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

[kron]

Dont worry bro, I dont troll you, only troll the trolls

no for real he is very good though.
pant and jamie smith both are real quality
saffer keeper if he still played he was good too. qdk

 

[Ab Fan]

and just when i say this he gets a fluke wicket.
this is not good.

india will regret picking nitish if they do.

Nothing wrong here. India are developing a seam A/R and a spin A/R for future. We need batting depth. Our fast bowlers can’t bat to save their life. They can’t even average 10 for that matter.

 

[kron]

jamie smith root are the danger men.

carse can bat.

woakes is getting old now so he may not be as good.

 

[Sarmad]

Gone are the days when we used to say India can only win in India.
Almost s decade of planning and consistent effort and look where India stands today in test cricket

Thanks to Dhoni

fair enough but he has been terrible in terms of batting. really hope he repays the faith bcci has shown in him.

 

[rpant_gabba]

serious ball tampering and pitch doctoring by India. they are using advanced stealth technology to do it

dhoni????? of all people you say dhoni? hell naw

it was kohli.

and i dont even like kohli. but kohli changed the dynamic of indian fast bowling. although in reality i feel he got lucky tbh.

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahaha proper tullebaaz shots , blind slogging by brooks

 

[Romali_rotti]

Why? You are forgetting about Jamie Smith. I am sick of this downplay.

Nah Jamie Smith is the greatest Wickie Bat, I don't think Indians can get him out

 

[mominsaigol]

Nah Jamie Smith is the greatest Wickie Bat, I don't think Indians can get him out

But can they get you out

 

[Human786]

No one has mentioned Bazball today !
Another wicket be4 lunch would be terrific .
56/3 in 17

 

[Romali_rotti]

But can they get you out

Yes if Smith takes the gloves out and takes the ball

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes if Smith takes the gloves out and takes the ball

Jamie Smith is the heir to Gilchrist. Qdk could have been if he was a good test cricketer but Jamie Smith is the true heir.

The sooner you accept it the better. I feel like I'm one of the few non trolls left now.

Rahim > Gilly is one of the weakest takes i have ever heard.

 

[Human786]

Akash D has bowled 25 overs in this game & not a single wicket .

 

[mominsaigol]

jamie smith root are the danger men.

carse can bat.

woakes is getting old now so he may not be as good.

Brooks is underrated. He is better then KP in tests on SENA wickets. He will struggle in asia though yes. Those Pakistan wickets even usman Khawaja avg 105 their

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

dhoni????? of all people you say dhoni? hell naw

it was kohli.

Kohli? It was Ganguly who truly backed fast bowlers first.

Thanks to Dhoni

Dhoni? Dhoni was never interested in Test cricket. He was a great white ball player and captain, but sucked in red ball. That Barbados early draw declaration of his in 2012 still boils my blood.

If anybody has to credited for this Test team transformation, it has to be Kohli.

 

[Devadwal]

Haha proper tullebaaz cricket

 

[kron]

Kohli? It was Ganguly who truly backed fast bowlers first.

true thats true

good point.

ganguly changed the entire landscape. dhoni ruined it in tests.
kohli elevated it

 

[Human786]

Akash D has bowled 25 overs in this game & not a single wicket .

Deep mauled .

Nah no way Gilly can't Nangin, Mushy will always be ahead.

Yeah I agree Smith is heir to Gilly, one is left handed the other is right handed, both have totally different stroke play and techniques so the similarties are in abundance..

 

[kron]

Deep mauled .

tbf he is exhausted. he has bowled so much in test 2.

 

[Ahmed216]

Keeper up to the stumps ,Akash Deep been given trundler treatment by Gill

 

[kron]

its ok deep. dont be demoralized.
keep bowling at a probing length outside off.

 

[Ahmed216]

Harry brook is the most effortless hard hitter of the ball currently.
Needs a few adjustments to his test match technique

 

[kron]

Keeper up to the stumps ,Akash Deep been given trundler treatment by Gill

he bowls 134 to 138 today

generally he is quicker
he was much quicker in test 2.

 

[kron]

and the wrist slitting begins from indian fans already.
keep slitting.

 

[Human786]

outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[OldWarHorse]

Such a try hard Brook. On your bike

 

[Markhor]

Stupid stupid stupid as Gavaskar would say.

 

[nish_mate]

Another kiss of death by PP.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England making sure India take 2-1 lead

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has destroyed England top order 3 out of the last 4 innings.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rightly said by Sanga, this was arrogance by Brook

 

[Human786]

outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

There will be a result .
If only spinners can come to the party at some stage .... 87/4

 

[kron]

Another kiss of death by PP.....

good bowling by deep
but seriously what was that shot???
scoop vs a bowler bowling 136 to 138? i dont understand
in test cricket so early lmao??

 

[sindhiboy]

The reckless bazballing of 2023 is back
3 wickets gifted by the eng batsmen.


Another freak knock from Jamie Smith needed

 

[kron]

brook has phenomenal hitting ability vs pace and bounce.
ok vs swing and poor vs spin

but with such talent he should not have played rash shots. lmao
that was terrible shot selection.

