brook
smith
atkinson

that depth brah in batting huh

 

[KingKhanWC]

Go to Mosque and Indians are aiming to get back into the match! Hopefully they were proper bowlers wickets which is the confidence they need.

Rooooot for another big one?

 

[mominsaigol]

Like I said, we will see

Excluding unforeseen factors my predictions have never been wrong

 

[kron]

145 kmph.
fastest ball of this match

apparently trundler.

 

[kron]

Excluding unforeseen factors my predictions have never been wrong

yes thats true. for me too. hardly ever get it wrong.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Siraj bowling beautifully.
But watch out Gill siraj will go out of control and go for all reviews.

 

[kron]

140 again.
apparently trundler lmao.

 

[Devadwal]

You're forgetting Bethell. He is Very good player

brook
smith
atkinson

[followed]

Don't raise the finger ahsan raza.
Good job by umpire.

 

[sweep_shot]

ENG - 165/3.

Trailing by just 59 runs now.

Root is on 20*.

 

[followed]

Akashdeep ganju is bowling and keeper is standing up for him . LOL
Embarrassing sight for any "fast bowler"
But he is not a fast bowler.

 

[kron]

You're forgetting Bethell. He is Very good player

Bethel? Leaves. Yea true

 

[kron]

akashdeep will hit the fastest 100 today

 

[mominsaigol]

I feel for him tbh.
He is a very good player but trying to be a hack because of this bazball.

I dont think he's a hack, just tries to play too fast and doesnt settle down

 

[kron]

I dont think he's a hack, just tries to play too fast and doesnt settle down

he is good on most pitches apart from turners and extreme bounce

 

[kron]

why is ponting talking like he was a great player vs swing. be quiet midget.
couldnt play spin or swing

 

[kron]

siraj 50. nice

 

[CricVet]

It seems unlikely at this point, but England’s target is definitely shaping up to be around 350. Finally, we have a pitch and conditions that make a Test match truly entertaining. England wouldn’t want to chase anything over 150 in the second innings. Root is batting well, while Brook not so much.

 

[Ali Active]

root gone

 

[CricVet]

Oh well, root gone probably

 

[kron]

joe root got unlucky there. but he is far better than ponting. tbh

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Guys from now onwards plz evade thread ban. For straight 4 hours

 

[Rajdeep]

Temu Tendulkar gone....no flat pitch, no party

Good thing is, he took away his fans too from this thread

 

[kron]

Guys from now onwards plz evade thread ban. For straight 4 hours

yea it was getting very annoying. i have anger issues but even i was calm.

 

[gazza619]

Decent going by team dharma considering the chucker is not playing.

 

[mominsaigol]

Guys from now onwards plz evade thread ban. For straight 4 hours

Lol I just returned? What happened? Did someone cause a ruckus without me

 

[Ab Fan]

Why is Tom Latham batting at 6 for England?

 

[kron]

@The Bald Eagle

apparently akashdeep is 28. he hardly has hair and is grey almost everywhere?
age fudging ? looks 35 lmao

 

[Rajdeep]

Out....yessssss

 

[Ab Fan]

My bad, a poor man’s Latham.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

4 more wickets to go.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Yes could be true

 

[Ahmed216]

Good comeback.

 

[mominsaigol]

Shame I have to go for daily squash sessions . It seems the gang has come alive and only i can destroy them but they all now have room to breathe without suffering my wrath.

Brooks Bradman to score a century though

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Indians really need to glorify Siraj instead of some fake goat. Still fighting after being fully exhausted

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Indians really need to glorify Siraj instead of some fake goat. Still fighting after being fully exhausted

Yes. He's a fighter just like Pakistani bowlers. Got that same jazba and daler

 

[KingKhanWC]

India right back in this, some brainless battting but qudos to Siraj, he bowled with all he has.

Two very aggressive batsmen at the crease, need to counter attack and get a good lead.

 

[RamLakhan]

Good comeback.

Young team doing much better than some accomplished teams which used to get even whitewashed in SENA... Even though Bazball is working against this Indian Team, at least they are always trying to make way & come back... This series will be remembered for that...

Yes, England threw away massive start. It will be a see saw contest

 

[kron]

lion hearted performance. ultimate respect

he really needs rest .

glass body soda bumrah can leave. either play atleast 2 3 tests in a 4 test series or dont play at all. stop making remarks and picking and choosing games. lmao.

 

[kron]

smith is the dangerman
atkinson can bat

tongue cant
overton? somewhat can i guess

 

[kron]

@The Bald Eagle gill is a buffoon. over bowling siraj now. how much can he bowl????
where is rest lmao

 

[Ahmed216]

If you're referring to Pak I would say they've never been an accomplished team. Talent was there but there's always so much going on behind the scenes and even in dressing room.
Only under Misbah did I see some sort of stability and it showed in relatively good results.

