Bit early for that. In the dream world we bat for 5 sessions it might not be a bad call. We shall see.

Also whats with the crowd?
There's noone there!

If you had seen the first session, you wouldn't say that.
It doesn't matter what team we pick if we bat like this.
Who are the 3 spinners? Isn't Lawrence a batsmen? Bess and leach are the two spinners.
Flat track for now - there's already a hint of spin, and the commentary was talking about there's going to be cracks once the early moisture is gone.
Root
He was counting root as the 4th spinner. Hence confused.Root
Stokes will bowl a bit.
Weekday. England batting.. high of 37 in Ahmedabad.. Summers in Ahmedabad are no fun... especially if you arent used to it.. it isnt even summer and its really hot.
edit: just checked the forecast.. today is good.. goes to 39 tomorrow..
I have a lot of work today, and I’m bordering on not even putting it on the tv after waking up and seeing the score
We need 300 here with the line up picked.
Which is pretty much reliant on a Stokes 100.

I was one out with my stupid team selection, darn it.
Starting to turn with more regularity now which England will be a bit relieved about with the side picked
As mentioned, won't matter if we don't make 250 absolute minimum.

Think he was referring to Lawrence who is a part time spinner. I reckon he'll get a few overs perhaps but likely Root will bowl more.
How affordable is a day at the cricket in India?
My bad, yes. I thought Lawrence was a Sundar-esque spinner as well.
Tickets cost anywhere between £3-£25 based on where you're seated.
Cheers. Fairly affordable then.
Ipl is expensive. The cheapest test match ticket is 1 gbp per day. The cheapest ipl one is 10gbp but that prices out a lot of the working class. A MCD burger would cost you a little over 1gbp for context.
Not watching but the scorecard suggests I should be blaming the pitch.
Big wicket just as we were getting back into it.
This is a 300 pitch for the time being.

Looks a decent Test wicket at the moment, but it could be a raging turner by day 3.
There goes England’s last hope of getting a half decent score
120 for 4 looked a decent platform. With Stokes gone, I think we can start blaming the pitch now.
Nice!
When do we start blaming the home umpires?
Obviously
When Pope's out.
Theyve been widely praised by the English media and Root.
The 3rd umpire on the other hand...
I think Bairstow's already started - hit him high on his thigh off a pacer clocking 140kmph, and was just clipping bails. I'd be annoyed if we lost Rohit/Kohli to that umpire's call.
That was such a poor shot from Stokes. Really frustrating.
Lazy defensive prod.

I turn the volume down once in awhile because Pant never shuts up. It's entertaining when you're watching for a few overs, but he has been yelling since cricket restarted and I'm trying to get work done. Must really get to the batsmen - kudos to his enthusiasm.
Indian fans are so weird , its almost like they are looking for some moaning to make themselves feel better about this . India being good doesn't seem to be enough

@DOTA is English I think anyway
You've to consider the mental level of poster here before replying to him.
It's only in jest when you guys say it then
England hanging in there, just about.
Looks flat for the seamers with the old ball.
