What's new

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

Jaddu is economical. Bashir went for plenty too and he is not an all rounder like Jadeja.
 
Yes Prasidh is a hit the deck bowler, his bowling will work on hard pitches of Australia & South Africa.

Arshdeep & even Mukesh Kumar should be picked in next test.
I never understood why India does not take swing bowlers to England and NZ. Its a shame that a bowler like Bhuvi has hadly played any Test in England. India took so many bums who cannot swing the ball to England and wonder why they don't win often. Even a 110k trundler like Praveen Kumar was handful in English conditions. The reason is, he can actually swing and move the ball. Something bowlers like Prasidh or Harshit cannot do.
 
Momin bhai continue with your trolling tomorrow. Aaj ka din khatam ho gaya.

Kal milte hai.

Enjoy.
 
Pakistan and Bangladesh are doing poor but that doesnt mean you guys bring them in every thread just to feed your ego.

While I can understand people having an issue with me due to my agressive nature if someone is aggressive with me,

I cant understand why you'd bring in irrelevant topics disguised as racism to feed your ego towards @sweep_shot or any other poster similar to him.

This is a Pakistani forumn. Why on earth would you expect Pakistani/bangaldeshi fans to be nice to the indian team lol. Theirs are indian forumns you could migrate to.

Don't get touchy or sentimental of people say somwthing about india. It gets annoying and turns you into trolls.
India ll never be the best teat team for me because they never played one team that could challenege them at home with misbah and younis. And even now with all this talk and everything i am sure if we play them in wtc in england they ll lose to us as they lost to aus and nz. India in a good pace bowling pitch is as bad as any other team.
 
The quality of Ashwin is missing and you won’t get it in Jadeja but Jadeja makes up with better batting ability.

Naw, they'll beat PK for sure. UAE pak(2014-2016) folds them into next week though
 
India should have scored 600 here. They folded once Gill and Pant got out. Our tail started from Karun Nair,.
 
The guy retired before sydney it shows management didnt trust him there too and he wasnt getting picked
Ashwin and Jadeja are just slightly improved version of sajid and noman. Their better spinners on pitches tailor made for them and just like Sajid and Noman they will outperform other spinners on said pitches.

Beyond that they suck and wouldnt have had a career if india didnt help them.

Difference is that india can bat well on home dens while PK cant which is why wi beat us in one game.
 
Prasidh is in ODI mode. Going at close to 6 rpo.

Siraj blows hot and cold. Which means outside of Bumrah, there is no real threat in Indian attack.

Not sure what is purpose of Shardul. He is not an allrounder. He can bat a bit and bowl a bit. Very poor selection. He was decent a few years ago. Not now. India should have picked Sundar or Nitish. Both at least bat 10 times better than Shardul.

Bumrah will lose his right arm by the end of the series if he is the only wicket taking bowler that India has.
Why Pandya doesn't play red ball?
 
Joe Root c Nair b Bumrah 28 (58b 2x4 0x6) SR: 48.27

Bumrah has now dismissed Root 10 times in Test cricket.​
 
This whole side is bumrah or bust. Well @RexRex You might finally get your wish. Bumrah's first 10 wicket haul.

Looks like he'll be taking all 20 wickets himself now that krishna and thakur are their to shoot him in the foot 🤣
 
Another reason why i think bumrah ll always avg less than others is because he has no one to share wickets with. No one. Teams are happy to see him off and not score anything against him
You could say he is lone warrior and other bowlers lose all the pressure but the thing is even if india is losing bumrah ll still get figures of 2 for 40 or 3 for 50 which ll just improve his stats. He should get 10 wkt hauls that ll singlehandedly win his team some matches. Abbas and yasir shah have done that in England i am sure bumrah can too.
 
Now comes Brooks, punish India lad. Show how good you are at pace. End bumrah today
 
Almost another one .

When GOAT Bumrah bowl pitch is Flat or not doesn't matter.

:kp
 
Root might ve failed today but he is one of the best batters of pace bowling. He has so much time to play his shots.
 
Jaiswal runied the Bumrah day by dropping the pope catch otherwise he would have taken 5 fer :kp

Yez, eat humble pie, lad.

Bumrah doesn't have a good supporting cast like Marshall and Mcgrath did. One-man shows like him need to be appreciated and looked after.

Ofcourse hes a one man show when everyone else is tatti.

Imagine what would have happened if he wasnt their.

He is 31 going onto 32.

Very soon india will head back into the dark days of bowling given their current pile. Despite people hating on kohli and rohit they played huge roles in victory for 2024 and 2025.

What will happens in 4-5 years with no bumrah, Kohli, Pandya, rohit, Ashwin, Jadeja 🤣🤣🤣.

Very very bleak test bowling lineup for India.
 
What a bowler Bumrah is. Anyone that says he is not the best ever fast bowler from Asia, need to get their heads checked. The other Indian bowlers are awful trundlers though which makes his efforts even more special.
 
Terrible day but still we are alright position. Need to bowl a well on tomorrow morning . :kp
 
2 dropped catch and a no ball runied the day . Really feeling sorry for Bumrah. :kp
 

Pope makes gutsy century before Bumrah late show​


Ollie Pope's gutsy century led England's resurgence only for Jasprit Bumrah to give India the crucial wicket of Joe Root late on day two of the first Test.

Pope, preferred to rising star Jacob Bethell at number three, repaid England's faith with 100 not out at Headingley.

The ball after Pope completed his century, Bumrah had Root caught at first slip to leave England 209-3 - all three wickets falling to the pace maestro.

England are 262 adrift of India's 471, a total that should have been much greater.

Despite Rishabh Pant completing a thrilling century, the tourists lost their last seven wicket for 41 runs. Captain Ben Stokes and Josh Tongue claimed four wickets apiece.

Under a brooding sky - play was held up for 40 minutes by rain - England were faced with the threat of Bumrah, who promptly had Zak Crawley caught at slip.

Bumrah was electrifying, but England dug in through a stand of 122 between Ben Duckett and Pope. Duckett was dropped off Bumrah, Pope edged the same bowler through the slips.

Duckett fell for 62 to Bumrah's second spell, in which Pope was dropped at third slip by Yashasvi Jaiswal on 60.

In the evening sunshine, Root overturned being given lbw. Bumrah was summoned for one more spell. Though he could not prevent Pope's milestone, he snatched the bigger prize of Root.

Incredibly, there was still time for Harry Brook to be caught off a Bumrah no-ball. It was a heart-stopping end to an engrossing day.

Whenever Bumrah Play and performing well, some lossers like check the Bumrah action. 🤡 :kp
 
Siraj really blows hot and cold, he has not delivered on the initial promise he showed in his career and has become inconsistent. India's bowling attack looks heavily dependent on Bhumrah but such is the class of Bhumrah that he can run through a team on his own. Krishna is a spray gun.
 
No support from other bowlers. No support from fielders.

Bumrah deserves better than these jokers. Should have easily had a 5fer here.