 

[CricVet]

The game is even because of Siraj bowling 4 sure. I hate his shenanigans, but he has bowled well.

 

[kron]

siraj is a phenomenal bowler
lion hearted bowler

every bowler from both sides had to quit at some point.

this guy came charging in for 5 tests in a row

 

[kron]

please give siraj rest???? gill needs to get his brain scanned

 

[Ahmed216]

Evenly poised this game. Scorecard may show England are slightly ahead but they've to bat last under pressure.
That's why I say batting first is never too bad in tests no matter what the conditions

 

[CricVet]

Once Eng passed 275 (if they did), I expect a higher gear cricket then from them.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

@The Bald Eagle gill is a buffoon. over bowling siraj now. how much can he bowl????
where is rest lmao

They just want to finish him just for the sake of their face saving, where is Arshdeep? Why was he even in this squad, if he wasn't supposed to play? GG must be sacked...a liability in disguise

 

[batandballbattle]

Consider that England bat right down to No. 10. 100 plus lead still very achievable

 

[RidiculousMan]

please give siraj rest???? gill needs to get his brain scanned

Siraj is no Bumrah that will hide and put personal goals above team's.

 

[Ahmed216]

4 more wickets to go.

Woakes will not bat?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

please give siraj rest???? gill needs to get his brain scanned

May be for them Bumrah is a doll and Siraj is an animal who won't get hurt easy

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Woakes will not bat?

Already ruled out

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Woakes will not bat?

He won't.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Guys what do you think is a winning lead here?
100 150?

 

[kron]

injured bro
like i said i would seriously have sweep shot as coach over gambo

useless guy. short man syndrome induced selections.

arshdeep, harshit rana all should have played. but arshdeep got injured and i dont know how khambhoj sneaked in lmao

 

[Rajdeep]

Jamie Smith - Goneee

This match thread already looks so clean and decent with all these wickets

 

[kron]

May be for them Bumrah is a doll and Siraj is an animal who won't get hurt easy

if you ask siraj i guarantee he will say he will bowl. but you as the captain need to make the decision.

not the bowler. siraj is absolutely tired. he is brilliant but cmon he is not a machine. india always treats fast bowlers like dirt bro.

always overrate batsmen.

 

[kron]

i want siraj to have complete rest with no games for atleast a good 3 months. deserves it.

hope he has one more run in him for the second innings. brainless gill keeps over bowling him.

 

[kron]

terrible review hahahahhahahahahhaah
good umpire

 

[kron]

question is even if we get england all out soon. do india really want to bat today?? lol. it looks seaming as hell

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Jamie Smith - Goneee

Welcome back

 

[Rajdeep]

Craig Overton - Goneeeee

Eng 215/7 by tea

 

[kron]

Craig Overton - Goneeeee

Eng 215/7 by tea

jamie not craig

craig was the one umesh broke his hand. he is a better batsman actually

jamie is a better bowler.

 

[kron]

very very good umpire

@The Bald Eagle

hardly got any wrong barring that one for siraj. which i understand because even to me, it looked wide.

 

[Vikram1989]

question is even if we get england all out soon. do india really want to bat today?? lol. it looks seaming as hell

Tomorrow is a much better sunny day. We should hang around at any cost with less damage

 

[Justcrazy]

India have made a very big comeback here. Just 3 wickets in hand , the lead will not be too much.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Okay I am out from here...ciao

Temu Tendulkar gone....no flat pitch, no party

Good thing is, he took away his fans too from this thread

Oh, so the glory hunter is back again.

 

[oatmeal]

The best test series in recent time. Every test has swung back and forth

 

[Katwalindian]

Now somebody please open the thread siraj vs mcgrath akram and Marshall...
Who is better?

 

[Devadwal]

Ohhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooo FTB Temuuuu Tendulkar Missed well deserved century by 71 runs and double century by 171 runs.

 

[Rajdeep]

Oh, so the glory hunter is back again.

No one can stay here 24*7

However, good time to post now

 

[mominsaigol]

Now somebody please open the thread siraj vs mcgrath akram and Marshall...

You open it. Indians are kings of lying anyway

 

[Rajdeep]

The best test series in recent time. Every test has swung back and forth

India has produced some terrific SENA tours in recent years - BGT 2020/21, England 2021 and now this one.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Another fantastic test in procession.
Eng should look towards getting a lead of 100. India would be willing to keep the lead lesser than 50.

Can only get a lead if Brooks goes Bradman mode

@TheSultan you agree bro?

#TskTsk

 

[Devadwal]

Only 2 wickets , Woakes may not bat in this test

 

[Ahmed216]

If India win the game I'd consider it as series victory because they lost all tosses
