I was never sold on Aakash Deep, I kept saying during the whole Oz tour that he was a bad player. I am convinced that performance in the 2nd test was a fluke, I thought maybe I got it wrong but he was totally off in the 3rd test match.

I am not saying bowlers lost India the match in the 3rd test, Shubhan Gill's marvellous innings of 7 during the chase sealed the deal...

He seemed to relish being the leader of the pack in the second test. It was just lethal stuff and he seemed to.be coming into his own nicely.
 
I remember some Indian clown fans were celebrating after third test saying that they have made England bowlers tired and in upcoming test England will fold.


But now they must be crying in corner after looking at conditions of their own bowlers.
 
Am watching Famtastic Four today so will be busy, but I will defo return for the finale, where England demoralise and humiliate india for the 3rd time
 
In every sport, there are athletes with that rare aura.
In football, it’s definitely messi and ronaldo. In tennis, Federer and Nadal.
And in cricket, it has to be Stokes and Cummins.
Stokes, when playing a proper Test innings.
Cummins, with the ball in hand as captain.
They just look different.
 
England just got lucky with the conditions when it was bright and sunny for them to bat

Should be down 2-1 England. Biggest fluke

And India missing akashdeep and Arshdeep who is far better than this khambhoj

Gambo sucks as coach

Gill sucks as captain.
 
One thing i will admit, England should go with this batting lineup. Carse batting at no 10 is absolute hell for any team especially India
 
To some extent That aggressive play by kontas against bumrah has affected bumrah to some extent. Since than alot of batsmen are coming down the ground against him. Which was a rare case before. I am looking forward watching him in odi. I want to see how he performs there a typical bumrah or weak bumrah.

You need to follow cricket more closely & troll less . Bumrah has 219 wickets in 48 Tests at a strike rate of under 43 & average of under 20 . He could walk in to any Test 11 in the cricketing World .
Stokes gets 100 , 593/8

No 11 archer also is a capable vatter.
Thet are playing with 11 batters.

Archer is still a tailender tbf. He is not a no 11 yes which illustrates how deep this batting lineup is, but he is still a tailender.

The rest are all 30 to 50 averaging batters though from 1 to 10

Same way it will be disaster if they play with this team in India... Bowling will become thin, and batsmen will see a different hell...

Dude who actually said this? Or this is a figment of your imagination? Which idiot said that lmao?

No one.
 
Australia still have never beaten full strength India in tests for the last 10 years

Only injuries of 2 key players helped them last time in their home

Same with England who got lucky with a team in transition.

I see England still getting butchered by Aus down under

Can’t wait till the poms come here to Aus.

Who cares. India is the country that started the trend of dustbowls to cheapen things.

Its honestly comical since I thought Bangladesh or Pakistan or maybe another minnow would adopt this approach but India did it first.

The onpy reason they got away with it, is because Kohli got sick of Fraud Dhoni's captaincy and ensured worldwide domination in test which is why no one cared about home dustbowls wins.

Indians hate kohli way too much in test. Yes his performance was poor post 2019 but he still ensured India remained dominant since hes a gun captain and his antics got into oppositions heads.

I have literally seen England batters burst into laughter when Gill tried to mimick kohli while raising his finger 🤣🤣. He is as threatening as Minnie Mouse.

Only indians can have such an ego, Pakistan after beating england 2-1 on dustbowls didnt even have this ego. It made sense in kohli era, now you guys are just memeing yourselves
 
India to fight like lions if conditions are sunny
And bat for 2 days to save the game

They can do this

Gill phattu needs to prove himself
 
The only test india has won in this series was the one in which bumrah was dropped.
It simply means bumrah is a fraud statpadder just like rizzu symmonds.

He ain't even walking into the Indian Xi ATM brother
 
If you are going to play on flat pitches

Then select bowlers who can do well in these conditions

Pick bowlers who can sustain pace between 130 to 145

And who actually have played first class

Do not pick just on stats like in khambhoj’s case

This is what happens. Indian team too focused on t20z

True. If he is playing injured then he shouldn’t play

And yes that is true India won more without superstar culture

Maybe that’s the issue

No flukes in test cricket, especially in a 5 match series. You face every situation possible and both good and bad luck.

Doodh ka Doodh aur paani ka paani ho jata hai.

I was just talking about team composition, with this kind of team combination even England can't achieve much outside their den... Indians are following the opposition trend and stacking their team with bits & piece players (Well that can work in India - we can now play with 4 spinners - Axar/Jadeja/Sundar/Kuldeep and 3 of them will bat better than Carse, Woakes, Dawson, etc, in Indian conditions) Correct way is how NZ played in India...

Nha you can fluke with conditions and toss favouring you

How many times do teams losing tosses win away from home?

Lol this is the reason India lose so much
So much arrogance and zero performance.

Bumrah guy may average 10 but when he plays India loses more matches than they win.
Do you even know how many matches has he lost?
You should watch more cricket before trying to become an axepert.
 
Englishmen with a century and a five-wicket haul in the same Test:

Tony Greig
Ian Botham (5 times)
Gus Atkinson

This is going to be a 4-1 thrashing just like BGT would've been if one Test was not completed.

There is a difference between 4-1 trashing and losing 4-1. Some of the earlier tests could have went either way and were decided by one session. This one is a bit more one sided. It's been good cricket.
