What's new

England reach 53/3 at Stumps on Day 3, needing 482 runs to win 2nd Test against India

Eng is getting all luck here, but probably too late.
 
It is the most useless tail. Eng should try to wrap up quickly.
 
Moeen has bowled boundary ball in each of his first 9 overs. He has conceded 7 boundaries including a 6 in his first 9 overs in the first session on Day 1, that for me would cost England the game. "

He has regressed a lot..
 
Wish Jaddu was fit for last 2 tests to play in his home state..guess Axar will have to do.
 
Moeen is such an useless run leaker. He leaked about 50 extra runs in first inning.
 
Ashwin is a top class crciketer , with ball he is very intelligent , with bat he is tough nut to crack
 
Kohli still well ahead of any other Indian bstsman in this team in my opinion.
 
The way Kohli is playing, you can score runs here. Fully back or not allowing to spin.

He can still get out, but you give yourself good chance.

What he is actually saying that
2021 has been so far been all about test cricket because unexpected chases defends happened in these two months so cant say England will lose this
 
If you ask me i would say england openers and 1 down have to somehow stay on the crease for 20 overs atleast after that if root got settled we are here for exciting ending
 
Another 4 by Ashwin, these are very handy runs. Lead: 326 runs.
 
How is Ashwin able to sweep with such ease? England bowlers aren't able to get the same grip and bounce I guess like Ashwin and Axar got.
 
Moeen will be dropped. Might be his last test, ever. Unless he scores a match winning papi 100 :yk

He and Rohit have been the difference and India should be thankful to both of them :yk

Good luck chasing anything above 220 here. Even 180+ is a very tough task. Pathetic pitch but after 1st test, can we blame India?

I cant see that happening... Ashwin & Co will not be bowling half-volleys & full tosses like Moeen Ali. If they manage to pull this off, this would be one of their biggest victories ever.

So good to see a real England keeper again, not a Doctor Strangegloves.
 
Lol, Karthik and Sunny laying into bashers of this pitch.
 
What will be England stragety here ? Attacked or just play normal game .

Yeah, Karthik was like if there is a 6mm of grass on a pitch, seamers excelling on that pitch, then that is a sporting pitch accordingly to some misinformed souls.

Its as if spinners don't exist in cricket.

I am surprised you had to type this out loud, I thought this is common knowledge. He is our best batsman by some margin, none comes even close.
 
People were not happy with the state of 2016 pitches as England lost 4-0 on those pitches saying those pitches were too flat.

They're not happy with the pitch for this test as England may lose this test.

Get the drift, anyone?

Why shouldn’t Desi commies say snarky comments? Or is that only reserved for goras? Test cricket is hostile and that hostility should be reflected by home commentators too.

This. People have this tendency of taking things lying down.
 
Kohli 30 from 75 balls

Ashwin 30 from 34 balls


This is the unique cricketing ability of Ashwin , with players like this in the team is the reason India is a force in World Cricket

Have you been watching the match?? The English commentators have gone on & on about the spinning pitch, probably Gavaskar has had enough of their whining.
 
Great to see Kohli making some runs before all important DN test.

English have been particularly fond of whining over anything and everything they find in SC, from food, to pitches to hotels to roads and what not? This is nothing new for them.
 
Great to see Foakes stand up to Broad, this is proper old-school keeping.

What channel? I have heard nothing of the kind. No criticism of the pitch, and Gavaskar is talking about great wicketkeepers.

So what do you say about Warne & other Aussie commentators discussing openly that Cummins should have had targeted Pujara’s head in the last Aussie test? Was that unbiased & professional?
 
What a poor review from Root! Even poorer than what Kohli/Ashwin do regularly with DRS.
 
Lol what was that. Bat was altest half a meter away from the ball.
