India Tour of England 2021

[The Passenger]

Bairstow is just a flat track bully. Nothing overly wrong with his technique or his shot making, but has never shown any ability to grind it out when the going is tough. Not consistently anyway.

77 tests, 6 centuries, average 33. There would be about a dozen blokes running around the county cricket system of similar(ish) talent that would kill for a tenth of the opportunity he has been given. (or maybe not, which would be an indictment on their batting stocks).

Interesting movement on Sporstbet; Eng were out to $90.00, but in the past 10-15 mins have suddenly come back into $54.00, suggest some plonkers obviously have money to burn...?

EDIT, Root wicket, Eng now out to $401.00, ha ha ha...

 

[Plugger35]

Root gone to Thakur, that's game over now you would think.

Thakur MOTM

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Rahane should have caught that. He’s having a shocking match.

 

[Nuggetz]

Thakur gets key wickets, just when the other team is dominating.

 

[Nuggetz]

Thakur should be India's pace bowling allrounder moving forward. We've waited for Pandya since his injury but now Thakur has overtaken him in tests.

 

[Nuggetz]

Rahane should have caught that. He’s having a shocking match.

Feel bad for him lol

 

[samFFC]

gone

 

[samFFC]

gone

damn

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Yes Umesh <3 that’s a good plan lads.

 

[samFFC]

Great catch!

 

[deanc]

8 down now !!!, tea - if the tail somehow wags, bad light is the only thing that will save England now...

 

[Plugger35]

What an awful session for England, they went from still being a chance of winning at lunch to facing an almost certain defeat at tea.

Would take a miracle for them to hold on for a draw now.

 

[Plugger35]

Feel for Overton there, gets bowled and gets a sore elbow as well.

 

[Nuggetz]

First time India has an attack that can intimidate any team.

 

[Nuggetz]

Feel for Overton there, gets bowled and gets a sore elbow as well.

Yea, hope he's okay. He sorta looks like a james bond movie villain lol

[Plugger35]

All over and India go up 2-1 in the series.

Some great bowling from them but some pretty ordinary batting from England as well.

 

[Nuggetz]

Yesss, all over. India dominate on day 5 and win again! Amazing fightback once again. Special team.

Looks like it's gonna be series wins in Australia and England for this Indian team in the space of 9 months, seriously impressive stuff from them.

 

[glenferry23]

Looking forward to watching through that. Sounds like outstanding bowling from Bumrah set the tone after lunch and India were all over them from there.

From 9 for 120 odd on day one to then winning the Test from there, this is a very special and unique Indian team. Full of resilience and belief.

 

[Big Bryza]

Siraj grabbing his balls after dropping a catch has got to be the funniest moment of this series. He always does odd things or has odd things happen to him.

Like calling the Aussie crowds racist.
