great ball fair result for the series i reckon.
hopefully brook will learn the lesson of not giving his wicket away |
|
By:
hope players like harry brook learn from this , play the situation, cost the game

That was slow agony. All very well praising India, but if either Root or Brook had batted through England would have won comfortably. They will surely know that.

spot on elis its not the first time unfortunatley....

not a patch on THE HUNDRED..boring as fk

It's been a marvellous series
What a pity it's hidden away on pay to view. |
|
By:
excellent series but I don't think the Aussie bowlers will be losing any sleep in the next couple of months.

The minimum India deserve over the 5 tests.

trouble is, the aussie batsmen are overall hopeless

Incredible finish to a superb series. So up-and-down that it feels fitting to see 1.01 gubbed in the final Test. Some brilliant moments, and the mistakes from both sides only enhanced the dramas. Well done, WD - scan this fifth Test thread and it played to your tune the entire way. (Barmy to say that after England made great work of the chase yesterday!) |

Bumrah missed the two tests India won ,funny old game.

57 needed with 7 wickets left.
England the brave! |

By:
Well done India, deserved a draw in the series.
Bethell and Smith scored only 21 runs in the Test between them. Probably why they lost. |
|
By:
awful batting yesterday why eng lost
plus bowler conditions today & a poor lbw |
|
By:
Having a wild slash at anything outside off stump can’t surely have been the plan this morning when they need so few runs?
|
|
By:
BETHELL AND SMITH 3 WHITE FEATHERS FOR THEM
|
|
By:
Smith like a rabbit in the headlights this morning.wafting at wide dross until he finally managed to find the edge.Very poor.Shame about Bethell,lack of practice and a rush of blood.Patience was all it needed.
|

By:
it's funny(not humorous) how one dismissal can turn out to be the defining moment in the outcome of a match
when in essence it really shouldn't have been given the relative paucity of runs needed and wickets in hand almost as if that 'moment' gave rise to a virulent contagion that contaminated all batsmen that followed 'funny old game,Saint' Is Harry hero or villain? |
|
By:
I still reckon game turned on Ducketts stupid play 10 mins before lunch.
|
|
By:
Very poor game management by England in the 2nd innings. No excuses - should have won that game comfortably. Poor this morning. 27 runs required should have been accomplished

Fair play to India for not giving up when England only needed 70 odd with 7 wickets left. Siraj was immense, especially given that stepping over the boundary incident.
If Harry Brook has two brain cells then i don't think they've been introduced to each other, while he and Root were in England were coasting. Smith also looked like a rabbit in the headlights today, but it will all be good experience for him. I still don't get all the Bethell hype WD, we all have different things we look for i suppose but there are plenty of other youngsters out there with similar credentials. If he has the talent then he should (unless injured of course) have been playing for his county this summer. Our test players always used to play for their counties in years gone by. Jerry - we do start play here in England earlier - in September games are scheduled to have a 10.30 start obviously due to the light going earlier later in the day. You can't just decide to start play early because of the weather forecast which has often been less than accurate during this series. Rain was not due today until after lunch according to yesterdays forecast. |

though Root is a very fine player he should on occassions have a word with some of the batters hes out with, hes got load of experience and surely should have told brook yesterday, HI WERE CRUISING HERE DONT GIVE YOUR WKT AWAY, WEVE ONLY BETHEL, SMITH LEFT THEN ITS THE TAIL AND NO WOAKES

spot on again elis - great series loved it but cant help feel disappointed that we didnt win that last test

Thoughts now turn to the Ashes, England are a best priced 11/4 with the bookies and i can't see many takers at those odds given how strong the Aussie bowlers are.
I wonder which player(s) that most have never heard of will get a call up to the squad ? McCullum and co seem to love a leftfield pick. Hameed as an opener probably deserves another chance as he has scored over 1000 runs in Div One at an average of 79 this year although Sibley has been scoring well too. A decent spinner is hard to find, Leach has the most wickets of them in Div One but there is no standout. |

Sporting theatre at it's finest and a fitting 2-2 series outcome in my view , it was almost destined to end that way given how the series panned out.
Wouldn't be over critical about how some players get out tbh , it's the way they play the game and god knows what their averages would be if you eliminated the runs they scored from similar shots that get runs when we all applaud , i get certain situations can be viewed differently but imagine asking Pant to stonewall for a session , the modern day players will always struggle with those tasks given the mindset these days and the different formats they face , carry on playing their natural game and entertaining us in my view. Great thread guys and cricket forum showing how easy it is to exchange views for 25 days with both respect and free from insults  Jerry , loved the way you thought about hedging the tie rather than lose all that hard earned green , respect. Until the next time  |

J the Bull...Brook was brilliant no question for his ton.....villainous however IMO though and contagion spread....naivety (he is young i admit) at it's worst though throwing his wicket away. and fair point Root should be having a word as any momentum shift can be fatal and it was...game management
