England tour of India 2024

[Swanjaxs]

Things looked reasonable at lunch.

I see India got a five run penalty. Did a helmet get hit?

No mate, persistent running down the middle of the pitch.

Thank god Duckett scored those run's Crawely, Root [again] Bairstow [again] failed yet again even though both Crawely and Root had starts, on a very good batting surface at that, Bazball be fuked!

 

[Niigata Jack]

Hats off to Mark Wood bowling nearly 28 overs in that heat and getting a fourfa, Anderson 25 overs for 61 runs and a wicket. Outstanding.
Duckett literally taking the piss out of Mohammed Siraj was different level.

If England can get a lead of a hundred or so and get Indian in again before the close tomorrow that would be "if Heineken® made first innings leads" stuff.

Batting fourth on this wicket could be difficult, but England are reinventing Test cricket virtually every game...

8 wickets for less than a hundred run's.

India fielding positions tomorrow
That should stop any runs other than 6’s.

Got this completely wrong, should have been England’s field setting.

What do I know anyway

 

[Swanjaxs]

Well, that didn't go to plan

Fair play, Basilball is nothing but shit, except on the one occasion in 10 it comes off. Why not just play test cricket instead of trying to pretend you’re special all the time. Sums up England sport and the rule Britannia arseholes in every aspect really. Average or shite and think they are great.

Maybe wilfully chucking away your wicket will work in the 4th innings chasing 450 plus.

 

[Squarebear]

Well? Yeah. It's scintillating when it comes off, but sheesh it's tough going otherwise. Like watching a shyte gambler spending a day at Chepstow spunking your inheritance.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Looks like England will have to bat just under five sessions to save the Test.

Or maybe...

This will for sure stop them in their tracks

'England must not become a blunt instrument'

England are fabulously entertaining, but must learn to adapt if they want to become a great team, says Stephan Shemilt.

Excellent piece. Take the rough with the smooth.

 

[PSumbler]

Nice throw away of the first wicket

 

[sainthelens]

Interesting to see if Root/Bairstow fancy any part if this now.

 

[Swanjaxs]

All over today by the looks...
