Washington future ATG

 

[sweep_shot]

Root is heading toward another century. What a player!

A proper ATG. Not a fake ATG like Bumrah.

 

[mominsaigol]

Bumrah will be relieved after watching whats unfolding today

Yes he's given the rubbish lot a reason to carry forth another PR campaign

To Indians, any player can become an ATG after 1 good innings.

Scientists should study their brains. One of a kind.

 

[mominsaigol]

Devad back on his time machine

I always enjoy India's beating but these clown players and these clown fans have made it even more enjoyable.
Their tears are joyous to watch. LOL.

I think science would drastically get altered as we know it if that were to happen

 

[RidiculousMan]

I reckon the key to India's success here is Siraj

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

why Shubman is circling umpire after every over?

 

[mominsaigol]

India has given root 500 runs this tour. These morons are juat begging him to overtake Tenda

 

[Devadwal]

Rush is too much in thread mean india is losing. All rhe losser Pakistan/ wannabe fand are here

 

[followed]

All the clown indian supporters and these clown players deserve this humiliation.

 

[gazza619]

Siraj dropped the match.

Howls with his heart out but zero presence of mind.

Of course we should blame the only Indian bowler who has played with full commitment in the series. His fault was that he didnt treat this series like a paid holiday unlike the best ever Bumrah.

 

[Ahmed216]

Indian mediocre team is going to achieve which no other team has ever achieved.

They are letting 350 runs chase twice in a series. It has never happened before and I don't think it will happen again.
Mediocre trundlers galore.

Thrice in last 6 games in England. Next level incompetence.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Akash Deep must put fear in the opposition eyes like he did with Duckett.

 

[followed]

Lagg gayi phainty india ko phir se. LOL

 

[sweep_shot]

why Shubman is circling umpire after every over?

He is just a typical Indian pest. That's why.

 

[Rajdeep]

Brooke gone....just finished the duty lads

 

[RidiculousMan]

Akash Deep has done it! Is this the moment India can sneak back?

 

[CricVet]

Brook's hara Kiri opens the door now

 

[followed]

He could get out only that way. He did his job wonderfully. He made indian trundlers cry again.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Decent innings and an even better end to the innings by giving tribute to your captain, Ben Stokes.

 

[followed]

I see what you’re trying to do. At this rate, would India still qualify as a first-tier team?

India is a mediocre test team with mediocre players and they produce mediocre result. India will remain a mediocre team for time being.

 

[mominsaigol]

Brooks gone but doesnt matter. India is done and dusted and have been caught with their pants dowm

 

[gazza619]

I don’t know this Bethell. His FC record is pretty average. Surprised to see him in an England shirt based on his numbers.

 

[sweep_shot]

73 to win. 5 wickets in hand.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

73 to win. 6 wickets in hand.

5. Woakes is injured.

 

[mominsaigol]

@Ab Fan

But but but, Jadeja has humiliated root in his own backyard . That's why root has outscored him, slapped 3 centuries and bullied india beyond belief .

Ofcourse this moron wont respond now. Ratty lot

 

[sweep_shot]

5. Woakes is injured.

Yes. Updated it.

 

[followed]

That partnership of 195 off just 211 balls has put things in perspective.
Indian team got the phainty of lifetime again in the same series.

 

[followed]

Joe root has to take his team home.

 

[Devadwal]

Match os already gone . it's too late now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Congrats to all on this win

 

[CricVet]

To seal, this p'ship should last for next 30-40 minutes. The pitch is a total dud now.

 

[mominsaigol]

Joe root has to take his team home.

He will, another nonsense propaganda busted.

These no life's only comment when they are winning and even then they got drubbed 3-1.

Rubbish lot

 

[sweep_shot]

Game should be over today. 48 overs are remaining.

 

[followed]

Harry brook is much better than any of indian batsman. He can take game away in just one session that''s all he needs.

 

[CricVet]

The game will be over in 60 minutes if Ind does not get wickt

 

[RidiculousMan]

Deep's spikes were too deep there

 

[RamLakhan]

Bits and pieces is the reason for this series scoreline. India cannot win matches in SENA with this kind of team. Even England is good only at their home they have similar team like India. Their pacers are useless outside and they don't have a single quality spinner. England will suffer similarly when they go outside. South Africa and Australia have better test teams, NZ too are good. India may again become dominant at home, their transition is now alright for home tests where they can include an extra full time spinner.

When you play with bits and pieces you will require every thing to fall in place like toss, opposition succumbing on their own, etc. Test cricket is a specialists game. Period.

 

[CricVet]

lucky break for Eng

 

[followed]

Akashdeep ganju after bowling 130ks thunderbolt couldn't turn back and catch the ball. LOL.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Before this match some Indian posters were saying that Root only scores soft runs. Can't deliver in pressure situations. I'd like to hear what they think now.

