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

[InziRules]

After almost 8 years they have lost just 1 series.

Also drew with South Africa. I think you'll find the home track bullies haven't lost at home

Drawing is not losing but I guess where you are coming from. I wrote in another thread, give pitches like India, Srl, Ban develop for their home season to Pak and you will see not only Yasir, Shadab creating havoc but Gohar, Asghar, Mir Nawaz, Raza Hassan will also bamboozle the opposition

They lost to Eng in 2012 i think

 

[Titan24]

Pujara should open the next match, atleast will consume some balls. Feel bad for him, team doesnt have confidence in him and he had a poor county season. First match he plays and captain runs him out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not much happening

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rain is on the way again

 

[LastManstanding]

Looks like India will surpass their fist innings total.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rahane what a shot lol

Should have left it easily

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rahane - can't catch, can't bat

 

[LastManstanding]

Pujara should open the next match, atleast will consume some balls. Feel bad for him, team doesnt have confidence in him and he had a poor county season. First match he plays and captain runs him out

At least he played first class matches. Rest of the batsmen we're selected on the basis of their performance in shorter formats.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Poor from Rahane was getting very lucky.

 

[troodon]

Overrated Rahane gone. What has he done in this tour?

 

[Titan24]

At least he played first class matches. Rest of the batsmen we're selected on the basis of their performance in shorter formats.

To be honest I am really surprised by judgement lf Indian fans and selectors now a days it was the same problem with Pak some years ago that who ever can play some crisp shots whther in the air or in the ground he was started to be considered for selection even in tests and was hyped to moon.

 

[Titan24]

India should consider this batting lineup next match

Pujara
Dhawan/Pant/ Rahane
Nair
Kohli
Rahane/Pant
Rahul (wk) (can play his shots at this position)
Ashwin
Jadeja/Pandya (Depending upon conditions)

 

[Pete Rose]

The cricinfo commentary team has had little to do this match, considering their penchant for writing a Naipaul novel on every shot by Kohli and the others

 

[troodon]

Kohli

Nair is a joke.

 

[Titan24]

Nair is a joke.

You never know. The guy once scored a triple hundred in a test. Technically he looks compact and atleast not as shabby as some playing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Top delivery!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yes Nasser what a quality delivery.

 

[James]

That last wicket from Broad was an absolute ripperoo.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why not Karthik or Ashwin?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pandya had no clue where that went.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathetic effort with bat again from india. Are they on a fishing trip or here to play cricket?

 

[mkyawar]

I still feel that this match should have been finished by now. Someone should ask Root was he on drugs this morning as to why England were still batting

 

[Noman]

Pathetic effort with bat again from india. Are they on a fishing trip or here to play cricket?

Indian batsman are the worst batsman. Where is mamoon?

 

[Ab Fan]

Stuart Broad got Pujara out with a delivery that was pretty much the ball of the match. Phenomenal!

A pleasure to watch him when he is on fire.

 

[Josh]

Kohli : we want to play attacking cricket and dominate

Rest of the team CRR: 1.78

 

[barah_admi]

Another embarrassing, nation shaking drubbing on the way

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli should first learn to use DRS properly. He just blindly goes for it.

 

[Sam99]

Kohli should first learn to use DRS properly. He just blindly goes for it.

He is gone.

 

[bujhee kom]

Gone now!

 

[Boi]

Elite umpiring from Aleem Dar.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Aleem dar, wow I am impressed. On the other hand, poor review from Kohli and being a captain, you should be a role model to how to use reviews.

There you go. Poor review from captain, and his fellow mate follows with another poor review.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Broad on fire, wants to keep his spot. Rashid to be dropped for Stokes imo, he hasn't bowled at all IIRC

 

[babajee]

Kohli in England

 

[Sam99]

Aleem dar, wow I am impressed. On the other hand, poor review from Kohli and being a captain, you should be a role model to how to use reviews.

I can bet he has always used review when ever he is given out. It doesn't matter how much plumb or close it gets for him.

 

[CricVet]

Someone needs to bump Aleem's umpiring thread. BEAUTY!

 

[Syed1]

2-0 coming up.... But India still winning series 3-2 right?

 

[babajee]

Karthik

 

[Syed1]

Yesterday it was flat pitch but today it is minefield

 

[Robert]

Hat-trick ball........

