What's new

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

Match is no where out of Indians' hands... It can anytime be 160/5... We should have been concerned if the score was like 120/0 after lunch... Match is even poised... If England end up the day 320/3, then it should be good for them... If India can get them to like 280/8, then it will be great for India...
 
booms has the best record vs steven smith and second best vs root. goat for a reason.
 
in about 10 overs ball will get really soft. will be interesting then. bazzball might come into play
 
as long as he himself doesnt give himself a panic attack inadvertently.
Root is an amazing test batsmen and post comeback he has been avg 54 since his ressurgence

Excluding Aus he has been just as good as Sachin was. Issue is that pre 2019 he was an avg test batsmen.

And sachin at peak avg 58-61.

But he has been as good as Tenda was for the most part excluding aus.

People like @jeeteshssaxena think they know so much but I doubt they know anything about cricket beyond cricinfo
 
can gill not grow a beard lmao? 24 and no beard still unless he shaves often.
cant sledge with that pappu baby face bro.

got to look like a man. same with pant

i would put sachin well above root but below steve smith.
 
So I was right Siraj complement Bumrah more...runs have dried up a bit. Eng be like bring back Akash deep please

steve smith is goat

gap
sachin / lara take your pick
then kalis
followed by root etc.

biggest stat padder is kane. somehow he averages above many of these greats by stat padding vs crap teams.
 
Akash Deep might be bit over-confident OR out-of-focus this match so far...
 
England have batted well, India haven't given them too many easy ones and the wicket is definitely more helpful
 
Yes, it benefits Bumrah than the other way
need to see more body line bowling
where is the aggressiveness?
bouncers. need to hit batsmen if you cant get them out.
physically hurt them.

its not a gentleman's game.

its a tough man's sport.
 
gill and pant with their girly voices and beardless faces lmao cannot be taken seriously with their sledges.
 
Delusional poster's who don't know anything about cricket , don't know how well is Bumrah Bowling so far ,yes he didn't takes any wickets so far but bowling top class spell
:kp

Whats with beard? Most Aussies (current and past) don't grow beard (only rarely we see moustached guys like David Boon, Merv Hughes, Travis Head, etc) otherwise its all neatly shaven (including Ponting...) but they all have big mouths...

thats why i couldnt take them seriously either. especially midget ponting.

and paine lmao with his idiotic sledges. it was laughable. got destroyed by baby faced pant.

cummins hardly sledges.

warner another midget with short man syndrome who tries to act tough but atleast he has a scruffy beard i guess.
 
man these cricketers are tough as hell
getting hit in the body. potentially the head. taking blows to the fingers, elbows, forearms etc.
 
26 dots ball by bazballers on the Trott ? Is this record against them ? I think so :kp
 
Delusional poster's who don't know anything about cricket , don't know how well is Bumrah Bowling so far ,yes he didn't takes any wickets so far but bowling top class spell
:kp
Invest in learning some new words. Start speaking in hindi if English is not your cup of tea.
 
Scoring rate is 2.80. Slow but its fine as need to build this partnership. Plenty of time to attack later.
 
Cheers for a single in the Bazball era.🤣🤣🤣 Great pressure built by Siraj and Bumrah post lunch. :kp

Root does have a better record then Kallis ya know. That 55 avg is inflates due to that nonsense 505 avg vs Zimbabwe lol.

But yes kallis > Since he faced better bowlers and got his team out of troublesome situation. Not to mention just more memorable moments.

Root avg > 40 in every country except Bangladesh and aus.

Bangladesh doesnt count though due to putch doctoring + only playing 2 matches their

dont think he faced better bolwers per se. kalis that is. root has faced many good bowlers in this era.

its pretty even. but yea you are right, could go either way however root's under performance in aus holds him back.
thats why i put him below kalis.
 
Have just started to observe proceedings now...top threat for Eng so far 1.Siraj> Bumrah.


Akash Deep and Reddy the easy targets so far

When england plays fast: Tullebaz
When England plays slow: Pressure

This is why no one except 4 junkies on this forumn take you seriously.

I have 14K reactions and 90% of them are from me making fun of you 🤣

Kallis sucks in 3 countries
 
watch out for jurel
if he is allowed to bat, he is no less than pant. quality player
 
When they needed to play like this in 2nd test they played tullebaaz cricket 🤣🤣🤣🤣 :kp
 
No Bazball.

England playing under 3 an over

They are clearly nervous and mentally defeated
 
Flukes one in my opinion, the reddy ones
====
Since the start of 2002, only two Indian pacers struck twice in their first over of the innings in men's Tests.

Irfan Pathan against Pakistan at Karachi in 2006, where he took a hat-trick, and Nitish Kumar Reddy today ✨

just benefits from other bowlers putting pressure on batsmen. so they their chances vs him and then throw it away.
 
The way Rooooot plays softly with his hands and late, is a piece of art even for a forward defence.
 
does anyone actually play cricket games on ps5 or anything?
man i havent played it since 1999. that game was gooooood back then.

i keep seeing this ad pop up on pakpassion.
 
will be tough it seems. maybe 300 to 400 on the cards for england

india need to bat big in second innings. it gets easier to bat on day 3 and to an extent on day 4.
 
6 bowling options is not a bad tactic by India. All the bowlers will be kept fresh and rotated. You can use spinners frequently between 40-80 overs, especially if there are economical.
 
Root and Pope are bit of old school... I don't think the batsmen following have normal-ball game... (They are vaccinated with Bazball). So India should try to pick one wicket and the gate may get opened...
 
With this kind of batting we are always in the game. There was a run of 29 balls without a single run.

Good disciplined lines from all our bowlers.

Imagine what Archer might be thinking here. He is back on a slow pitch with absolutely no carry.
 
Indian fans : Bazball is disrespectful to cricket, who the hell do they think they are ,England should play normal test cricket.

Also Indian fans: why the hell are England playing conventionally. They should be playing Bazball. Cowards.


These guys move goalposts on the daily.
The point is that they had to switch their playing style in order to counter our disciplined bowling.

Its not about whether Bazball is good or not, that can be seen by Englands performance in last three WTCs

I am not sure anybody cares what ball they play. It doesn't really matter. Fact is India has turned them into playing cautiously.
 
proper batting. this is the right way to play
decent bowling too. keeping it tight.
nothing yet in the pitch

slow pitch
 
Only reason i want them to play bazball is to get wickets. That is the best way to nick a wicket or two on flat pitches.
 
Slightly double paced pitch with few balls carrying through at pace and a few keeping low.
Will get progressively harder in hot weather

Indian fans never said Bazball is disrespectful. We have always maintained bring it on. We even dished out flat tracks when Eng toured India last time. But it turned into Jaisball rather than Bazball.

It was brother @Mamoon who said Bazball is insulting as it was forcing someone like Root to play in certain fashion.Unless you are saying Mamoon is Indian....I am not sure how this charge is valid.
