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

[mominsaigol]

Naw my 5 year old daughter is fitter then him.

Lol, no indian fell for this.

I was waiting for someone to say "You have a daughter?"

And me to respond with me "No, she's non existent, just Like Bumrah's Fitness "

 

[sweep_shot]

England should bowl short balls. Bouncers. Bodyline tactic.

Too easy for Jadeja currently.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This isn’t a trashing though Tbf. India shot themselves in the foot due to poor approach. Still a young side. Thrashing would be what happened to England last time they toured India

All 3 tests were close games

And India really should have won the first one.

Well it looked more like a thrashing 50 runs ago. Now Jadeja has lessened the deficit considerably so if India lose it will be a close loss

I disagree I thought the first two tests were pretty emphatic victories for both sides

 

[kron]

He will now Say i cant play any more tests cause of my batting

Tbf he did better than some of the other duds we played like Karun useless nair.

 

[kron]

Well it looked more like a thrashing 50 runs ago

I disagree I thought the first two tests were pretty emphatic victories for both sides

We dropped 8 catches though.
We should have won

But yes catches win matches

So it is what it is

 

[kron]

Stokes is a warrior though
Have to agree with that
World class bowler tbh

Batting declined but he did ok this test

 

[sweep_shot]

Lol, no indian fell for this.

LOL. Nice.

I thought about asking you that question but it would've gone off-topic.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Indian tail showing that batting wasn't difficult here...top order batters must be praying now

That because the ball went soft after 40 overs.

 

[kron]

When you play for milestones you will suffer the consequences

 

[Devadwal]

Repeat of edgbaston 2018 test Where we needed 195 and lost by 31 runs. Virat was highest scorer with 51 runs and here Jadeja is around same score.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Couple of boundaries here and England will go flat

 

[KingKhanWC]

For someone who shouts and jumps like a maniac, Siraj is so scared of a small ball.

 

[sweep_shot]

39 to win.

England almost had Siraj. Just fell short.

 

[kron]

Kusal mendis
Stokes
Warrican
Alex carey

All have played match winning knocks with the tail many times

Even pant

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Jadeja is boasting his batting AVG knowing he bowling is useless these days. Selfish

If you had some other selfish players you could have won the match.

Did you have fun?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Last two years before Tea.

 

[Ali Active]

can jadeja win it

 

[Nikhil_cric]

More than Indian fans could've hoped for after that disastrous first hour today

 

[Ahmed216]

Great game of cricket

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Stokes is a warrior though

Not quite world class but he puts in a lot of effort.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Last two years before Tea.

Long session then

 

[mominsaigol]

Jadeja has the chance to cement his legacy amping the greatest.

Indians can hype him all they want if he wins it idc.

This was a great innings and one of the best their was. Even as a non indian I appreciate this knock

 

[Ahmed216]

Stokes has given it his all. Amazing competitive spirit and athleticism

Can't win a single match by his batting or bowling since last 2 year. Lol

 

[kron]

Not quite world class but he puts in a lot of effort.

For me I rate him as a high quality bowler

He always chips in with crucial wickets time and time again

Even in India where the pitches were flat he bowled many overs and kept it tight and got crucial breakthroughs. Yes they got hammered but he individually performed well.

 

[Devadwal]

Can't win a single match by his batting or bowling since last 2 year. Lol

Talking about your post of stokes

 

[kron]

Stokes has given it his all. Amazing competitive spirit and athleticism

He truly is a warrior

I absolutely respect him. He is a true leader and absolute legend of an AR

He actually did well in batting for this test. In difficult conditions. Bowling he gives it all as always.

 

[gazza619]

What a bizarre time for a loo break

 

[sweep_shot]

India is now time wasting?

Same thing they accused Crawley off.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Should just call tea lol

Jaddu gonna be taking a dump under time pressure. It's not a nice situation.

 

[sweep_shot]

India is now time wasting?

Same thing they accused Crawley off.

If Jadeja doesn't return in 5 minutes, he should be timed out.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Jadeja has fully earned this toilet break. This defiance will be talked about for ages.

Have a good one Jaddu.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Jadeja gone to the washroom :

I as an Indian fully appreciate stokes tbh

True warrior. Maybe he is a bit of douche to opponents but which captain isn’t?

