England (465 & 373/5) cruise to a comfortable 5-wicket win over India (471 & 364) in the opening Test of the series

[kron]

sun is back ...no draw

Saw your post earlier

Bumrahs failures in second innings includes 1 test vs SA in 2021 away
Wtc final in 2021 but he played with an injury

Also failed vs England in the final test defending 378.

Those 3 mainly. Rest he has done well.

 

[Croma]

will bumrah flop for 3rd session in a row?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Has Gill won an IPL title as captain?

 

[mominsaigol]

@Ab Fan ATG Jadeja

 

[sweep_shot]

96 more to win.

 

[mominsaigol]

Under 100 now, England 80% chance of victory

 

[KingKhanWC]

Come on England, can not blow it against this avg bowling line up.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ok Bumrah is pushing full throttle right now. It’s on

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bumrah just fell in follow through

Bhai Dhyan se

 

[mominsaigol]

Many Pakistani people are nice. Have plenty of good Pakistani friends

It’s the government I hate. That’s it.

Same. I dont have indian friends but ive had indian chads at uni. Solid folks.

But at the end of the day some of us will never get along due to race issues.

You and I get along yes, but theirs a reason pK vs India war keeps happening on PP whether it is with me, or rana or someone else.

Some of us, particularly the older gen or those that have never travelled outside of their home country are very exclusive.

 

[sweep_shot]

Maiden from Bumrah (alleged chucker).

 

[mominsaigol]

I think its too high

 

[sweep_shot]

India lost all reviews.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bharat fans quite, India loses their last wicket, Hey Jude playing in the background and India dropping catches and missing chances. Beautiful Tuesday Evening innit.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Need some luck too

 

[Bhaijaan]

England reverse sweeping everything against Jadeja what the hell

 

[sweep_shot]

Yup.

 

[mominsaigol]

I think its too high

Called it

 

[deltexas]

Gill captaincy is very defensive and mind numbingly predictive. So unlike bazball. Its got to be more exciting, attacking and pro active. Having no slips or only 1 slip? In a test match ? Sorry but that's not acceptable. And get rid of trundler Thakur and midget Prasidh asap..

 

[mominsaigol]

Ik ive been trolling Bumrah bit what the hell? I've never seen him so harmless?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Jadeja must bowl slow if Stokes is reverse sweeping. It's harder to sweep a slow ball. Jadeja should know that. Noman Ali does this.

 

[sweep_shot]

Siraj is not bowling much.

Will he be dropped next game?

 

[RidiculousMan]

That's my first impression also. Looks to be a defensive captain

 

[sweep_shot]

85 more to win.

 

[mominsaigol]

That's my first impression also. Looks to be a defensive captain

Indians are going to badly miss Kohli and Rohit. They are not as bad as they have been made put to be.

They played a huge role in ct 2025 and wc 2024.

Ik the criticism in test is valid, but despite their lack of form, they were more aggressive.

This Indian side looks like the side from the 90's under sachin. Passive, non aggressive, lethargic

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is the most casual and lacklustre Indian test team on the field in a long time.

Pant just didn’t go for the catch , Stokes cleared gloved it.

One good thing for india is whatever can go wrong went wrong .prasid, thakur, karun , siraj lack of penetration, jadeja batting. Former 3 shouldn't be picked again.

 

[sweep_shot]

Missed catch.

Pant was lazy to move.

I am not creating general principle but what i have observed is that anti Pakistan agenda sells easily in india and their govt are riding on it for years. For pakistan its v clear we as public dont get to choose our govt.

But idk how indians were celebrating their operation sindoor as a success when it was a shameful act of cowardice. I was in my ancestral city bahawalpur at that time and i saw for myself what they call collateral damage in the form of a child being martyred.
Its not the place but Indian fellows dont be fooled by your govt. Ask them questions. Ask them what did they achieve. Why did they attack populated cities. If pakistan carried out retaliation on military sites it were more than capable of targeting your populated cities as well. But there are ways of war too.

Pakistanis here or abroad whom i met no one ever gave vote for anti india narrative but we see how it sells in india.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Misfield , 4

Atrocious Atrocious

These players don’t know what it takes to play test cricket

 

[mominsaigol]

Who did that misfield? Was it jaiswal?

