What's new

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

These guys will the this for rest of their lives. Such a golden chance to go up in series and then they just froze
 
And that's game for India.

Next test match, rest Pant, he is nowhere fit to hold the bat, what's with shaking the palms after ball hitting the bat each time, if you are that unfit to hold the bat shouldn't be playing..

Bring in Jurel for the next game..
 
Jofra bowled really well today. He has learned his lesson from the first spell yesterday.

Washington has fallen.

Can Reddy steady the ship and see them home? He has a test century in the MCG.
 
This was a recurring topic on cricketweb. They even gave it a name - Gambhiring. Intentionally playing down own team's chances.
is it some kind of superstition? if you play down your chances , somehow India can win at end of the day?

It is , basically they dont want to jinx it. So its play down your chances till you win. and once you win pretend you were sure they were going to win all along
 
India can still win it as jadeja and nitish can bat well.


But but this can only happen in their dreams as these ipl products cant survive on lively pitches
 
Score under 100 now.

Big psychological milestone overcome.

single, double, single, double and they will win.
 
This is where test cricket gives huge adv to fielding site, no field or bowling restrictions. Keep Reddy ready on strike.
 
Give it up bro, your diplomacy is over for this test.

Indian fans have come in their droves on day 5 only be humiliated. lol
Bro its not a humilation to lose on day 5 and no humilation to support your team in the ground in a test match. Let's be honest they have done quite well overall, its been a good series.

Yes some troll fans elevate their players to GOAT status, but I have enjoyed watching India go about their business overall.

And genuinley at the crease they have Jaddu who has 3 triple centuries in FC and Reddy who is a test centurion. They should keep hopeful.
 
So what exactly is Jadeja trying to do here? Save the match?

I agree India have competed well this series.

But needing less than 200 with more than a day to go, it should be chased down.

90odd for 7 is humiliating, hence the lack of Indian posters on this thread right now. lol

Yeah they should have handled it better....nowadays if there is life in the wicket Indians do collapse quickly.
 
Not bad when your no. 7 and 9 are both averaging over 30 with bat in Test cricket. India surely have some batting debth. That also shows how often India are saved by the lower order/tailenders.

India still Got chance to win it. Ball will be softer now
 
This is the last wicket. The other 2 bumboe heads will be out on 0.

These 2 have to take it home and score 40 to 50 each

No. 6 and 7 actually in this game. Nitish is batting at 9 because Akash was sent as night watchman
 
100 up for Bharat.

Crowd goes wild!

Home of cricket is rocking under the atmosphere created by the Indian fans.
 
Ben stokes as a batsman is not that good,
but he is extremely good bowler and a wonderful captain.

He is the best All round player in test cricket.
He is the MVP of test cricket .
 
Both teams still in the game...but even in case Eng win it...They need to make 4 to 5 Changes for the next Tests...Woakes, Carse, Pope, Crawley need dumping now.
