This is not cricket as I know it. Obviously if I’d stuck to my morning position I’d be well up for playing in the gloom and drizzle and generally they take the players off too soon but I’m being carted out in a box here!

that's another massive difference between the sides..attitude,energy and fielding prowess

The thing about the radar - I find - is to discard the blue and only pay attention to orange/ red/ pink. Blue is often just drizzle, and in the modern era that is played in. Yes, it can force players off, but invariably they are back on again soon...just my take - I stuck to my convictions and pleased I did, cos at 8.30am I was looking at a largish loss...

true fats but their attitude s being pretty defeatist and accepting of the fates are against us from the get-go

they undoubtedly got the worst of the batting conditions but didn't show enough application nor resolve imho
too many wafty type shots adversity defines the man and they have been found wanting bigtime a lot of sport and even life is how you cope mentally |

the terminator's got his dander up..bowling well

Does anyone agree that there's a valid argument to abandon the toss completely and offer the choice to the visiting side to balance out the massive home-side advantage?
|
|
By:
Imagine if Kohli missed next match
 |
|
By:
no advantage in a coin toss 50-50
if you mean the advantage a home side has over a visiting one it's always been thus,in theory anyhow but plenty of top visiting teams have won away from home if they're good enough |

By:
just missed grazing the underside of his glove by a hairs breadth
|

By:
Toss not as influential as people think, this match an exception
|
|
By:
I wouldn't be against scrapping the toss but don't think it would make a huge amount of difference
|

By:
This has become rubbish as a spectacle. This will hasten test match decline

cant believe England were 1.55 when i woke up this morning
|
|
By:
blame India for not turning up..flat track bullies back home where they are regarded as deities in their hot sub continent comfort zone
|

By:
Englands number 7 scored 137 not out n the same track
|
|
By:
these two not incapable of scoring 40/50 runs

must be comfortably the worst ranked number 1 side ever. sure they've been on the wrong end of conditions here but they've been absolutely pathetic in this match
|
|
By:
any half decent side would at least managed to get the close on day 2 100/5 and give themselves a chance of getting over 200 and staying in the game

By:
they'd have had to have played way better than they have to be rated pathetic
 English is the world's richest language but i'm struggling to find sufficiently scathing adjectives to 'describe' this lamentable 'performance' |
|
By:
Pakistan have played 6 tests over here in last 2 years and won 3 of them!
|
|
By:
FS, sure we'd have lost a few early ones but more chance our middle order might have a made a better fist of it. could hardly have done worse
|
|
By:
think Curran and Pope look good additions to the side
good to have the youthful exuberance allied to undoubted talent and seem to have the temperament that won't be too easily fazed |

I will post my detailed analysis of the game at night.

If they’d only managed to keep it to 3 down by the time the rain took them off...
I really ought to have gone green in the low 5s earlier but it looked to me like they’d come off, which would have seen the draw drop to the 4s somewhere. Given that as always, I felt the draw far more unlikely than the market, it’s amazing that I’ve lost a packet on a result again. I need to have stern words with myself. Today’s weather play felt to be a good one... |

My red went back over £300 so I'm pissed off again too.
