Some great talent to tune into here. Pant. Iyer. Potts.

Quality.

If Rishabh isn't past 100 by tea I'll be very disappointed

 

[Keys]

England v India is the Sophie’s choice of who you want to lose

 

[Ochre]

Leach coming on, if Rishabh isn't 200 by tea I'll be very disappointed

 

[Kapowie1]

Had a good chuckle at Warner and then remembered Boucher and felt a little sombre.

But then remembered Boucher is an admitted racist who has been charged for gross misconduct and chuckled again?

Unless we lose 4-0 in India and lose one of the SA or WI series in Australia this summer we should be playing off in the WTC this period.

We would have been last time if we hadn't been docked points for a slow over rate.

**** I love Rishabh

Matthew Potts trundling away south of 130km/h reminds me how myopic our selectors have been for Ashes tours by continuing to ignore medium-fast bowlers. Adam Dale, Trent Copeland, Chadd Sayers. Would all have been weapons over there.

Mitch Marsh took a 5-fa in our last Test there. Worth noting.

* Gill

It’s a pity he tends to give his wicket away cheaply, because he’s so damn good to watch while he’s on.

Also, a Pant-Jadeja partnership is always a good time. Brutal stuff

 

[Ochre]

Jadeja currently 85* in his third best discipline. Probably the most underrated player in world cricket.

Some over this ..
How useless is Broad?

35 runs off, hey?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Lol @ the England fans sooking on Cricinfo that India 'got an extra ball' to dismiss Lees.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Oh my God, did not realise Chris Silverwood was Sri Lanka's coach now. 6 Tests in a row for him against Australia without a win in the last 8 months.

 

[Ljp86]

35 runs off, hey?

Most expensive over ever in test cricket. Broad has form, Yuvraj Singh smacked him for 6 sixes in one over at the 2007 T20 World Cup.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Hell of a turnaround, India will be wondering how they managed to lose that.

 

[ep2018]

Wow that embarrassing by India.

 

[Westend]

Wow that embarrassing by India.

good to see

Test cricket in England this 'summer' has been consistently inconsistent.
It seems that every time England bat (3 tests NZ, 1 test India) they lose 5 quick wickets then some combination of Root, Bairstow and Stokes scores big.

And in every one of those 4 tests they have batted 4th and successfully chased down a difficultish target after a poor start.

Apparently they're using a new type of Duke's ball this summer that offers nothing after 30 overs. It's why every team has had early collapses and then a big Mitchell/Blundell, Bairstow/someone or Jadeja/Rishabh partnership.

Was this a deliberate decision at ECB level, or did Dukes just decide to change their production processes for some reason? Presumably Covid related?

Probably a dukes thing, I don't think it's that uncommon, I'm pretty sure Kookaburra made some change recently as well.
