England vs India | 1st Test | Edgbaston | Aug 1-5, 2018 | Day 3 Thread

[shaaik]

I'm following on internet, but damn I could feel the tension. Also, I've watched cricket for years now and I don't think there's a player as impactful as Kohli when it comes to the significance of his wicket during a tense chase.

You just know that it's game over once u get kohli..

 

[mkyawar]

Is malan still in the slips?

 

[InziRules]

I think Rahane will be out soon. Staying in the crease is not the right way imo.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Cook should be removed from the slips.

 

[TeamPak95]

You just know that it's game over once u get kohli..

Right ??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England wasted this test match.

 

[Mainul]

Kohli is such a champion batsman.Indis is so lucky to have him.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Rahane is out!Curran gets the wicket!

 

[InziRules]

That just shows how bad Winviz is. Not even the most biased fan would think it's 65% to India. 50-50 right now.

 

[Mainul]

England wasted this test match.

It is a bit early to say that.

 

[InziRules]

I think Rahane will be out soon. Staying in the crease is not the right way imo.

Called it )

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It is a bit early to say that.

Doubt it.

 

[BlackShadow]

Unreal incompetence. Rahane departs too. :

 

[Syed1]

India will continue believing till King is there

 

[Sam99]

Broad will get kohli in this innings.

 

[ManFan]

I want Curran to get a five-fer.

Kid has heart.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Decision stands after third umpire reviews it.

 

[Syed1]

These Rahul Pahuls Rahane Sahanay are just ghar ke shaer....

 

[InziRules]

That was a dreadful, dreadful shot

 

[JaDed]

Damn this ,not one player is able to take any responsibility whatsoever!!

 

[Sam99]

These Rahul Pahuls Rahane Sahanay are just ghar ke shaer....

Rahane was our best batsman in most difficult conditions not long ago.

 

[JaDed]

These Rahul Pahuls Rahane Sahanay are just ghar ke shaer....

Rahane is not even Ghar ka Sher, and away he is gone useless now.

 

[BlackShadow]

Our bowlers and Kohli have carried this club level batting for way too long. Maybe we deserve to lose so that a bunch of these passengers can be kicked out.

 

[TeamPak95]

Rahane out. It's Kohli or bust at this point. If he pulls this off, then this has to be one of his best chases, certainly best test chase.

 

[Big Mac]

Ooooooh, Ashwin promoted up the order

 

[Titan24]

This match has been mainly Kohli vs Sam Curran both have been giving their all just to make their team win

 

[InziRules]

20+ overs left? This will be over today, if England are to win

 

[JaDed]

I want Curran to get a five-fer.

Kid has heart.

How come Desi players never get such praise after playing at home.

 

[BlackShadow]

These Rahul Pahuls Rahane Sahanay are just ghar ke shaer....

Rahane is useless only in India, outside he is our best bat along with Kohli.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Nice Rahane....very nice...chasing a wide ball...lovely...

 

[BlackShadow]

Ashwin is a better batsman than half of our top order, and I am not exaggerating.

 

[mkyawar]

Ashwin can be dangerous. I feel sometimes he is the second best batsman after kohli

 

[Oligochaetes]

It's better if India send all tailenders before Pandya and Kartik....Kohli might bat more freely that way

 

[Sam99]

Ashwin can be dangerous. I feel sometimes he is the second best batsman after kohli

He is these days without a doubt.

 

[Big Mac]

How come Desi players never get such praise after playing at home.

Desi inferiority complex means they want nothing more than a compliment from white folks.

 

[Mainul]

What a shot by Ashwin.

 

[Titan24]

How come Desi players never get such praise after playing at home.

Shadab got praised. Its just that all the cricket fraternity have a soft spot for 19, 20 year old players

 

[AFM]

Sobers not trusted here. Ashwin promoted.

 

[Rahul1]

Kohli, nhi hoga tm se chase

Matlab kuch bhi?

 

[introvert]

Rahane's feet are not moving at all. Looks low on confidence.

 

[Oligochaetes]

126 more runs. Feels like a mountain even with Kohli at the crease

 

[Mainul]

This game isn't over by any means.India can still win.Go England go..

