Fmd the smog looks bad today.

 

[honestbharani]

You get very little sun in Kanpur? It's so mysty in the morning and the sun goes down at 4.30

Yeah you get very short days in winters the closer you are to the Himalayas. Ideally we never play at this time in the north of India but these are exceptional days.

 

[honestbharani]

Does it really move a lot?

Off the seam, not as much as Dukes but more than Kookaburra. But somehow it seems to swing more if conditions aid.

it's been like this every morning, gets less cancer-inducing in the later sessions

Anyone else noticed how many more Indian fans seem to be disproportionately talking to someone on the phone?

Is speaking on the phone normal there?

I long ago switched to text only

Agarwal lunges at the ball when he's playing a forward defence - looks a bit ungainly, especially against a bowler of Jamieson's height. Think he could be someone susceptible to gloving one to a short leg, though maybe not on a low pitch like this.

 

[Meridio]

Really need a good spell from Ajaz here. Can't afford to get picked off for cheap singles off the legs. Only one slip in and not many people around the bat - we need wickets here Kane

 

[straw man]

hmmm 3/6 balls legside-ish from Ajaz first over, not what we need

Well that’s good news

[_Ed_]

Hmm, I don't think this is a good review.

EDIT: I'm wonderfully wrong!

 

[straw man]

got em yes

 

[Athlai]

Strangled

 

[Burgey]

Good review. Never a fun way to get out

 

[Meridio]

Oh I do love a cheap glove down the leg side when we need wickets

 

[Athlai]

Gotta chat with the fam

Yeah, you could see a moment of doubt and panic in the onfield umpire’s eyes as he raised his finger and then processed the words “not out”.

 

[hendrix]

wouldn't mind a bat pad in for Jamieson if he's bowling like this

 

[hendrix]

Come on Jaz, can't give him that get-out-of-jail ball.
