England vs India | 1st Test | Edgbaston | Aug 1-5, 2018 | Day 2 Thread

Kohli is dropped like 3 - 4 times and has good luck today. Should score big today.
 
Cook drops one............. What the eff is going on... please check the ball, please check everyone's hands.. What did they have during lunch?
 
Bhuvi was such a big loss in these conditions. So much swing on offer, even for Stokes.
 
Two dropped catches in two balls.
[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] the Alastair Cook slip fielding thread might need a bump :misbah
 
Worst performance ever, Rahul Rahane ,we haven't replaced any of our Fab 4 if this what we have bunch of superstars.
 
Kohli clueless against Anderson.

How many times has he managed to get him to nick the ball?

He must be on his 5th life by now :)))
 
Mark my words England will have to pay for this. They have the worst slip cordon backed by India. India could have been 100/7 . Will not be surprised if Pnadya and Kohli hurt them. Remember Pandya was dropped against SA and he scored 80. Same thing happen now.
 
This is one of the most testing conditions i have seen India play. They have to leave the balls. Since pitch has no pace it can come back and get you out.
 
Bhuvi would have not let english players score this much. Bhuvi was a big big loss.india wud score around 150 runs. Its swinging like hell. Pandy wud be like ,where tge hell i am..
 
You need loads of luck to ride this session. Just wow bowling from England. Indian bowlers are not even close to this bowling line up. Only Shami is somewhat an exception.

Was he dropped or caught of no ball against SA???
 
10 overs, 45/0 ... and as soon as we see cloud cover, English bowlers become unplayable. Amazing.
 
Their experience is the difference. They consistently hit the same spot over and over and over and over.
 
Players are hyped the most when they are absent

I was looking for it, but can't find it :(

He is so bad...

That surprises me.

I remember Sky making a big thing of it from the Pakistan series. It's fair to say he's continuing where he left off...
 
It's only a cloud cover and English bowlers are all over Indians..

Ishant Sharma doesnt have experience? Yes may be needs to play 300 test matches to get bit of that. 😜
 
Tgere shud be rule that cricket wont be allowed under covers. How tge hell you gonna score here man.
 
I am not sure many batsmen in the world would have had it easy in this session. Impeccable line and length from everyone.
 
Counter attack from Pandya. Wow what a talent, surely England must be shivering with fear now
 
"More catches being dropped than microphones at the minute"

:)))
 
Amongst all this carnage I had completely forgotten about Broad.
 
I think this is pandyas chance to get a quick 50 or 100. luck on his side, catch dropped and drs saves him. Still do not understand why does Cook field in the slip. Dropped dollies against Pakistan
 
Kohli batting on the most difficult 24 runs he has ever scored in his life.. Am sure a lot of people in the stadium are waiting to drop the mike... :misbah
 
From current situation, Indians will have to play out of their skin to come anywhere close to Eng's total. Ball is doing enough and they may not cross 200 here.

Lmao, I am happy as long as he stays notout. Just don't allow those mic-drops. :))
 
Conditions getting bit better now than before ?Bit less swing which was there like crazy in last 15 -20overs.
 
Clearly there is no improvement in our batting per se, it's time we replace the entire top order and enough chances given to Rahul he has done nothing to show he deserves those chances ,I don't see the difference between him and Rohit.

At least the U-19 coached by Rahul will have more application than this lot.

Talk about overreaction :facepalm:

This is only 1st innings of 10 possible.
 
India has to work really really hard to make some runs here. Very hard work compared to first 10 overs.
 
India has to wait for the ball to get really old to counter attack. Ball is still moving around. It is already 40 overs old.
 
Ball is seaming around as well. It is not just swing now. It is unfair not to appreciate consistent bowling by England.
 
Next match get woakes for broad. Much better bowler and also makes the batting strong.

He is the savior for India at this point. Bowling on both sides. Kohli absolutely had nothing on his legs for 6 or 7 overs from Anderson

Anderson had better of kohli imo. Got few edges but were dropped/short. Probably the best spell i have seen anderson bowl in long time.
 
India's hope is Root as a captain lol Stokes is bowling his 10th over in a row. Come on Root save us.

Who told you he will get 10? If so he will get cemented in the side permanently! There are many people in the team & team management who don't want that to happen!
 
Even with all those edges, dropped catches, Pandya is looking more confident and better than Rahane.
 
Still some movement. But those two tough bowlers are out of the attack after long spells. It kind of helps Pandya. To his credit he is not throwing it away.
 
No matter how well Pandaya performs with bat, I think it is obvious that Kuldeep should be replacing him the next match.
 
I have a feeling both kohli and pandya will get century and half century. Not because they are playing well but luck is on heir side. England has to hit the stumps since Ennglands slip catching is worse than hafeez defense against steyn.
