England (387 & 192) defeat India (387 & 170) by 22 runs to take 2-1 lead in the 5-match Test series

[Romali_rotti]

Pant and this youngster Smith are top class players.

Will they ever be better than Gilly. In my opinion no. Coz he was the originator and the one who created this style.

No I don't think there will be another wicket keep bat better than Gilchrist. Gilchrist was the most exciting bat I have ever seen when he was in full flow.

If Smith proves himself in Aus and SA, he will earn his stripes, till then I don't rate him he just feasted on flat phattas...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jamie Smith reminds of me of Riz.

Yup. HE is the only equivalent to jamie smith. Rizwan = Jamie smith. Amazing six hitting skills

 

[Romali_rotti]

Pant style of play hasnt been mimicked by anyone. Its unique only to him. His weird gully mohala technique works.

Gilly and smith are both no 7's whos job is to finish and hurt the opposition at the back end.

Learn to think before making stupid comparisons.

So in other words Smith and Gilly have nothing in common then.

 

[mominsaigol]

So in other words Smith and Gilly have nothing in common then.

Yes they clearly both do not bat at no 7

 

[Romali_rotti]

Yes they clearly both do not bat at no 7

Mushfiqur Rahim bats no.7 for Bangladesh, another heir to Gilchrist

Oh and

He does Nangin also, so better than Gilly

 

[mominsaigol]

When did I say better then gilly?

This is the issue with indians. They lie, they hide, they cry.

Its in your genes to be retarded

That's the thing Rahim does Nangin so he better than Gilly

 

[RamLakhan]

Shorten this to 10 words or less. I'm not reading Indian paragraphs.

If someone wishes to type long sentences, they better not be Indian

There is no treatment for a disease, if patient doesn't take the full course of medicine!

Sorry I couldn't put less than 10 words (again!)

 

[RidiculousMan]

The stat padder is back now to get his 5-fer

 

[jnaveen1980]

The stat padder is back now to get his 5-fer

Statpadding in bowling is good thing lol ONly in batting it is not good. Even that is good in Tests in certain scenarios.

 

[jnaveen1980]

On this wicket he bowled Brook, Stokes, Root, Carse . No need of help from fielders

 

[RidiculousMan]

We saw that in the 1st Test. It maybe good for you fans if you are deluded to believe that but it is not good if the team ends up losing.

4 catches were dropped off his bowling. Atleast be honest with your observation.

 

[mominsaigol]

That's the thing Rahim does Nangin so he better than Gilly

I've noticed all Indians like to Beef deapite not having the balls to eat it

England heavy favourites to win here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

oh no. GIll down with cramps

 

[OldWarHorse]

Lords honours board fortunate enough to get associated with Bumrah. Great day for cricket

 

[Romali_rotti]

I've noticed all Indians like to Beef deapite not having the balls to eat it

No beef kid, I now think Jamie Smith is a better wickie bat than Gillie himself and is Gilc's one and only true replacement

But Smith is a level below Rahim because can't Nangin

 

[mominsaigol]

No keeper is as good as pant

Put pant in that goat Aus team and he would hammer teams harder than gilly ever did. Too bad he only has like gill and maybe sundar for support who are good players but not great.

 

[Devadwal]

It is a proud moment for Lord's cricket ground to have GOAT Bumrah's name on the honour boards

 

[Romali_rotti]

This is a game I feel J.Archer will bowl Eng to a win...

 

[kron]

greatest batsmen of modern era are Steve smith Rishab pant and Joe root

Kohli Kane and pujara all come after.

 

[Romali_rotti]

40-50 year olds acting like children .

I agree with you and this is how you behave.

 

[kron]

This is a game I feel J.Archer will bowl Eng to a win...

Maybe. Depends. First game back though. It’s always exciting to see a fast bowler come back though.
I hope he bowls well and England still lose lol.

He is phenomenal to watch. Just like bumrah.

 

[Devadwal]

Another dropped ,if we lose this test then like first test it will due to dropped catches.

