Root on these pitches is as effective as Bess |
|
By:
England seamers causing havoc,fully justifying the policy selection..England on the bridle
|
|
By:
fair play to Root, would have been easy to keep Anderson on, but took the responsibility himself and rewarded first ball.

I have semi comedy green backing England in high teens yesterday with a view to a get out of jail opportunity

Not really Ritchie
Seen enough already to know Root had a chance on this imho although coming on for the left hookers is smart enough as he is not front line I would have tried Archer if he was prepared to bend his back |

I really ought to do my Catholic duty and pull out here! |
|
By:
for all these wkts may have come in for a lot of criticism(perhaps unjustifiably) they ensure plenty of drama
unlike 500 plays 500 ones you literally couldn't have written a script for this test that wouldn't have been consigned to the rubbish bin! |
|
By:
These are Great Rangana bowling conditions. The undercut is very effective on these wickets
|
|
By:
what a ripper
|
|
By:
I agree but I like a faster wicket that a,so gives the faster bowlers a chance too.
C’mon Joe! |
|
By:
why is the frigging captain not having Joe Root bowl more?!
|
|
By:
Death or glory?
Could Engerland set a total? I think not the only thing I would say is England do have a few aggressive batsmen. If they can bat out five overs then try and change the length of the bowler they might get a lead of 100 or so but Atm I still think India win |
|
By:
this is fking unreal

By:
India are darned if they're going to be outdone in the collapso stakes

Good luck bad luck. Was facing the prospect of a stiff shot of my finest Scottish at my bureau and reaching for the second draw and now looking at a four figure all round green! I love this game Stan but may roll the dice a little longer and risk it all! |
|
By:
Ishant and Bumrah don’t score so it is all on Ashwin to get runs
|
|
By:
what if they had done like India and played Leach Moeen, Bess and not forgetting the boy Joe!
|
|
By:
Slide in the Rangana undercut!
|
|
By:
Moen would have made a huge difference to the balance of the side as he is a dangerous low order hitter.

T20s,ODIs are great in my book..lot more to T20s than is given credit for BUT
test cricket is the dog's be it 5 day, 4 day, 3 day or increasingly less ![]() |
|
By:
Assuming India get a first innings lead of around 40 can't see England getting more than 150 on this pitch.
|
|
By:
Oh yes
I am a Test Cricket snob. I don’t acknowledge T20! |
|
By:
Love the IPL but don’t tell anyone
![]() |
|
By:
most associate T20 with wham ,bang thank u mam but actually bowlers who keep it tight are just as important
|
|
By:
Get in
But do India have enough to win by an innings? |
|
By:
need a cpl more 4 that
|
|
By:
Joe Root may not be much use with the bat but what a bowler!
|
|
By:
150 and 175 were both 1.01
|
|
By:
Change of pace Jackie Boy
|
|
By:
Silly mid of ffs!
|
|
By:
No excuse for not crowding the bat against Bumrah
|
|
By:
Could have put a The Archer on against Bumrah there!
|
|
By:
the draw's a big price

Let’s see how many camera angles today
|
|
By:
Danger of over bowling Leach - probably already has done - to get 5.
Root plus a quick the better option? |

|
By:
School boy from Root. Why dint they ever stand behind the stumps to receive the throw? That would have been out
|

At!

Ayt!
