*Official* Second Test at Lord's - Aug 12-16 2021

[karan_fromthestands]

How animated Virat Kohli gets at the fall of a wicket or when the team wins is inversely proportional to how many runs he scores.

What are you doing watching cricket?

I've had Sky since Christmas so it's an option for me now.

Siraj is an absolutely insane find isnt he. Done some incredible things in his career already for India.

Well what a performance. Bowling them out inside two sessions.

Special thanks to Jimmy for the motivation.

 

[Kirkut]

YAAAAYYYY!!!!

Vindication for all those people who kept picking him high in sim drafts based purely on his ridiculous FC + India A stats

 

[Anil]

YES! Well done India!

 

[Window]

All the pace bowlers did well. Can India really drop one of them for Ashwin next match? Maybe if they’re resting Bumrah or Siraj I guess.

Sky cricket have redesigned their logo to read Sky Hundred for the duration of The Hundred, even tho they're broadcasting a very important and high profile Test series too.

Keep advertising the 100 during the game whenever theh get the chance to as well. It's terrible

Thank god I don't have SKY.

This match was a good advertisement for the one true format---test cricket at Lord's

Lol turn on and see 3 wickets fall in the space of 10 balls.

Automatic selection every game (unless he gets himself banned). Can't put a price on that combination of skill and energy.

Depends on fitness I think. They could bring back Thakur who can bat a little, but for all the condemnation of the bowlers batting (plenty from me tbf) have they turned a corner? or was it just one of those days?

 

[Kirkut]

Siraj sort of reminds me of Stuart Broad from 2011 with those swift off cutters.

 

[Bijed]

In 2014, we were 1-0 down after 2 matches following a gutless second innings effort at Lords, then went on to dominate the series and win 3-1. Fair to say India have fallen straight into our trap

 

[Gremlin]

Over the first 4 days I'd have said a draw would have been a fair result.

However, England were so abjectly awful today they deserved everything they got. Well played India, strength and resilience in abundance.

Washington's Sundar's dad dislikes this post.

With ten days in between, they'll be recovered enough. Maybe the game after.

Good shout, this. Bowls from wide of the crease too. Maybe not as inconsistent yet randomly destructive as 2011 Broad could be though.