 

[kron]

I always knew carse could bat

What a player

India have batting till 8
But Eng have batting till 9

So it will be interesting to see how India does now

 

[KingKhanWC]

This is a game I feel J.Archer will bowl Eng to a win...

Jofra hasnt played for a while so will need good fitness and rythm but I agree he is the perfect bowler for this deck. If he gets it right he can run through the top order.

India need to take their time, ensure they equal or surpas England.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Looking forward to Archer vs Pant... Mouth watering contest regardless of the outcome...

 

[mominsaigol]

I agree with you and this is how you behave.

I'm the most mature and level headed person here lol. Also I'm not 40-50 .

If i was i wouldn't be on a forumn. I'd be taking care of my kids probs.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bumrah takes another SENA 5fer

215 test wickets at a bowling average below 20

 

[kron]

Looking forward to Archer vs Pant... Mouth watering contest regardless of the outcome...

Will be tough for both

If pant can negotiate the surprise bouncer well then he can do good vs archer

 

[Devadwal]

And now another dropped , really Pathetic

Bro I always been a fan of Archer and always wondered how the Pant vs Archer would go.

Hope Archer is fully fit and we get an exciting contest, if Archer bends his back and hits the wicket hard, he will have the Indian top order in all kinds of trouble...

 

[kron]

Shoaib bashir is 1.93 m
6’4
That’s why Eng want to keep him as a lone spinner

His bounce from his height is handy

 

[Bhaijaan]

The one and only

Pride of Bharat

The Greatest to ever do it

STAT: Since his debut in 2018, 47% of Bumrah's wickets in Tests outside Asia have come via bowled ot LBW - the highest percentage for any bowler (minimum 50 wickets)

He is the goat Asian bowler no doubt

No one from Asia comes close

Imagine if bumrah had Warne to support him right now and a Gillespie for example

Or shami and prime ishant under kohli

 

[kron]

Akashdeep is extremely tired as he hardly had any rest after test 2

That’s why I wished we played Arshdeep instead. Hopefully batters can bat big and give bowlers rest as that is crucial

 

[Bhaijaan]

Akashdeep 92/0, Pathetic

Siraj 80/1, Unlucky but still poor

Bumrah is such a star

 

[Bhaijaan]

Siraj 5 wides

That’s his problem.

If you’re not taking wickets at least keep it tight

 

[Romali_rotti]

You my friend is the most mature person on the forum, agreed.

Why do you think I am now echoing Jamie Smith as the true heir to Gilly and only a level below Mushfiqur Rahim

 

[JibranAnsari]

So when bumrah play only he performs , rest of the indian pacers go on a holiday.

 

[mominsaigol]

Juat admit you messed up because you faced someone who is out of your league.

No need to troll. Bow down and let it be.

 

[KingKhanWC]

387 all out. Could have been worse so England will take this.

India fought strongly today and will also be happy with this score.

Game is in the balance but a couple of early wickets will put India under serious pressure.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Juat admit you messed up because you faced someone who is out of your league.

No need to troll. Bow down and let it be.

Oh I messed up alright which is why I rate Smith as the one and only heir to Gilchrist.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Siraj averages 34 when playing with bumrah and has only one 5 fer in 24 matches

And averages 26 with 3 fers when bumrah not playing

 

[Bhaijaan]

England 387 AO

We let them score 100 more runs than they deserved.

Bumrah was GOAT as usual.
The support bowlers were crap.

Fielders were pathetic

Flat pitch or whatever nothing is ever easy. It’s gonna take efforts to score these runs and try not to concede a lead to Non Bazzballing Englishmen.

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh I messed up alright which is why I rate Smith as the one and only heir to Gilchrist.

Yes Smith is the true heir to Gilly in test cricket. No shame in admitting it.

You are too old and too senile to know better.

