Why pitches in England have gone flat all of a sudden?

 

[mominsaigol]

Why pitches in England have gone flat all of a sudden?

Cause of England's obsession to out bat everyome

 

[MP2011]

Why are you so obsessed with Jaiswal? Did you visit his Pani Puri Stall some time back by any chance and he didn't serve you with balanced spices to your likings?

Or probably gave him a golgappa less!

 

[PAKFAN12]

Jaiswal is a high quality batter.

 

[mominsaigol]

These pitches are Pakistan pitches honestly

 

[batandballbattle]

bazball approach
a shame since I like the typical english greentop with plenty for the bowlers

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro I already told you, its cause of the Mitchell starc incident?

I can have players i hate. Nothing wrong with it.

Laxman: Hate
Jadeja: Hate
Ashwin: Hate
Jaiswal: Hate

But

Sachin: Neutral
Dravid: love
Kohli: Neutral
Rohit: Neutral
Sehwag; Love

Etc etc

It is upto me. I am not bothering anyone. Its only 2 obsessive trolls that I despise.

 

[Devadwal]

Bazball ( Tulla baazi ) will Exposed on Greenish pitches .

 

[mominsaigol]

I hate siraj too, but he has already turned himself into a joke so I dont need to comment on him much

 

[MP2011]

Bashir is crap. Is he best English spinner on the scene?

 

[mominsaigol]

Bashir is crap. Is he best English spinner on the scene?

All their bowlers are crap. Their domestic system is producing crap bowlers. Just observe some county games

 

[MP2011]

Bro I already told you, its cause of the Mitchell starc incident?

That means you hate every trash talking cricketer, no? That leaves very few cricketers whom you love then.

 

[MP2011]

Also, you must love all Pakistani cricketers as hardly anyone talks rubbish on a cricket field, all are seedhe saadhe kids.

 

[Ab Fan]

If the pitch is good to bat, there is a good chance that all rounders like Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar will contribute with bat as well. So, if India bats well then can post 500 in first inning and this pitch should aid spinners a bit more than Headingley. India has Sundar and Jadeja both so it is not a bad selection. We may correct the mistakes we did in 1st test this time.

 

[Vikram1989]

Bazball ( Tulla baazi ) will Exposed on Greenish pitches .

They were exposed even in pak and India.

 

[mominsaigol]

That means you hate every trash talking cricketer, no? That leaves very few cricketers whom you love then.

No I hate it when players are batemeez for no reason. Siraj isnt a trash talker he's a clown.

 

[RamLakhan]

We lost last test not because batting but dropped catch and poor bowling ( Still we would have taken 120+ lead if we had taken those catch)

Agreed, but when one of your department (bowling) is not doing good, then the other (batting) has to take up that additional responsibility...

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bashir is crap. Is he best English spinner on the scene?

He is quite a polarising player amongst English analysts. He isn't good enough to play for his country but gets picked for England. He has performed in patches. Standard of English spinners is quite low and for some reason Stokes and Baz prefer Bashir over Leach.

 

[sweep_shot]

Jaiswal is out. Balle Balle.

IND - 161/3.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

It seems like England prepared such pitches to facilitate Root

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal threw away a massive hundred.

 

[rpant_gabba]

No I hate it when players are batemeez for no reason. Siraj isnt a trash talker he's a clown.

makes me question if you are in nay way familiar with Australia at all

 

[mominsaigol]

Naw I think they did it to neutralised bumrah

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol Jaiswal goes the moment a good bowler comes. Fodder player. Fraud of the century cant even get a 100 on a phatta.

Even the commentators are stating their is nothing much in the pitch

 

[Devadwal]

This is not just first time they are producing these types of wickets but after they started playing tullebaazi cricket.

 

[mominsaigol]

Australians are allowed to be, I do mind ponting's classic era team. They are outliers.

