***Official*** India vs England 2021 General Discussion thread

[honestbharani]

2 test series are horrible. NZ have the potential to jag a test too and walk away with a draw or even win the whole thing. England would have done just that earlier this year had it been a 2 test series. Chances of doing it over a 3-5 test series is a lot more slim imo.

Someone somewhere described it as an ambush, I think on crapinfo commentary feedback/comments. I agree. NZ have specialized that too.

lol no

this was an abandoned test match and we won 2-1

decent series and its been a pretty good discussion on cw throughout with no hostility

don't ruin this for everyone morons

*"everyone keep quiet and not complain and allow us to sneak off with a 2-1 win even though we refused to play the final game so we could all fly to dubai."

You have to be extremely thick headed to claim 2-2 in a series in which the more realistic result is 3-1 after 4th test.

In my experience you have to win three Tests for it to be 3-1.

it's 2-1, but with an asterisk. To be filed alongside PPG as covid-driven sports sabotage.

I’m not often surprised by anything the ICC do but if India are awarded victory in the 5th Test that would be a tad surprising.

Would be the ultimate heel move though.

Yes , this is something I agree . 2-1 with an asterisk .

But it shouldn't be 2-2 .

Agreed. And who doesn't love surprises!?

1 Test or 2 T20

Anyone who has attended both test and T20 in England can tell which is more profitable considering the ticket price

Probably quite an easy observation, but Shastri comes across as a complete tosser doesn't he? No scruples or any sense of guilt felt whatsoever about the whole thing

 

[honestbharani]

Don't delete/archive/close the 5th test thread yet.