 

[pillionrider]

Siraj averages 34 when playing with bumrah and has only one 5 fer in 24 matches

Bumrah needs to be dropped so Siraj can be a better bowler

 

[JibranAnsari]

The English bowlers must be tired of bowling to Jaiswal and gil.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bumrah needs to be dropped so Siraj can be a better bowler

Yes! And India wins more matches when bumrah isn't playing

 

[Bhaijaan]

History is against us

Only twice has a side lost at Lord's after making 350+ batting in the first innings of the Test.
425 Eng vs Aus 1930
386 NZ vs Eng 2004

 

[OldWarHorse]

That was just too good from Joffra. Scary times ahead

 

[RamLakhan]

Now let's hope ball loses its shape and bowlers lose rhythm...

Modern day Test cricket has thrown all historical stats out of the window.

SA chased down Aus at Lords last month. India can win this but need to surpass Englands score by 100 imo

 

[mominsaigol]

I logged off for a bit, came back to find phattu Jaiswal getting out?

Biggest softie, has never bloody helped his team when needed

 

[mominsaigol]

Biggest fraud sledger, most useless filth to have ever played for India.

He and siraj need to be put in prison

 

[Ahmed216]

Pace is pace yaar!

 

[RamLakhan]

If there is any stage (for comeback) its here (for Karun Nair). He has the best chance to cement his place in the side (if he wants to). If he scores a 100 here, I am sure he can stick with this team for a long time (like KL Rahul), there are not many prospects waiting (for No.3 spot in test team, we will continue to try trial & error...)

He has to just survive the new ball...

 

[kron]

Joffffraaaaaa


You have to be excited to watch this
Sheer pace

Brutal

What a wicket

Jaiswal has work to do

 

[OldWarHorse]

Jaiswal is genuinely sus outside off stump. Joffra toyed with him

 

[Ahmed216]

woakesy has lost pace

Karun nair is useless
He can’t play bounce

Best players of bounce in the last 2 years has been Jamie smith pant and gill surprisingly

 

[KingKhanWC]

near 95mph after 4 years out of tests with 30c + heat. Danger time for India, this could fall apart if they dont see Jofra out.

 

[kron]

Jaiswal is genuinely sus outside off stump. Joffra toyed with him

Jofffraaa. Absolutely creamed him

Destroyed him.

Brilliant bowling.

I am a huge fan of pace and bounce.

Hope India win but I want joffra to do well

 

[RamLakhan]

Pace is pace yaar!

But still it counts only when there is line & length (yes Pace will act as an added advantage)... Most express pacers do this, but often fail to maintain it throughout their career (through out the match too).

 

[kron]

What a monster
Beautiful action too.

Surprised he is actually as injury prone as he is given such a immaculate and bio mechanically perfect action

 

[mominsaigol]

India will be bundled out soon

 

[Mamoon]

Archer’s talent is insane. A bloody shame injuries have cost him a legendary career. He is right up there with the greatest in terms of raw ability.

 

[RamLakhan]

Siraj averages 34 when playing with bumrah and has only one 5 fer in 24 matches

And averages 26 with 3 fers when bumrah not playing

We will have to also see the pitch conditions, opposition and results (whether the team overall did well, I mean if they batted well and if the bowling led to proper consequences)

 

[KingKhanWC]

Jofra has more gold around his neck than the avg Indian housewife.

 

[kron]

ok lets not go that far. calm down
but yes insane speeds
brilliant
so beautiful to watch

146
144 consistently. rockets

if he remained fit then yea he would be just below bumrah and rabada level. he would be cummins level.

148 now insane stuff

 

[MumbaiIndiansFan]

Why are Pakistani fans so butthurt when it comes to Bumrah ? Feels like jealousy...must be tough to not have an elite fast bowler in a long time

 

[kron]

effortless pace by joffra. what a talent. i am shocked his action has made him injury prone. he has a perfect action for me.

 

[RamLakhan]

Karun nair is useless

We never know, we comment the same on KL Rahul (but we have no other option for opener in tests). He has done well in county cricket and that's why he is picked here... Also there are not many waiting in the wings to grab the opportunity...

 

[KingKhanWC]

You can see Indian batters are leaning on the back foot against this pace.

Pace changes the science of batting.

jurel can bat himself
there is some other young talents waiting
even paddikal can bat
pradosh
tilak varma
sarfraz
ishan kishan
and more
