What's new

England [396/7d] beat India [107 & 130] by an innings and 159 runs to take a 2-0 series lead

Have the clouds returned again? Has the pitch changed as [MENTION=141520]troodon[/MENTION] so expertly told us yesterday?
 
How long can Rahul concentrate?

Will Pujara cause another run out today?

Stay tuned..
 
Indian management needed a reality check, so I wont be entirely disappointed with a loss here. Heads need to roll, players and coaches need to be criticised and selectors need to be sacked.
 
Its raining...will you stop the damn game umpire?? If it were Eng batting, players would be in dressing room by now :facepalm:

Time to move on from Vijay. But the question is whom do we replace him with?
 
Rahul and Vijay proving to be as bad as Sami Aslam and Shan Masood on this tour.
 
Captain sahib bottling out? Right time to have back issues. Sorry just had to type it.
 
Anyone complaining about this light drizzle needs to get himself checked. Curran of all people was batting easily here with Woakes :))
 
Not sure but we always take light roller i guess and other teams mostly take heavy roller. Is there any effect of it?

Sami - he didn’t play the tour just gone.

But he did excellent on the 2016 tour.

No the Indian pair have done poor because India prepared poorly - they didn’t even want to play on the first day of Essex’s tour match - rockstar attitude doesn’t go down well outside your comfort zone.
 
My God these nasty English have changed the pitch again just in time for India to bat
 
The thing that is so frustrating about kl Rahul is you get the impression that he just doesn't think enough about his game. He goes out and plays on impulse and talent and while that may work in the ipl and against lesser teams, it wont work against top teams.
 
I am telling you that England made a huge mistake batting today. Those 30 runs will not make them bat again but they could have 3-4 wickets here. If India escape, mark my words they will come a charged unit since they would see this as a get out of jail card and with England brittle top order plus bumrah anything is possible.

The thing that is so frustrating about Umar Akmal is you get the impression that he just doesn't think enough about his game. He goes out and plays on impulse and talent and while that may work in the PSL and against lesser teams, it wont work against top teams.




I know he got dropped from PSL too

Indian batting can't win a test in England

I'd go for Prawn stir fry with vegetables and noodles for main course with the salad and for dessert, cherry bakewell tart.

Hah? Umar Akmal?

The guy is irrelevant, he hasn't played a meaningful game in over 2 years

Not sure whether they are genuinely posting the lunch menu there or posting the menu of what they are doing to indian batsman here at Lords. I mean Rahul looked like a Roasted Chicken Leg here against Anderson and less said about Vijay the better.

Root's idiocy come back to bite him, needless to bat today. Could've gotten a few more wickets

Even minnow lankans have started to mock us for our poor performance.😢

And we don't have anything off note in England to shut these minnows.

Hahahaha this is hilarious, everybody loves to see India getting smashed :yk
 
England taking India apart. Awful performance by India in this series. Expected a lot more from them.
 
Graeme Swann seems very angry in the commentary box. Criticizing Joe Root and saying that it was the dumbest decision to bat for 30 minutes. Should have bowled straight after seeing those Jaffas from Shami

Yeah Woakes, Shakib, Shadab, Curran are really poor. Hardik has already set the world on fire, there will remain only one name in Lords board and thats Hardik
 
Shows how poor ICC’s ranking system is in tests. Atleast they can increase the points of away series and decrease the points lf home series. Its very rare in sports that no 1 ranked team or player is totally destroyed

They need to hv 2 rankings .. home and away.. simple
 
Test cricket rankings have become so predictable, a team with home season climbs up the leader and team with away season falls down. This has been happening for sometime now
 
Mark this Post, Pujara about to play an absolute blinder! - You read it first here.
 
I don't see the point of two rankings, but I do see the point of incorporating home and away into the table in terms of weightage

It won't make much difference, because those home wins will count for less, home losses will have a greater penalty in the system, thus we, for example, will actually not benefit much
 
Hey guys whats up with lankan cricket? I was just seeing their schedule, they are playing test series almost every month from November till world cup.

Its not about our benifit but just the overall ranking system. We drew the series in Eng and lost 1 series after almost 8 years of cricket in UAE