 

[Titan24]

Desi inferiority complex means they want nothing more than a compliment from white folks.

I doubt he would have been praised as much if he would have been 29 year old guy. He is a young guy showing lot of heart. I dont remeber a 19,20 year old playing for India for some time

 

[ManFan]

How come Desi players never get such praise after playing at home.

If they are nineteen and get a four-fer’ in the first innings followed by a counter-attacking 50 when the team is 90-7, followed by great bowling, than they will receive praise irrespective of where they are performing.

 

[KhanPredator]

Conditions. He played the match where England beat Pakistan by an inning and a lot of runs.

Yeah but the conditions were quite similar in May, if not it more in favor of the bowlers

 

[TeamPak95]

Sam Curran, what a find for England. Street fighter this guy

 

[Arham_PakFan]

After the first shot,Ashwin not looking comfortable at all.Should give Kohli the strike somehow

 

[mkyawar]

They showed have continued with sam curran. probably get ashwin lbw

 

[mkyawar]

Ashwin can hit stokes for 4

 

[Usman Chadda]

Matlab kuch bhi?

Haan bhai Rahul, ballay se khelna kab shuru karoge? Lots of expectations from you

 

[Oligochaetes]

121 more.... with one wicket left...

 

[FreakCricket]

India needs to win this otherwise I cant see them coming back for 1-0, England are kings of comebacks specially at home.

 

[Rahul1]

I feel bad for Kohli. I would retire from cricket if i had to share a dressing room with such dimwits for so long.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Lucky four runs for India.They’ll take them though.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ashwin is also gone!India are 5 down for 78!

Anderson with the wicket again!

 

[BlackShadow]

This is over.

 

[KhanPredator]

Ashwin goneeeeee!

 

[JaDed]

Desi inferiority complex means they want nothing more than a compliment from white folks.

He is a Desi poster.

 

[KhanPredator]

Good delivery by Anderson

 

[Syed1]

India can still win till King is there

 

[Usman Chadda]

Who’s bright idea was it to promote a lower-order batsman above the proper batters?

 

[babajee]

Who’s bright idea was it to promote a lower-order batsman above the proper batters?

Karthik, Pandya are proper batters?

 

[InziRules]

Pandya must feel so confident after Ashwin's promotion )

 

[ManFan]

He is a Desi poster.

Nonsense.

What Big Mac is trying to say is that certain desis feel the need to compliment white players because of a complex within themselves.

Which is bizarre because I am following on the CricInfo and not watching what skin color he is.

 

[InziRules]

God, you people need to get rid of Shastri as fast you can. This Ashwin promotion is one of the worst ideas he's had

 

[KhanPredator]

Who’s bright idea was it to promote a lower-order batsman above the proper batters?

He is probably a better batman than the other two options lol

 

[JaDed]

Having a 90s flashback , distressing.

 

[mkyawar]

England need to put stokes in slips. If malan drops again , have a feeling anderson will murder him

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

King of Chase, Kohli. Mere naam ka waasta, chase kardo.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Karthik, Pandya are proper batters?

#achasorry

 

[battler]

Ashwin gone now. If kohli can pull this off from here it would simply be unbelievable! And would probably rank as the greatest innings he has played.

 

[JaDed]

Who’s bright idea was it to promote a lower-order batsman above the proper batters?

Ash is much better batsman than so called batsmen we have right now in the team, but he has no responsibility as such yet.

 

[KhanPredator]

Kohli has been playing on some other pitch the whole match

 

[AFM]

No 1 Team in the world

 

[Robert]

Kohli holds the bridge alone.....

 

[shariqnoor]

I don't care what people think, if Kohli wins this for India then he is the greatest Indian batsman. Tendulkar can take a back seat.

 

[babajee]

I don't care what people think, if Kohli wins this for India then he is the greatest Indian batsman. Tendulkar can take a back seat.

He has been better than Tendulkar for a while now.

 

[James]

5 down now, squeaky bum time... game rests on Kohli.

 

[Syed1]

I don't care what people think, if Kohli wins this for India then he is the greatest Indian batsman. Tendulkar can take a back seat.

Will be best ever after Viv

 

[Usman Chadda]

Karthik looks so nervous