 

[RamLakhan]

Pandya would do similar role like Stokes (breaking crucial partnerships) if he plays Tests now. He is a much matured and thinking bowler now. Unfortunately he doesn't have the fitness to play tests... He will be the next best bowler after Bumrah (in tests) for sure if he plays and can give the much needed balance to the team....

He played in England before (in tests) on greentops... He can bat much better now on these flatter pitches...

 

[batandballbattle]

bit of a nothing shot to a nothing ball
still played well though

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Sky commentators surprised at Jaiswal dismissal
===
Where has that come from?!

Stokes once again pulls a rabbit out of the hat for England as Jaiswal tries to cut one away outside off and gets a thin edge behind.

That was a nailed-on Test century spurned there for Jaiswal, but England will care very little.

Pandya has a fifer in England and india won that test because king two High quality knock 103 and 97.

Pandya is not interested to Play Test cricket which is really shame

 

[mominsaigol]

You can clearly tell Gill is a rubbish test batsmen. 35 of 92 on a road

 

[Markhor]

Why pitches in England have gone flat all of a sudden?

Not only flat @Ahmed216 but SLOW. I don't understand where the pace has gone in our pitches.

Surrey have just hit 820 in the County Championship at The Oval.

becos?

 

[Rajdeep]

Where are all those phaasht bowlers who were hyped during the IPL and supposedly better than Lee, Akhtar, and Bond? How did Akash Deep end up here instead of them?

Most of them are T20 bowlers bro just like we hear Dahani, ihsanullah, Naseem, Rauf and other random phaast bowlers during PSL but come test cricket we see 37 years old trundlers like Zahid Mahmood.

 

[Vikram1989]

Leach was manhandled by pant many times and bashir did reasonably well in india. so may be they think to look for future .As all the commies said, stokes is very much authoritarian with out much reasons or explanation.

 

[mominsaigol]

Pant has such a weird style of batting? But it works ig.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Leach was manhandled by pant many times and bashir did reasonably well in india. so may be they think to look for future .As all the commies said, stokes is very much authoritarian with out much reasons or explanation.

I'm sure they picked him in India because they had a software analysis tool that said his release points and bounce he generated were similar to one of the Indian bowlers.

So there is some logic too it but yes you are right it's mainly Stokes making a decision and backing him.

 

[mominsaigol]

Root century inshallah

 

[gazza619]

Its not often that when a team is 167/3 on day 1 but still you can easily predict that team will loose the game.

 

[Rajdeep]

Sohaib Bashir is a quota player right? Surely there is a better spinner available in England.

Risbah Pant always launches Op Sindoor on him whenever he faces him.

 

[gazza619]

Root century inshallah

Only if Indian bowlers get past Ducket, Crawley & Pope

 

[mominsaigol]

We can predict the series bro. Assuming no rain, England is winning 5-0

 

[mominsaigol]

Without chuck Rah no chance unless the English batters themselves make a mistake.

 

[Rajdeep]

I never wanted India to win any test match as badly as this one. Not because Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are supporting them....it is as per norm. But because how arrogant British media and English commentators have become. These same guys used to stay in their aukat in front of Kohli but now trying to play mindgame against young skipper. 4-1 se harao inn logo ko and launch Lagaan part 2

This can be 2021 BGT where after 36 all out , Aussie media's , wannabe Pakistan fans becomes arrogant and said india is going to humiliated with 4-0 but india humiliated Aussies Team , Ex players , media's and delusional PP poster after winning the series with 2-1

Then you should have seen the press conference yesterday...how they were trying to bully Gill.

Also, Stokes was arrogantly saying this is a good practice before Ashes.

We are in a Lagaan mood bro...upto you whether you want to join us or be like Lakha

[Bhaijaan]

England’s batting approach has changed the game so much. You just don’t know what’s a good position anymore when a team out there can chase down 370 with ease within a day.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Jaiswal missed out on another SENA century after a start. He must be kicking himself.

England with this kind of bowling will not win in Australia.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

I like Kuldeep and he is a talented spinner but why are some fans behaving as if he is the second coming of Warne, its okay that Jadeja played here, he will make runs, quite sure that Kuldeep wouldn’t pick 5fers here.