Awwwwwwwww.

 

[Oligochaetes]

This should be the END for Karthik

 

[bujhee kom]

This is just sad. Dominant at home - yes but cringeworthily bad overseas especially in England.

 

[battler]

We will not even cros our first innings total at this rate

 

[bujhee kom]

Yesterday it was flat pitch but today it is minefield

 

[Oligochaetes]

Highest quality bowling by England

 

[Robert]

Broad on one of his rolls when he looks like Courtney Walsh. He could run through India here.

 

[Sam99]

Broad on one of his rolls when he looks like Courtney Walsh. He could run through India here.

more like Curtly Ambrose's spells.

 

[Saurav]

Broad on one of his rolls when he looks like Courtney Walsh. He could run through India here.

Who would you replace when Stokes comes back?Surely need a spin option

 

[battler]

Raining again

 

[Syed1]

England probably just need 45-60mins more to get the last four wickets

 

[Syed1]

I forgot Sobers is still playing.... Match still very much in India's hands, England staring down the barrel, 1-1 coming up

 

[James]

Karthik is dire.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Rain ) ) ))

 

[The_Odd_One]

India should pack their bags and go back home.

 

[akki]

England probably just need 45-60mins more to get the last four wickets

Are you kidding me ? 45 -60 minutes for what ?
They need 5-7 more overs at most.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Karthik is dire.

Youngsta Beauty.

 

[The_Odd_One]

I forgot Sobers is still playing.... Match still very much in India's hands, England staring down the barrel, 1-1 coming up

Sobers’ can’t event put his bat on the ball.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kohli on the phone to BCCI to produce rank turners as soon as they get back home so they can forget 5-0 thrashing they will get here.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

India should pack their bags and go back home.

And you believe the wives/gfs of cricketers will let them miss out on free honeymoon

They should in all honesty try to finish losing within 2 days

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Sobers’ can’t event put his bat on the ball.

Why are you belting sobers. He scored a single

 

[akki]

Sobers’ can’t event put his bat on the ball.

And you have no idea how arrogant this dublicate barbados is.

 

[akki]

Kohli on the phone to BCCI to produce rank turners as soon as they get back home so they can forget 5-0 thrashing they will get here.

Kohli has already made mind to not play rest of series as h e was already doing acting of his back ache .He knows 5-0 is coming up.

 

[Robert]

Who would you replace when Stokes comes back?Surely need a spin option

Stokes might not be back for a while.

Depends on the next deck and weather. It might make more sense to bring in Moeen for Stokes, if it is dry and sunny.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Broad is a monster when on song. Can run through sides!

Makes it look easy.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Kohli has already made mind to not play rest of series as h e was already doing acting of his back ache .He knows 5-0 is coming up.

This Indian team doesn't deserve a winner like VK.

They should be ashamed of themselves. Win or lose but show some heart

(And I'd say same thing if it were the Pakistani team receiving such epic phainta)

 

[Robert]

Kohli has already made mind to not play rest of series as h e was already doing acting of his back ache .He knows 5-0 is coming up.

It will be a different matter if the expected happens and we go back to sunshine and dry wickets. 30C days in another week.

Man they dnt care. They made ravi shastri coach by getting anil kumble out . Virat is not a good captain at all ,even his 10 years IPL record shows this.
These players dnt like to practice much ,have arrogance like kings. Our foolish fans are investing emotions in wrong direction. 125 crore people and yet this rubbish team all we can afford.

 

[Robert]

66-6, the Scorecard of the Beast.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tea taken already.

 

[Thomaskutty]

Will it rain for the rest of the evening and tomorrow?

 

[mak36]

"Kohli's back has gone because he's been carrying the Indian team."

 

[Oligochaetes]

Even rain is not ready to save India

 

[Oligochaetes]

And you have no idea how arrogant this dublicate barbados is.

I heard he is enjoying many affairs in bollywood. Is it correct? It seems he isn't putting that much effort in improving his cricket.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

"Kohli's back has gone because he's been carrying the Indian team."

)

Ashwin should lose at least 10kgs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Broad is back after Tea

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin always looks good with bat , he should be played as an allrounder.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin gets that away

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandaya , very good shot .

 

[bujhee kom]

Broad frequently bowls unplayable balls. Top draw quick.
