England Tour of India

[Utd heap]

I spent all summer on here slagging people off for writing us off in the Ashes. But I fully had us getting battered after day two of this test match.

Never write off this England team under Stokes. Amazing.

My work stint in South Korea finishes at the end of Feb. Seriously considering flying over for the Dharamsala test if the series is alive.

Dead rubber at 0-4.

Iyer is a proper wasteman in my eyes at least. Absolute rubbish. @Samid

would be good to see Hartley collect his man of the series award though.

Not a good sign when the nightwatchman comes in before you in the middle of the day.

I'm just thinking of previous years when we'd be rolling out medium pacers onto this wicket with one spinner holding an end wondering why we're not getting wickets

 

[TheGame]

It’s never over until it’s over. Only 100 more to get. Until we get 3 more wickets, I won’t believe it.

Definetly not over.

Yeah most of our success in the last decade or so has come from desperate lower order rescue acts.

As soon as Root got KL you could tell that it was on. Incredible turnaround. Need to finish the job now.

 

[Widow]

Games just drifting along atm, England need to be careful as India are starting to look more comfortable

 

[zing]

I think we are too defensive. Even 20 more runs by play could put bit of pressure on England.

Looks like you're getting your wish.

Just one will do. Bumrah will not make runs in these conditions and Siraj doesn’t in any conditions.

England need the close of play here.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Amazing effort from England but feels like it’s not’s going to be enough, the close of play is coming at a good time for them. Ashwin it’s incredible in India, this is why it’s so hard to beat them, not only do their spinners bowl really well, they all make massive contributions with the bat.

 

[Utd heap]

Would love this to go to tomorrow mainly as I'm currently getting pissed in a bar and they don't know Cricket exists.

Not buying your jinxing efforts

I hope they extend play by 30 more. But realistically a result isn’t possible today - well in England favour it’s possible.

This is when test cricket is at it’s best, 10 runs or 1 wicket can feel like a stab to the heart.

 

[CallyRed]

Congrats India

If these get to sub 40 I think England will feel real pressure. Counting down 16 more

 

[Samid]

What a ball.

 

[Widow]

Some ball that

 

[zing]

damn it

 

[MDFC Manager]

Congrats India

 

[ArmchairCritic]

This feels like Edgbaston 23 for me, still a punchers chance for India.

 

[rimaldo]

congrats india.

 

[Dannn411]

That is an absolutely stonking ball. Wow.

This and AUS v WI showing us why Test cricket still remains the number one format.

 

[Samid]

This narrator on TNT after every wicket is dull as dishwater. Just let the actual commentators commentate.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Extra half hour taken?

 

[MDFC Manager]

Idiot

 

[jojojo]

Gulp.

 

[Utd heap]

Oi oiiiiii

Where do you want the statue Hartley

 

[Samid]

That extra half an hour broke Ashwin. He was playing for stumps.

 

[Widow]

Silly boy Ashwin

 

[AshRK]

Too good from Hartley. This should be a great series.

Always said Indian batting is a dud minus kohli. Just play ash and jadeja well and you have a great chance to beat them.

 

[AshRK]

Silly boy Ashwin

Well no point defending as well now. Can't really fault him.