 

[Justcrazy]

The last two days show light rain , that will be important. It all boils down how India bowl , to win India need to get them out twice. India this time will look for 550 , considering they bat much deeper this time around.

The issue is not how good kuldeep is , the issue is why India is reluctant to play a specialist spinner. On this pitch you will get 500 runs , but key will be to pick wickets. India is looking to play for a win not draw.

 

[mominsaigol]

They wont get their. Their tail is so poor that they'll be bundled out for less then 30 runs.

England on the other hand bat all the way till 11. This 5 specialist batter strategy + 1 allrounder + 1 Burnt out end of the road corpse of a cricketer jadeja + a horrible tail will backfire

 

[Ball Blazer]

Tea Break Summary – Day 1, 2nd Test, Birmingham (England vs India):

India went into tea at 182/3 after 53 overs on Day 1 of the second Test against England at Edgbaston. Opting to bowl first, England struck early with Chris Woakes removing KL Rahul for just 2. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal stood tall with a fluent 87 off 107 balls, laced with 13 boundaries, before falling to Ben Stokes just before tea. Karun Nair added a handy 31, while Shubman Gill (42*) and Rishabh Pant (14*) steadied the innings with an unbeaten 21-run stand. England’s pacers bowled with discipline, with Woakes, Carse, and Stokes sharing a wicket each.

 

[MP2011]

quite sure that Kuldeep wouldn’t pick 5fers here.

Again, you won't know that unless you play him in SENA tests.

13 tests in 8 years, let that sink in!

 

[MP2011]

After Padmakar Shivalkar & Rajinder Goyal, Kuldeep is the most shabbily treated Indian cricketer.

While the former 2 didn't get to play any International cricket, Kuldeep rarely plays test cricket, the premier format of the game.

It works for them. They won quite a matches by chasing big totals.

It was not possible because that time India had established spinners available , its unfortunate . Its just like what happened to Amol majumdar and more recently to Priyank panchal and Jalas Saxena.

 

[sweep_shot]

They? Are you not going to say 'we' now? Aren't you a proud British Indian?

These sanghis are so shameless. They support India over England while living in England. It should be 50-50.

 

[MP2011]

Also, if taking 5-fors is the only criteria of a good bowler, Ashwin and Jadeja have taken a combined total of 1 5-for in 52 tests they played in SENA countries. Even that 1 5-for Jadeja took, came at a high price, 6/138!

Is that enough?

 

[Justcrazy]

England need to get in specialist Test spinners , they have to find better options than bashir. Even Moeen was a better spinner than this guy.

 

[Rajdeep]

LOL England is changing the ball. Anytime Stokes cant take wickets, he whines infront of umpires to change the ball

 

[Vikram1989]

They are concerned about any spice in the pitch. I think once sa rolled them out for 115 in eng.they just avoid any thing to deal with application of technique or mind in bazball .

 

[Justcrazy]

So , it is confirmed Bumrah will play 1st , 3rd , and 5 th test.

 

[sweep_shot]

So , it is confirmed Bumrah will play 1st , 3rd , and 5 th test.

By the time 5th Test comes, series will probably be over.

He should've played all 5. If he is really a future ATG (like many claim here), why can't he play all Tests?

 

[Hellion]

Looks like Pope is the guy charged with damaging the ball whenever Stokes wants to change.

Nice Bazball tactics

 

[mominsaigol]

Bhai kabhi to fair ho jao. From umpire conspiracy to ball changing allegations but the same logic doesnt apply when an umpire helps india?

But India batting first has done well with the bat both times. If the pitch takes some turn , batting last will not be good .

 

[Rajdeep]

England have been doing it for many years. Other teams complained it as well

For that, spinners need to be good, otherwise it will be a replica of the first test

IND - 193/3 (57 overs).

Just get Pant and Gill out. Rest should collapse quickly.