High class player. Bowling like this non stop ? Just outstanding stuff.

 

[Justcrazy]

jadeja has played a match winning innings here

 

[kron]

Abhe jaddu Kya kar raha lmao

Anyway. Great effort. Overall. Young team will have to learn now.

Rahul and jaiswal are the main culprits for this match

 

[sweep_shot]

Why is Archer not bowling? Shouldn't you bowl your best pacer to clean up the tail?

Strange captaincy.

 

[Justcrazy]

India has upper hand here , the way Jadeja is batting , he is taking most strike cleverly.

 

[kron]

Jadeja gone to the washroom :

Always wondered if pro players needed to take a dump, what happens lmao?

 

[sweep_shot]

jadeja has played a match winning innings here

Still 34 to win. Too early to say.

 

[kron]

He bowled a lot of overs dude. He is tried

Remember what root did to him? In 2019. He is an express pacer. You don’t overbowl a speedster

 

[kron]

Still 34 to win. Too early to say.

Nha dude India can’t win lmao

If only Rahul dint play for his milestone
Then yea for sure India would have won

 

[kron]

Lmao Kya upper hand??? Kaise lmao

 

[The Bald Eagle]

I expect my friend @Rajdeep to come out soon, things getting better

 

[IAJ]

Jadeja waiting for England to take the new ball and then finish it off, just to make a point.

 

[kron]

Honestly case can be made for both

But I rate pacers more so for me stokes is the best AR of this generation then Jadeja

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I expect my friend @Rajdeep to come out soon, things getting better

32 deficit with 1 wicket is getting better ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Siraj just has to face two balls every over , England running out of ideas.

 

[kron]

Jadeja waiting for England to take the new ball and then finish it off, just to make a point.

Nha cmon now 34 runs is far too much with a tail ender

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Champion effort from Indian lower order.

Siraj Bhai rolling out the drives too.

 

[kron]

I expect my friend @Rajdeep to come out soon, things getting better

What bhai??
How better?

Long way to go. Maybe if 10 15 left we have a chance

 

[sweep_shot]

31 to win.

 

[Bhaijaan]

We are losing this test match, yes.

But Jadeja and the tail has ensured our Sanatani pride remained intact.

Proud of the boys.

Proud of the defiance

 

[Ahmed216]

Siraj batting beautifully under pressure

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bro you don't have many posts until 69k retirement.

My humble request as a fan is please combine 5 posts into one and post less.

Tea break coming up at a wrong time for India, not easy to start all over again.

Sunil Gavaskar can take some classes.

England should unleash Archer after tea.

Champion effort from Indian lower order.

Siraj Bhai rolling out the drives too.

Rahul milestone shot
Karun

These two cost India

Big ball.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Well done Siraj Bhai.

Great stuff India. Very well done.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wow. Forced England into the final session of the match after a massive post lunch session.

Tea break coming up at a wrong time for India, not easy to start all over again.

Ha jase hum to six mar rhe the. Lol har pakki hai bus delay kar rhe hai.

 

[sweep_shot]

30 to win.

Tea break.

 

[Savak]

A few boundaries after tea and England will panic. The pacers all look dead tired. If only england had a quality spinner

 

[Buffet]

Series has been well fought. A much different from where series goes one way.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Tea

India 163/9, need 30 more runs to win

 

[Buffet]

Wicket will come any time, since it's just one wicket Eng has it in control.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I am supporting India.

Champion effort like this deserves a victory.

 

[Devadwal]

Series has been well fought. A much different from where series goes one way.

Not a one sided series which certain poster's expected and talking non-stop .

 

[Justcrazy]

India just 30 runs away , strong position to go 1- 2 in the series.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Jadeja has proven himself to be Elite All rounder

Great Spinner
Gun Fielder
Defiant Batter who does nt flinch under pressure

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good fight from Siraj.

What are the chances this is also a draw?

 

[sindhiboy]

What a fighter Jadeja is, surprised bumrah hung around for so long
I do think India deserve to be 2-1 up, they have been the better team.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol. This like 90:10 to England.

However, if India do fluke this , it will be absolutely soul crushing for England after Stokes bowling marathon spells.

 

[Devadwal]

Zero chance

 

[Savak]

Dont think this will go to the second new ball. Either England get the last wicket or Jadeja scores the winning runs.