 

[mominsaigol]

Who did that misfield? Was it jaiswal?

I swear if it was him, I am going to ran sack this little filth

 

[sweep_shot]

Prasidh is back.

 

[deltexas]

If Ind lose , it will be devastating to their morale. Dont think they can come back after this loss which is happening unless theres a miraculous turnaround by Ind bowlers

 

[mominsaigol]

Misfield , 4

Atrocious Atrocious

These players don’t know what it takes to play test cricket

Who did that misfield? My concentration was off, I didnt get a good look at him

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Who did that misfield? Was it jaiswal?

Nair bad bounce

 

[sweep_shot]

Who did that misfield? Was it jaiswal?

Couldn't recognize him (new player). Probably Sai or Karun Nair.

 

[sweep_shot]

76 to win.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lol Pakistani lad with a beer

 

[GLORY OF '92]

It's coming home

 

[sweep_shot]

300 is up.

ENG - 300/4.

71 to win.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is terrible bowling so far

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This is terrible bowling so far

Both attacks are a joke.

 

[sweep_shot]

It's coming home

 

[Amjid Javed]

England should win it fron here, unless bumrah shows some fire

 

[mominsaigol]

Jadeja needs to be held accountable. You cant allow someone to reverse sweep you 24/7?

 

[sweep_shot]

Stokes is out.

302/5.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Out

Stokes gone finally


Bit too late though.
England barely 60 runs away with 5 wickets in hand

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Jadeja needs to be held accountable. You cant allow someone to reverse sweep you 24/7?

The new Mamoon for sure

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Terrible shot

 

[neonoir]

Stokes has lost the plot!

 

[sweep_shot]

Terrible shot

Yup. Unnecessary.

England were cruising.

 

[Croma]

boringly one sided ... oh wicket falls...lol

 

[mominsaigol]

The new Mamoon for sure

 

[Energy]

Stokes was always deliberately playing the risk. Its poor batting. Opens the door for an Indian win.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

England should win it fron here, unless bumrah shows some fire

Yeah Root needs to finish it now or a collapse is possible

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yup. Unnecessary.

England were cruising.

Especially after the field was changed

 

[Croma]

Root should take em home

 

[Amjid Javed]

England's tail isn't that great, 1 more wicket for India and if that's Root and its game in balance

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Stupid from Stokes...Joe Root and Chris Woakes the only experienced duo now

 

[Ball Blazer]

list to be updated soon

 

[sweep_shot]

67 to win.

 

[mominsaigol]

Root needs to show why he's > Tenda now

 

[sweep_shot]

Stupid from Stokes...Joe Root and Chris Woakes the only experienced duo now

Jamie Smith can bat.

Even tail can add runs as we saw in 1st innings.

England should win, unless they play stupid cricket.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Required run rate is too low...need to take more single doubles and target the weak bowlers.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Jamie Smith can bat.

Even tail can add runs as we saw in 1st innings.

England should win, unless they play stupid cricket.

Jamie Smith is a big player for small occasions unfortunately so far.

 

[sweep_shot]

11 overs away from the new ball.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

11 overs away from the new ball.

This may induce error...but Root need to guide them now

 

[mominsaigol]

India doesnt have any option besides Bumrah. Root aint getting dismissed from spin

 

[mominsaigol]

This may induce error...but Root need to guide them now

Yeah they need to ensure only 20-25 runs needed with no wickets lost by the time new ball comes in

 

[RidiculousMan]

Jamie is better off attacking here. Defense is not his game.

 

[sweep_shot]

This may induce error...but Root need to guide them now

Yup.

New ball may cause some drama.

England need to keep wickets so that tail doesn't face new ball (against Bumrah).

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Jamie is better off attacking here. Defense is not his game.

Yes, he may throw his wicket defending

 

[sweep_shot]

59 to win.

 

[AAli98]

Cheerleader Shastris voice when eng hit a boundary.. at least try to be neutral

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Yes, he may throw his wicket defending

Just like Afridi

On this pitch both would ve scored tho

 

[mominsaigol]

Bumrah: Mujh sei bowling nahi ho rahi

 

[mominsaigol]

On this pitch both would ve scored tho

Kohli yes, Rohit is iffy

 

[The Bald Eagle]

I am damn sure two Indians would be praying for Indian loss..