 

[followed]

Akash deep ganju is kamzor just like that bumrah ugliest action guy.
They need to eat healthy.
This ganju guy is bowling 130ks thunderbolts and he behaves like he bowls at Shoaib Akhtar's pace.

Thry will shift the goal post to pitch but ignore that goal post for jaiswal and some of their other batters

 

[boomboomcheema]

This Bethell bats like a tailender and giving solid loser vibes, England would be in big trouble if Root gets dismissed now ..This Bethell can't bat it seems.

 

[CricVet]

Impact outside off?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

extra 40 Runs Eng Gave away Yesterday against Final Pair is last hurdle now

 

[followed]

It looked like impact is outside off. Dumb review.

 

[followed]

This jacob bethell has put pressure on joe root.

 

[sweep_shot]

65 to win.

Root is on 90*.

 

[CricVet]

Bethell looks unsure playing his shots

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

61 to win.

Almost Tea time.

 

[followed]

Siraj is one of the most unlikeable guy but he has bowled his heart out. Still bowling with intensity.
He is much better than that kamzor ugliest action bumrah.

 

[CricVet]

98

 

[followed]

He is giving his everything this Siraj gunda.

 

[sweep_shot]

Another four from Root. He has reached 98*.

Bradman in today's time.

 

[mominsaigol]

Root uproots India for the 30th time

 

[Ahmed216]

Phenomenal knock from Root. Driven the ball so perfectly all innings

 

[sweep_shot]

Tea break.

England need 57 to win.

 

[CricVet]

Once target is under 50, Bethell nerves will come down and start timing the ball

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Root uproots India for the 30th time

Papa Root in Stands.. Papa Root for India on Field

 

[Ball Blazer]

You can see middle stump behind Root's pads. It should be outside the line...

Joe Root survives.

India have one review remaining now.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Once target is under 50, Bethell nerves will come down and start timing the ball

3 Boundaries in Last 2 overs are Crucial in context. It will help Calm Bethell

 

[OldWarHorse]

Verstappen fan?

Ferrari

 

[Mamoon]

Indian fans fully deserve this humiliation. What a bunch of bottlejobs - losing another Test match from a winning position.

 

[mominsaigol]

Another four from Root. He has reached 98*.

Bradman in today's time.

Steve Smith is the better batsmen, Root is similar to Ponting.

Actually Root is superior to Ponting in Test cricket tbf

 

[CricVet]

So far, he has struggled every shot he attempted. He was wise enough to go back to defense to get settled. If he played a few shots with authority (middling it), he will be playing freely for sure.

 

[Mamoon]

Ravi Shastri has lost his voice again

 

[sweep_shot]

Steve Smith is the better batsmen, Root is similar to Ponting.

I meant right now. In year 2025. Smith has declined.

In year 2025, Root is similar to Bradman. He is scoring century after century.

It all depends what surface you are playing and who you are facing. I have not seen one batter playing as aggressively and confidently as Ponting against fast and fierce pace (after Richards)

 

[KingKhanWC]

One of the best middle session batterings you’ll ever see in a test match chase . Indian bowlers have jumped into a Time Machine hitting under 80mph deliveries. Siraj has bowled with huge effort but has a clueless captain.

Easiest ever chase over 370 .

Brook gave his wicket away so @Rajdeep and @Devadwal would remain this thread .

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

So far, he has struggled every shot he attempted. He was wise enough to go back to defense to get settled. If he played a few shots with authority (middling it), he will be playing freely for sure.

He will be targeted after Break. Root is the key Here.. Eng needs 20 more Runs from him

 

[Josh]

Oh dear what a pasting
Has the pitch eased out or what

 

[Mamoon]

Root overtaking Sachin is even more hurtful for Indian fans because he is also an official father of India.

 

[CricVet]

He will be targeted after Break. Root is the key Here.. Eng needs 20 more Runs from him

Yes. Once and if Root gets century, he should not try to change gear. Keep playing as he is and finish the game in the first hr.

Doesn't change the fact that root avg is now close to ponting and his overseas record is better.

He has more centuries and more runs too

 

[CricVet]

THAT does not make him a better bat than Ponting on ALL surfaces!

 

[mominsaigol]

THAT does not make him a better bat than Ponting on ALL surfaces!

So?

He avg 50+ in every country excluding Pakistan, Australia and India.

He still avg 47 in india compared to ponting avg 26, he avg 45 in Pakistan despite getting doctored tracks, and avg 35 in aus which is poor and his onpy black mark.

But avg 35 in aus is >>>>> Avg 26 in India.

His country to country record is far superior to Ponting.

You are arguing based of feelings. Aka ponting was a goat against pace.

Yeah so? Even Brooks is better then Root vs Pace? That doesnt mean he is better
