England tour of India (4 Tests, 5 T20Is, 3 ODIs)

[PhatBoy]

and the issue is it will not be given a bad rating by the ICC because they are corrupt and run by India

I’m not certain of this but I’m pretty sure the last pitch to officially receive a poor rating due to the difficulty of the batting was in India

 

[estibador]

This is going to be a once in 100 years scenario, this isn’t popping up every now and then.

Even more reason to enjoy it.

I could understand the complaints if it was happening regularly, but as a freak occurrence why not sit back and enjoy the carnage?

 

[eltrain]

Gotta love a good Pom collapse.

Heartwarming.

I’d be enjoying this a hell of a lot more if we weren’t relying on them to get a win

Mate it's a sh*t pitch.

One ball spins a mile then the next ball is pitched in basically the same spot and it goes straight. Sorry but that's a sh*t pitch in my book.

This is the two worst pitches I have seen since Mumbai in consecutive tests!

The problem is that overseas tests become boring as the home team will prepare extreme pitches to suit them.

Unless the ICC step in with sanctions. This makes a farce of the world test championship as other teams aren’t preparing such ridiculous pitches.

If there are no sanctions England should prepare pitches so green you can’t tell them from the outfield when India tour this year.

Present this pitch in county cricket and you are docked points.

This will happen everytime D/N is played in India, the pink ball swing and they make a pitch that spin on the 1st day so how do batsmen score runs.

Cricket is a funny game.

Wanderers 2019 I think vs India

 

[Scorpus]

Ah yes, the classic 15 over opening spell

 

[The Passenger]

This isn't good for test cricket.

If they did that they would get belted.

India’s attack overall is just as good as England’s and their batting is better.

I reckon Pope's 13 ball innings was the worst 13 ball innings I've ever seen

Win toss and bowl first in D/N in India and treat it like an ODI knowing the score in both innings.

This isn't good for test cricket.

Yeah, but it's good for people who hate England.

Which is all that really matters at the end of the day.

Wanderers 2019 I think vs India

That was due to the danger to the batsmen from memory.

And it was a great test to watch

 

[corbies]

Doesn’t excuse the sheer inability of anyone to construct a plan to play it. Leach of all people aside, I haven’t seen a single player use their feet, I haven’t seen a single player actually try and take the Rangana Herath approach and play for no turn, I haven’t seen a single player try to use the crease laterally. It has reeked of panic and if a team who has completely talked themselves into half of their dismissals. It has been ok bowling but not remarkable.

Stokes in the 1st innings, Rahane and Pant all tried to play using their feet.

 

[estibador]

This pitch reminds me of how I thought I was as gifted as Warney while growing up playing on our backyard pitch. I legit even clean bowled my brother with a Gatting ball once.

Then I started trying to bowl on astro pitches and decided I was a batsman.

 

[ams4crows]

Even gave them a freebie in the over and it still didn't matter

I was more referring to England today but as I said earlier I didn’t see basically any of yesterday and little of India’s batting today

 

[Browney2006]

This is going to be a 150-160 over test match

Yup and nothing will happen because India only care about winning ...if India keep winning who cares what's the problem thats how they think

India are the powerhouse right atm but they have to understand that the spirit of cricket is not about winning all the time

This isn't cricket its a disgrace to the game and all cricket lovers everywhere

This isn't good for test cricket.

Why?? For once the game is in the bowlers favour and weak technique is getting found out...

All out for a lead of just 48, doubt that will be enough but it's been a crazy test so who knows.

150 over test matches are not good for test cricket

 

[Santana]

How long did England bat for? Was it even 2 hours?
