of dismissal today. England really needed a couple of guys to go on with it today, and they're running out of options.

I don't get the deal with Thakur. I guess his lose deliveries make the batsmen too comfortable before he bowls a peach out of nowhere(or slower full tosses in some cases). I guess his unpredictability is what is inducing these errors. Steve Waugh had said the same thing about Devon Malcolm somewhere, that at the highest level, you expect a bowler to bowl in a certain way and with Devon it was always unpredictable. He would bowl some very tough stuff but would also bowl absolute garbage that you wouldn't expect a bowler of his calibre to bowl.

Almost tempted to consider Thakur the first-choice all-rounder across formats. A little more security has done wonders for his game.

Livingstone is top class

given all the people who have been given a go in the Test middle order I'm not quite sure why he only gets in here

Are there guys still seriously doubting The Lord?

He bowls a deceptively slippery ball when he chooses to so the batsmen stay wary and overdo it on the loose stuff, which admittedly is very loose lol.

Does he have a good FC record?

TBF to England selectors, all of Crawley, Pope, and Lawrence do look like good test players in the making.

And that's a shocker too. I suppose holing out to a half-tracker makes a change from getting out to a full toss.

Averages 41, mostly in division 1 cricket

anyway Bhuvi MOM?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This match feels like 2003 World Cup final.

 

[wpdavid]

Another one makes a start but isn't good enough to go on with it.

 

[Apex Predator]

So we just about to hold our no 2 spot in ODI rankings. Finally an ODI series win as well.
Back to back series defeats for ENG too.

 

[duffer]

This ain't over, y'all

Will be funny if Sam Curran takes it away from India from 7 down like he did all 2018 summer

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Excellent batting from these two, although the English batsmen in the top order are doing the right thing with their ultra-aggressive approach, the lower order needs to build up on that and just score sensibly. Curran, Rashid, Woakes,etc. are all capable enough of scoring vital runs for the team if they don't get carried away by how the top order batsmen fo about their business.

 

[wpdavid]

That's a shame, just as it was beginning to look interesting.

 

[Apex Predator]

Lord deserves a 5 for

 

[OverratedSanity]

Curran really does hate India
