0-0 after 200 overs
|
|
By:
is that your final answer no.9 ?
 |
|
By:
we didn't even manage 0-0 after 1 over in the 1st innings, so I'm expecting an improvement............
|
|
By:
I do like the Ashwin I must admit...hoping to see him Mankad someone in the 2nd inns then my enjoyment will be complete..
|
|
By:
would have been interesting to see the Eng price if the lead had gone to 970
|
|
By:
Ashwin certainly has a great attitude, yeah I was pondering how many England will get, I’m assuming the line will be around 180, I’ll go 224.

Is my mind playing tricks with me or was there an English ground that had a hinged storage hole just off the square for helmets etc?

pretty sure Lords did some time in the mid to late 80's and maybe somewhere else as well

Cheers Brenty, yeah Lords sounds right.

just on the subject of forumites... does Rockchucker ever appear in any guise anywhere these days to your knowledge LL ? held him in very high regard

I’ve been a very infrequent visitor myself this last few years, so wouldn’t really know, but yeah a fine judge.

By:
ok cheers anyway...is it a sign of lockdown madness setting in when one starts posting on here again ? .... I think it probably is...

nice to see Sibley's resolved those problems against spin in asia
|
|
By:
Market didn’t put much weight on his wicket, technique didn’t look great...
... but anyway as long as they get 224 between them |
|
By:
as someone that loves an excuse for backing a dog I'm really not seeing the angle here but from a viewing point of view will be fantastic if they give it any sort of credibility

Rohit Sharma should be MOM imho
I said at lunch in the first day this game his over already. He scored 80 before lunch. |
|
By:
can certainly see a case for it WD...but as an R Ash fanboy I just aint having it !
 |
|
By:
You are correct WD in your comment about the 1st session, I sat and watched it with jaw dropped, it was clear he put us out of the match that early on this pitch and I felt exactly as you did. But Ashwin...........! Logically, of course, we were already out of the match (unless we muster 330ish) so Rohit's efforts were more consequential.

Ashwin is in my bad books today. I was on under 248.5 which looked pretty safe until he got to the crease! He is a tremendous cricketer though. Very brave. Great to have on your side just forgetting his skill for a minute. I watched him in Aus and he is a tough tough guy. |
|
By:
bad luck on that WD looked weighed in at one point...
yep showed some special character as you say in that series |
|
By:
I think India's second innings total---should shut up the ex England captains complaining about the pitch !!---By the way hi to Number9--long time since we met at Wolverhampton.

Wd..u know ur stuff..smn pls explain 2 me pitching o/s off..not out
WTF does it matter where it pitches when it's showing it hits the stumps?.never understood the thinking behind this 'anomaly' |

By:
Jonny
Whether it pitches outside off or not is irrelevant in terms of whether a batsman is out lbw or not. If it pitches outside leg a batsman cannot be out lbw, regardless of whether it was going to hit the stumps. If it hits a batsman’s pads outside the line of off stump, a batsman cannot be out lbw if deemed to be playing a shot. If the umpire deems a batsman not to be playing a shot and the ball hits him outside the line of off, he can give him out lbw if he judges the ball to be hitting the stumps (or if DRS shows it to be on review) HTH |

thx djptr,appreciate ur input but i guess i'm never really going to get my head round this
imo, irrespective of where a ball pitches and whether a shot is being played if the shot misses the ball and the only thing preventing the wkts been hit are the pads surely,bar the equipment,he would be bowled? guess,i'll have to spend the rest of my natural perplexed trial by spin this test but not convinced a wkt such as this is entirely'fair'..too much in favour of one brand of bowler and a nightmare 4 the batsmen more interesting than a bore draw 500+ plays 500+ in the light of how things have played out so far don't think England would've gone anywhere close to winning even had they won the toss be interesting to see what 'surface' is 'produced/concocted for the final 2 tests |
