butter fingers Kohli costing India this match lol..he'll have to drop himself now
 |

By:
you wouldn't ask Kohli to bring your drinks over...
|
|
By:
If we throw this awful team out against the aussies they'll beat us by an innings every test.
|
|
By:
am i right in saying that from 5pm we only play 15 overs?
|
|
By:
31 overs minimum but you can bowl extra in the last hour
|
|
By:
Joe Root should be demanding bad light at the first opportunity the way Kohli did. Looking very murky already. And I hope Root is also leading the rain dance in the pavilion........

That drop by Kohli was very disappointing. they have lost the momentum. Save Jadeja for thr last hour. Give him one over to see if the wickets is offering him anything
|
|
By:
The good thing about Jadeja coming on is hopefully the overs will disappear quicker

I read you said you liked Sam Curran in a previous post W Death, I never came back to you then but I’d like to ask if you’ve changed your mind about him yet??
|

death stare

Brilliant stuff

By:
Wow!
I remember India from I think 1970 maybe 1971. Don't nobody back then walked into someone's face specially if they were six foot six! |

By:
No not at all jim,
Good whole hearted cricketer. A little short for a fast bowler but a good little cricketer. I would encourage him to bat 3 for Surrey. We don't need a second change bowler. He can bat. Anyone can get out not moving their feet first ball. Just is. Anyone who has played cricket knows that. I like him but fitting him into the team is difficult now we have discovered some tall fast bowlers. |
|
By:
We’ll have to agree to differ then WD, he’s not for me as a test bowler or a batsman, but I’ve been wrong before!
|
|
By:
Sam looks very angry when bowling which is weird because he looks about 12 years old
|
|
By:
Ignore the stare or laugh at their funny face painting.
|
|
By:
will they shake hands with 5 overs left?
 |
|
By:
Well he has done it at Test level with the bat and the ball Jim and changed Test Matches so I disagree with you on that but certainly not in my England Xl at the moment but I have no hesitation in calling him in as back up. Very good in white ball.
|
|
By:
A major problem for Curran is Root's unwillingness to bowl him. He is an afterthought and was again today when he came on to bowl after an hour.
As long as that continues he isn't worth his spot in an eleven. Surrey won't bat him at three as they have better options. He's only a mid to high 20 bat and I really don't see that improving. |
|
By:
Was in Barbados when they dropped Broad to open with Curran. Looked to have no more pace than a league bowler. Practicing in the nets behind the stand were Wood and Woaks. What a joke that side was. Shannon Gabrial bowled with some venom, had Root hopping about. Look like men against boys. Curran might get in England where conditions help in but I would never take him to Australia.
So not for me a Test player either. |
|
By:
I think he swings it more than anyone including Anderson but half this teams problem is Root doesn't fancy them and he is a sheite Captain. I can't disagree with your assessment really but do think he could score runs with application.
|
|
By:
was there some kind of racial slur or something? India won't let that argument go
|
|
By:
The strike bowlers have done OK on the whole but the clear problem is batting. Only 3 are worthy of a test place. Root, Bairstow and Buttler on a good day. That leaves 4 places for new blood but where are they? Today was the first time in history that an opening pair both got a duck and then Curran joined them. We are missing Stokes and Archer but who else is waiting to get the call? Broad would only get in by dropping Robinson or Wood so would that improve the team?
|
|
By:
I guess its like a lot a bunch of our bowlers in that his bowling stats would be much better if he got the new ball. I'd argue that Woakes' numbers could be better that Anderson / Broads if he had the new ball every game.
But if its already decided in advance that he isn't getting the new ball then you should factor that into your selection. |
|
By:
Woakes I'd imagine comes back in when fully fit at 7..as others have said Malan not the worst shout and Vince not so unlikely as he always looks the part till gets out..
