What's new

Fourth Test between England (669) and India (358 & 425/4) ended in a draw with the hosts leading the five-match series 2-1

Bumrah isnt fit to play this test. I think the plan was to play him in the 5th test but this one is crucial so he played
 
What is going on with Kuldeep. Is he unfit or something. you cant play both Sundar and Jaddu with Kuldeep available to the selectors
 
Make fun of Pakistan all you want but atleast they aren't crybabies. They dont mind getting humiliated.

These crybabies got mentally shot after the 3rd test lol.
 
Bro what happen to spin threat of jadeja and sunder for england lol

Not to be disrespectful but they are “just” ARs who bowl spin. England are fine with that. English batsmen have a genuine weakness against quality spin, but it needs be an ATG offspinner like Ashwin, a mystery spinner, or a wrist spinner to take a big haul against them.

No way? Jadeja too? Isn't he like the best spinner after Ashwin of this generation?

Bro yasir shah had bit of success against england but you are right it has to be great spinner to trouble england

Ashwin never troubled England in England. and only Indians think he is ATG spinner. 80% of his wickets came on dustbowls in India. To qualify for ATG tag you gotta be equally good everywhere like Shane Warne
 
England running away with this game atm. Will be completely out of India's grasp if they don’t get minimum 3 more wickets before 100 lead.

Head ended his career in BGT. It was so embarrassing that he went from claiming he'll end Aus in BGT to calling it quits.

Now it looks like Root will end Jadeja.

Seriously we need a thread, Head vs Root. Who is the Papa of India.

Bro Ashwin has 100-110 wickets outside Asia all his career 😂😂 out of 537

The irony is that despite bcci being a marketing Machine, even they didnt market Ashwin.

They outright dropped him for overseas tours 99% of the time and outright claimed hes rubbish in India?

So ashwin is a mystery to me. Hes the only player that bcci themsleves admit is rubbish but is hyped by Indian posters?

Root is their daddy. He has plundered runs off them like no other. That's why it's amusing when they say he hasn't scored pressure runs or he scores runs, the flipping Indians should have put more pressure on him then for God's sake!

Root is their Daddy yes. Head however is a big deal only thank to the clowns in Blue
 
This match is done and dusted for India. Batsmen didn't take much responsibility and didn't put up a big score! Bowlers have lost steam! India should wrap up the series by playing this team in the last match:

Rahul
Jaiswal
Sudarshan
Gill
Jadeja
Jurel
Nitish
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Siraj
Akashdeep/Prasidh

As Pant is injured, Jurel will have to play. And since both Pant & Jurel can't play in this match, we are forced to play Nitish (he is better compared to Sundar, Thakur...) as he has scored century against a top team in challenging conditions... Tell him that you are playing as a batsman primarly and so should bat responsibly and play his natural game (attack the bad balls, instead of defending everything) Kuldeep must play (the last hope and best hope now, his experience as primary bowler will come into play). India should play with 3 seamers from here on and should find 1 quality spinner (not a compulsion that he should bat, he can even be a tailender) and should go with 7 batsmen (Jadeja is one among them, if Sundar has to play - he should replace Jadeja OR play only when Jadeja is injured, he can be in the squad)

In future India should develop their test side like this... This series (we may lose by 4-1 at worst) is good experience for this young team. Gill should be given a long run as captain (unless he regresses as batsman) and he should change his attitude/fake aggression...

Rahul
Jaiswal
Sudarshan
Gill
Pant
Jadeja
Jurel
Kuldeep (or better spinner)
Bumrah
Siraj
Akashdeep (or better 3rd Seamer/rotation)

This should be the team, play specialists... Jurel is a good middle order batsman, he should be given a long run (instead of filling players like Nitish, Sundar...) You need to develop players at No.5, No.6, No.7 who can bail us out from trouble of collapses.. And we need a specialist spinner without doubt (even SENA teams have one with them, but we are going with part-timers). This will give better work-load sharing to the seamers (a good spinner can pick wickets and can also hold one end up). Jadeja is now just an additional spin/bowling option (5th bowler) Nitish, Sundar... can all be in the squad, but they should not be default selection...
 
Pope is done, Crawley and Pope are the weakest batting links. Brooks needs to smash a super century though. England need tonget to 700
 
Where are all the glory hunters? Devdaas, Raju, Noobesh, Missu, Powercut? These are the real gaddars. They run away when the going gets tough for India. :inti

One is driving a railway, the other is serving old ladies at Tesco, the 3rd one is worshipping at a temple, the 4th one is playing wwe on home console and missu is having issues with his misses.

This is cheap bro, we are taught not to insult other religions or places of worship, this is unbecoming of a legendary poster like you and a Proud Aussie.

Haha good one bro, HTB head ended old man Ashwin mediocre spinner career in BGT. However, Ashwin already has 2 series wins in Aus, Head got whitewashed in India unfortunately and exposed for the home bully he is.

Root is Papa of all India and Australia.
 
Hoping for a Root double hundred here. He is the Papa of India and Australia. Going past overrated hacks like Ponting will be worth it. Guy was a tailender against Harbahjan of all people.
 
Btw this Brook is such a joker. I used to rate him highly and there were some aunties calling him better than likes of young Smith, Dravid, Sanga and Babar....and this guy is turning to be a bigger FTB than anyone else bar Head.
 
Whatever it is, only 1 out of Sundar/Jadeja should play in SENA... Either Sundar should improve his batting OR Jadeja should improve his bowling... They cannot combine and say we are effective... They both can play together at home by all means. I bet Jurel will develop into a better batsman than Jadeja & Sundar (like Jaiswal, Sudarshan, we need to start developing specialist batsmen - it is important for test cricket). We cannot get carried away with these alrounders... See what specialist batsmen can do... (England), it can stretch the score beyond 400... If India had scored 500+ in their first innings they would be in the driving seat now... And a specialist spinner would have ensured additional damage to England now (@ 357/4)
 
Pathetic captaincy by Gill, why did he held Sundar back and didn't bring him early...? all the runs are scored now... Where is scoreboard pressure? England can again run away with the game... Either develop Sundar as specialist spinner (give him more responsibility, ask him to bowl at different times in the match/different conditions OR tell him to bat properly, assure at least a 50 every time)

Not taking new ball either.

It is part of the sequence, if he had rotated bowlers well (utilized them properly), better chance of picking wickets early and more rest to other bowlers... Hence possibility of seamers to grab that new ball... His captaincy has been one dimensional (looks good only when the opposition are on the back foot as in 2nd test...) should show improvement (make it happen during tough periods)
 
bumrah should quit tests. if you cant play more than 2 tests in a row
quit
injuries or what not
get lost.

bowled absolute trash

rabada is the best bowler in the world
 
gill trash captain though
gambir trash coach no doubt

i understand akashdeep and arshdeep arent playing. no support for bumrah but he still bowled absolute filth

go back to sanjna. stay at home. quit tests. get lost.

thats the problem with desi cricketers. once you become rich, you stop trying.
 
absolute dross. utter filth bowling by bumrah.

and gill took 69 overs to bowl sundar lmao. should have bowled around 40 45 overs itself.
 
by the way since the get some cojones incident, gill has been absolutely trash.

and fat pant getting out cause of stupid shots. lose some weight. put the samosa down fatso.
 
why play 5 tests series if you are not interested? i dont get t?
