Hayden v Shastri could be the most interesting match up here

 

[ioppolo]

The wickets for Indian tests seem to have gotten substantially more difficult for batsmen than they used to be.

They would doctor roads back in the days of Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman. Not they doctor for Jadeja and Ashwin.

 

[RookiePick]

Kohli probably tonne up here for an epic circle jerk.

 

[Trouto]

I really hope the ICC come down hard on this pitch doctoring rubbish. Compare this to yesterdays test and this one will probably be over in 2 days.

But i know they wont because the BCCI run the show

Thank goodness this didn’t eventuate

 

[Seadog]

Looking like a 2 day test match.

 

[RookiePick]

Hopefully they play the Benny Hill theme at the ground when our blokes come out to bat

they will be all out before it finishes!

India should declare, surely they have enough at this point

They probably have enough to declare a follow-on too

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Nitin Menon is generally a very good umpire, but boy he is having a mare this morning.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Have to wonder if India will even bother to open the bowling with Siraj and Umesh or if they will just go straight to Ashwin and Jadeja.

 

[Forward Press]

This Test will be over in 2 days.

We should Bazball.

England playing an ODI series in Bangladesh a day after ending a test series in NZ must be a first

They were playing two concurrently recently IIRC

And this goes back to why I said we play too much meaningless cricket. There should have been a third Test.

Not really meaningless with an ODI wc coming up tbh. Englands ODI side is actually quite strong today with probably Stokes the only big omission from it

Yeah they’re basically two distinct squads

 

[Dazzler9]

Just saw the score. How's the pitch behaving guys? Will this match last two days?

its fcuked. Massive turn and some seriously variable bounce, and its only going to get worse.

 

[Farang83150]

Got im!!

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Not reviewing an lbw decision when you’ve got two reviews remaining and you’re the ninth wicket to fall is extraordinarily stupid.

 

[Forward Press]

So India are all out for 109 after just one and a bit sessions.

If we managed to survive until stumps I will give everyone in this thread a blowjob.

 

[Biggie]

Can we match this score?

This has been noted

 

[Ochre]

New ball was a lot harder to bat against than the older ball, if we can not lose too many wickets early were in with a good shot here.