 

[kron]

bumrah is a great bowler but his physique is so awkward lmao
so unathletic

@mominsaigol
the way he walks too is so weird

 

[batandballbattle]

deep isn't slow enough to sweep, such a brainless shot from brook

 

[nish_mate]

good bowling by deep
but seriously what was that shot???
scoop vs a bowler bowling 136 to 138? i dont understand

It's English, it's Brooks, PP got Stockholme syndrome from previous Brooks exploits against them, that it was against India was a bonus..

 

[Ahmed216]

India on top. England in need of a partnership

 

[Devadwal]

Brooks tullebaaz think playing some fancy shots is enough for test cricket.

 

[Ahmed216]

That one hit the crack.
4 valuable byes

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Brooks tullebaaz think playing some fancy shots is enough for test cricket.

Brook is not a tullebaaz he is a proper batter

 

[OldWarHorse]

Loose runs given away

 

[Devadwal]

Brook is not a tullebaaz he is a proper batter

The way he play test cricket is Only suitable for tullebaaz. He has the game but playing brainfade cricket

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

What do you guys think? What's a winning total on this pitch? How much can India chase?

 

[Human786]

24 overs in the 1st session ... 98/4 lunch .

 

[kron]

What do you guys think? What's a winning total on this pitch? How much can India chase?

would say nothing more than 250 for any good team.

over 250 then its very tough

although wtc final 280 plus chased albeit via drops

 

[kron]

root
carse
and smith

then india can get them for under 200

need all 3 out

 

[Human786]

India on top. England in need of a partnership

Carse at 9 so 250 still on which will be v tricky imo .

 

[Ahmed216]

98/4 at lunch.

Few loose shots from England have put India in a good position.

England need 130-140 more at least

 

[Devadwal]

24 overs in the 1st session ... 98/4 lunch .

No favourites. Test is balance as of now . Pitch is becomes little bit tricky with uneven bounce and from here it's going to be worse. 250 is winning total .

 

[Ahmed216]

What do you guys think? What's a winning total on this pitch? How much can India chase?

I think India can't chase anything above 220

 

[Devadwal]

98/4 at lunch.

Few loose shots from England have put India in a good position.

England need 130-140 more at least

Lol these tullebaaz were so lucky otherwise could have been 6 down

 

[kron]

will bumrah chip in with second innings wickets this time or? ??

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

250 will be tough to chase on day 5. Eng need one good Parnership

 

[Ahmed216]

Duckett was very graceful when Siraj was misbehaving after the wicket

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Brook is not a tullebaaz he is a proper batter

He learns a new word and then repeats it endlessly until he is used it a thousand times. That's Devdaas for you.

 

[Sachin fan]

will bumrah chip in with second innings wickets this time or? ??

He averages 19th in the second innings in tests. Here the issue is that the batsmen throwing their wicket with wild hits are not doing that against Bumrah

 

[Sachin fan]

Duckett was very graceful when Siraj was behaving like a monkey after the wicket

Lol, duckett was the one who changed direction and shoulder checked Siraj.

 

[Ahmed216]

Lol, duckett was the one who changed direction and shoulder checked Siraj.

I missed that

 

[Sachin fan]

He learns a new word and then repeats it endlessly until he is used it a thousand times. That's Devdaas for you.

The irony of those who constantly call these shots as tullybazing when Pant does it, now finding them ok

 

[Sachin fan]

I missed that

To be fair he did it after Siraj screamed in his face

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

The irony of those who constantly call these shots as tullybazing when Pant does it, now finding them ok

You will need to try a lot harder next time, Mr. Old User.

 

[Ab Fan]

India have ended up leaking 18 extras( 4 byes going for boundaries).

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Right on a knife's edge. 4 wickets but conceded 98 runs.

WinViz -52 % India , 41% England.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Anything around 230-240 will allow England hope, so India have to get them below that.

 

[Devadwal]

Right on a knife's edge. 4 wickets but conceded 98 runs.

WinViz -52 % India , 41% England.

England batting depths can be different at the end . Lest see how its goes after lunch but as i predicted yesterday there will be definitely a result of this test .

 

[mominsaigol]

Right on a knife's edge. 4 wickets but conceded 98 runs.

Today is the day Root scores a century. Today is the day root breaks ponting's records Today is the day root etches his name into the upper echelons of cricket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

In this game also, he faked an injury on his thumb and left the field and came out to bat in his normal position after a good rest off the field.
I don't know how this is allowed.

It's allowed in the rules since 2017 if the umpires are convinced that the keeper is seriously injured.

Hence, Pant is not faking it.

 

[Devadwal]

Root catch dropped but it was also a no ball. Temu Sachin Luck is continuing favour him

 

[mominsaigol]

Today is the day Root scores a century. Today is the day root breaks ponting's records Today is the day root etches his name into the upper echelons of cricket.

@Nikhil_cric

Btw my today is the day has never been correct, all predictions fell flat. But today is the day it all changes.

 

[Ahmed216]

Good start for England to the most important session in the game so far

 

[mominsaigol]

Stokes needs to hit a century. Its about time he tries to prove his critics wrong.

 

[Buffet]

Eng needs to score some runs and india will collapse. India is not really confident in their batting and it's visible. Eng just need some runs to defend.

 

[Devadwal]

This partnership is tilting the match towards England

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Pitch has definitely gotten spicier in the second innings
