India tour of Ireland and England - 2018

[Turnsole]

That was an extraordinary delivery

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Terrible umpiring.

Vihari plumb, given not out. No idea why England didn't review. Then one way too high given out.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Missing by a lazy foot.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Golden Balls, Stokes.....

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Really poor by Pant.

 

[Ishikawa]

I dunno, I just expected more of a team ranked No. 1. Especially since poor old England have been all over the place form wise since the last (northern) summer.

Absolutely bizarre comment. It's been a very tight series right the way through. England have outplayed them in the decisive moments, but not comprehensively at all.

 

[HBF]

India less than 100 behind now with 4 wickets remaining. Although new ball is due in a few overs time.

Best I've seen Jadeja bat in years. Starting to see how he managed to score that triple hundred in Ranji.

Quality innings from Jadeja. It’s a shame we can’t quite fit both him and Ashwin in the same team. Both of them bowling allrounders and just not consistent enough with the bat. Especially with most of the top 6 being ordinary.

Do England have nobody better than Jennings?

Looks incredibly shaky every single time.

Burns is likely better, well at least is in fantastic form at the moment.

Jennings can bat, just got minimal confidence at the moment.

 

[Marmozet]

Alastair Cook! Enough said.

He’s going to missed badly by all cricket fans.

 

[Turnsole]

As an England supporter, seeing Cook score a century in his final innings is a wonderful sight. I'll never forget his performance in the 2010/11 Ashes. Some of the best cricketing moments of my life.

I probably should have more faith in my own team, but I half expected India to wipe the floor against England. My surprise is that England stood up and played really well.

Eyes watered

Had them lowered this series

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Holy moley......Kohli gone first ball.

India 3/2

 

[mugiwara]

I hope atleast now Dhawan doesn't play for India in tests. Bring Shaw !

Probably the only time Kohli had given up on saving the match in his entire career.

 

[Oaktree]

Rahul doing a Bannerman here.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

So much so for India being the best team in the world lol, they are just like everyone else, dominant at home and average to poor away.

 

[Ishikawa]

Pleases me immensely to see Cook go out of international cricket with such success. If there's been any one to deserve the fairytale finish, it's him.

To have survived the sheer volume of the shrill losers who came crawling out of the woodwork with such invective when he was simultaneously going through:
1) Taking the brunt of the Pietersen saga by being the visible face of the ECB due to poor PR
2) An Ashes humiliation
3) A real dip in form
4) A lot of upheaval in the background with coaching staff & structure

To have got through all of that without ever dropping his head or degrading the absolute class he carries himself with speaks volumes of his character. Those kind of experiences can easily have broken / seriously scarred / permanently embittered a cricketer yet is so damn zen and positive about the game he still wants to carry on playing for Essex in the championship. Legend.

They've held up ok for the most part this series, but yes the wheels have basically fallen off in this final test.

Agreed. Losing 5/5 tosses didn’t help.

Outside of today and basically that entire Lords test which lasted about 2 1/2 days it’s basically been 50/50 most days.

Bat first = Win. Yes

Breakthrough by Moeen, then quick follow-up by Stokes.
