Probably send him on PM and edit this post.

Don't post Paywalled stuff on public.
Yeah.. quote/spoilered and was going to remove it in 10 mins. I remember reading somewhere the crawlers don't pick up on text inside quotes. Might be totally wrong though.. that was years ago.
will edit it.

He doesn't half leak runs this last year or two Stokes.

He either produces a magic spell or garbage.

Our media will be full of the team selection alongside the batting disaster.


4 seamers and Jofra at 8 is pretty farcical with the benefit of hindsight.

Don't you just love it when Kohli plays them straight drives with the bat face wide open and the high elbow.

Honestly seemed weird. Although honestly I wanted India to play three seamers and two spinners but to go with one spinner in India is just stupid.

If Stokes was going to bowl (which clearly he was), then it makes little sense to not play Bess.

I dont rate him but he also bolsters the batting.

England lost the match with the bat , who they picked with the ball hardly matters when you score 112

Sort of funny how the commentators are trying to push the narrative that this is a close series.

At no point has this been a good watch for the neutral/in any way competitive. Dull.

I thought India could bat out day 5 in the 1st test.

That was a good test match days 3/4/5.

After that it's been a procession.

This third umpire is super fast I must admit. That was a close call as it did look like the leg could be in the air. Should have asked for a couple more angles before he makes a decision. Specially the stump camera.
