Test India v England (5 Tests) + Ind A v Eng Lions (1 Tour Match and 3 FC games)

[The 747]

Well 100 runs of that lead is gone in under 20 overs.

Ashwin sulky face in full effect atm.

 

[Jimthegreat]

The years of international embarrassment providing pitches that were all big, doctored bunsen burners has finally sunk in with India. I've seen more turn in Australia than i'm seeing in this game. Ashwin isn't as good when pitches aren't set up for him.

 

[The 747]

Ridiculous appeal from the bowler and keeper there.

Well he usually doesn't get picked unless it's a custom wicket.

What player IS as good with conditions NOT set up for them?

He still took 6 wickets in the last match

 

[Jimthegreat]

Why did they bring this bloke back. He's useless.

57 home tests, 40 away.

Seems a pretty normal balance for a frontline Indian spinner

I'd be grumpy if I was Axar Patel and this uncle was bowling ahead of me.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Sharma is one useless captain.

Exactly. Patel must think he is an extra out there.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Least it’s fun to see another team get smacked by Bazball

 

[Around the Wicket]

Sharma is one useless captain.

couldn't make the Test side for over a decade then he gets handed captaincy lol..

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Peak Bazball dismissal

 

[MJG14]

That's a great catch.

Soon as Axar bowls..........

 

[Around the Wicket]

Axar is under bowled every game.

He got all of one over, then taken off.

 

[The 747]

Bumrah is going to be a real handful next summer.

 

[PhatBoy]

Great catch to get Crawley and the Indian fans have come back to life again.

It's a battle of the Indian horns vs the Barmy Army trumpeter, at least the Barmy Army bloke can play a tune rather than a one note drone.

Yeah I just wish I could hear the Addams Family theme instead or a recording of someone yelling out ‘coooeee’

Two good pitches so far for this series. I wonder why they felt one they needed to dish up such crap pitches when Australia toured last year.

 

[The 747]

Big wicket on this pitch - then Bumrah blasts Pope out with a yorker.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Bumrah looks classes above any bowler out there.

They'd been doing for years to SENA countries. I'd say the backlash has finally embarrassed them into creating good pitches.

Bumrah is turning it on. That was a beauty to get Pope out. England's carrot top sooks front Lord's will have to save them.

That's coz he is.
