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

I think the ball is an issue! Is it so that England are able to do so much bazball activity because of combination of ineffective ball (for opposition bowlers) + home conditions (for their bowlers to exploit anyways)?

OR do they go to an extent of ball-doctoring (when opposition plays, a different quality inferior ball)? Hmm... Such conspiracy will be only against India (our neighbors also will find interest only with that)

If the ball used in Indian home tests are used in SENA, I guess Indian bowlers will see a lot more success!!!

Crying has already started. Hahahah. So fun. Hahaha
 
England is playing brave cricket. Their approach is fearless. Kudos to the management.

They have belief that they can score over 350 runs on last day of a test.
 
Accidentally pressed the unignore button to find this gem from devad :vk2 .

For his sake I hope its not 10 wickets. Even 9 would save face :virat
 
ATG Jadeja should have been used above the trash Shardul. Trash Shardul has costed India this game. Gill must go to Gambhir and confront against him for Gambhir’s obsession of picking players of his own IPl team. :inti
 
If jadeja is atg so is is noman and sajid khan on those spin pitches dont forget what a fraud is jadeja on non spin pitch
Let Noman and Sajid first pick 300 wickets and score 3000 runs at bowl avg under 25 and bat avg above 30. Then I will happily agree with you that they are ATG also.

It is like saying Mohammad Abbas and Bhuvi Kumar are ATG, just like James Anderson due to being good in overcast conditions. But that doesn’t make sense because they haven’t done it years after years like Jimmy Anderson did.
 
Lol where are those who were predicting easy win for mera bharat mahaan. Hahah
I don't know who said like that! At the most we felt India was ahead as scoring 350+ on 5th day is difficult... At the most we thought 20% chances of Indian win + 70% chance of draw (especially due to rain) + 10% chance of England win... If England don't lose more than 2 wickets in the next session, they are going to win this (their bazball is going to come in full effect)

Lol many of your countrymen said it would be easy to win and now they are hiding. LOL.

India's victory is out of question but they can still draw thanks to rain otherwise England will win this.
 
England in a comfortable position to chase this total down. Crazy to lose this test after having great batting starts in both innings and scoring 5 centuries in a test. First time ever for us.

No team has lost after 5 individual hundreds in a teat match. On the verge of creating history.

Every indian who supported Jaiswal and jadeja deserves an axe to the head, biggest losers of this generation

I will leave Jaiswal. His catching hurt us but he still is a valuable player for us.

The entire bowling line up other than Bumrah let us down.
 
I hated him for the Starc sledge. You’re just a kid and the other guy is a tournaments legend and a test great. He was made to look stupid the entire series by Starc and co afterwards
Lol, you discovered the secret reason why I hate him just like I hate siraj :virat
 
There is no way we are bowling the full quota of overs today and coming out with an L.

Somebody get some wickets asap
 
Doesn’t seem to be bowling full throttle. Holding back a bit. Probably strategic. Not the kind of pitch you wanna try too hard at in the first test itself of a 5 test series.
Yes, we are grateful that bumrah is an anime dragon ball character who has decided to grace us by using only 10% of his powa.

We havent even seen his final form
 
Weather Permitting, if England can get to Tea with 8 - 10 wickets in hand, and runs required 150-165, we'd be firm favorites.

Also, how ordinary is Jadeja outside of India. Chalk and cheese
 
One weakness with Bumrah( for Indian fans who consider him GOAT) is that he often disappoints in 4th inning run chase in Test matches. I remember he did the same vs SA too when Bavuma and Elgar really chased down 250 runs in final innings. The pitch might have eased out but India were ahead in that game throughout and SA chased down the total. Same happened in 2022 when England chased down 370. :inti
