I've got a work call at 11am for an hour and I'm slightly worried Jofra's going to be batting when I walk back into the front room.
England in India 2021
- Thread starter TheGame
- Start date
I don’t open
yeah not a prodding around wicket, try and hit what you can specially if it’s off the stumps, put bat through it
May as well try something different!
Are we allowed to say this pitch is shit now India have been bowled out cheaply as well?
Yes india have ashwin and axar but this is England's chance to score at least 200 and ask India to chase 150 plus total. If England wins this match, it's a massive achievement and they deserve all the credit.
Crawley out. England might match India's lead.
Bairstow is actually dumb
Yeah, maybe England can hit 250 to make it a little bit harder for India?
Ok this is hilarious. I know the pitch is shit but hahahahah
I thought that was out.
That has literally nothing to do with the pitch. Bairstow sweeping on his first ball. feck off.
I’d honestly drop him just for that.
Edit. Hahahahahahah
Shit.
Debacle. I just don't see the point of these pitches.
He was so low when sweeping I thought that must have been out. Surprised it was missing.

Someone tell the batsmen the ball is not turning all of the time!
The ball is not even turning. This is just piss poor batting
Just feck off Bairstow. So done with him at this level.
*But then again, everyone deserves another chance.
**Nope right first time.
THE BALL ISN'T FECKING TURNING YOU PIECE OF SHITE!

This is madness
The round arm bowlers Axar and Root having a lot of success.
Yea this is just the pitch in the minds of batsmen.
Yeah, this pitch is terrible. Wouldn't be surprised if India got fined.
Wtf am I watching? This is Day 2 and we've seen 22 wickets fall - 5 of them to Joe Root!

Fecking hell!
Ok 12 might have been optimistic.
This is silly batting over the pitch. Terrible stuff.
This is well up there with the most pathetic opening I’ve seen to an innings by England.
India won't be batting again at this rate.
yea just dreadful batting. The pitch definitely sucks but this is all on the guys who got out
Missed the first session.. what the feck happened
But it isn't doing anything!
I’m still struggling to get over Bairstow sweeping on his first ball.
The worst thing is that Burns batted pretty well in the second innings last test on an equally tricky pitch and we drop him for that.
Breathe in. Breathe out.Just feck off Bairstow. So done with him at this level.
*But then again, everyone deserves another chance.
**Nope right first time.
THE BALL ISN'T FECKING TURNING YOU PIECE OF SHITE!
Yeah, pitches where the ball goes straight on are awful!
The ones that turn are turning very viciously, with bounce. And the bowlers are pitching it up, so the batsman have to guess and commit one way or the other.
Just feck off Bairstow. So done with him at this level.

Bairstow can't play Test Cricket.
He had a great year in 2016.
He's since been worked out, he's fecking shite at test cricket.
