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

[oatmeal]

These types of brave knocks inspire whole generations of fans

its understandable in critical situations. But this risks further injury in a first innings of a match. Instinctively batsmen put on weight on the foot while playing the shot. they must have injected him with adrenaline so the pain will be felt only later

Playing against competitive India in 5 test match series... Stokes taking his bowling seriously... England getting back to traditional cricket and kicking out Bazball... It is a good thing for Test Cricket... (South Africa & NZ winning WTC). We want all these 5 teams (SENAI) playing 5 test match series home & away between each other... (NZ beating India at home which none others did for a long time)... Hopefully this will inspire Pakistan, Sri Lanka and other teams... If India and Pakistan get a 5 test match series between them (for that both the political tension should come down and Pakistan should up their skills!)

how will we incentivize test cricket though?

They had no choice. They now have a chance to beat Australia. They reason they kept getting drubbed in Aus was due to them constantly slogging bilo bouncers.

no player in the world is better than pant if he is fit. pre injury pant is far too good.
when he gets back to full fitness he will again be the best player in the world. best batsman.

brook frook shook all nothing. just tulla next to pant

 

[mominsaigol]

Watch out for Indian bowling they might wreck havoc in first 20 overs.

I think India will win this test. I don't believe they will lose.

Yeah it seemed strange but he done well to hang around for so long.

 

[mominsaigol]

pant is way better than brook
and way better than any player in the world

there is only one player better than pant at full fitness. nobody.

aus killer pant is goat.
better than gilly.

come at me

come at me

Stop behaving like a Momin.

archer is good vs lefites
he might be able to negate head

but i dont see other bowlers doing well vs aus batsmen though

aus have the best batsmen.

 

[Rajdeep]

Bowled...Pant gone.

Naw England batting minus Steve Smith is stronger at present.

yea injured pant lol.
if he was fit, he would have flatlined england.

duckett is good
brook is good but not great
smith is good

but they bat deep i guess
carse can bat
and so can wood/woakes

aus batting is still strongest

Great knock by Adam Gilchrist's one and only true successor.

Much respect for the kid, playing on 1 feet...

Excluding Steve smith who can end anyone especially at MCG, no.

Bradman MCG Smith is impossible to put down though

I am winning this kid...

nha cameron green can bat well
carey can he is good
and not to mention webster is decent

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Yeah it seemed strange but he done well to hang around for so long.

Bro this is serious actually.
This is just adrenaline rush that made him come to bat nothing else.
He can actually get seriously injured. He might have to bat in 2nd innings as well and that time his work definitely will be to up the ant and score some quick runs and in that process he might hurt himself badly.

 

[mominsaigol]

I am winning this kid...

At the end of their respective careers, the answer will be obvious old timer.

Rishabh Pant provided special moment in the whole series. He's been tremendous throughout but to see him hobble out there to continue to bat is remarkable. I can only imagine what is going on in that boot.

 

[sweep_shot]

India are all-out for 358. Woo hoo!

Go, England.

Yeap, Jamie Smith will be an avg to ok player and the Indian kid will be a legend...

Mentally challenged and full of houghtiness.

England should try to score 500 here and bat India out of the game.

Rishab broke his own leg, no one forced him to be macho.

I am not a fan of this attitude in cricket where fans call for injuries to players. Play gentleman game like gentleman

No other fans wish injuries on other players. Only Indians do this.

Not surprised at all considering they cheer when Israel kills Gaza children.

These are some of the most evil people on Earth.

No wonder crime in India keeps rising, this country is gone to the dogs. And of course, some NRI who bailed on the mess will show up to lecture us that it's just a one-off. Spare us. You don't live here, we do.

joffra and all bowlers are within their right to injure players

i want to see blood. 100% i would like see a bunch of bones broken of pom players.
why not?

nothing wrong with it
if you cant get them out, injure them.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

No excuses but Jasprit bumrah looks tired tbh.
I think he can only play bunch of tests in a year. He is my favourite bowler but he should really think about giving up this format.

then he wont go down as an atg
only tests create legends.

he should just give up and quit cricket if he doesnt want to play tests.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Anshul has a kind of an action which actually suits ben ducket's batting style.

 

[mominsaigol]

Their once was a man from Natukkat, his bat was so big, you could suck it. He was the bazzballer named Ben Duckett

Fair point.
I mean it's upto him because quitting this format will automatically help him to prolong his career in ipl and limited overs format.

Lol this anshul guy is a proper trundler from Indian trundler factory.
130ks thunderbolts he is bowling.

 

[gazza619]

Nice two overs by Chukrah

England will need to be cautious against the ordinary Shardul. He can do some damage with his lolly pop bowling. He is the medium pace version of Carl Hooper.

 

[Human786]

It looked very bad yesterday with swelling the size of TT ball ... cannot be fracture , perhaps a minor crack .
Kamboj appears very ordinary btw . ENG get a decent lead & this game is over !

 

[Ahmed216]

England need to make first innings count here. Get a lead of 100 runs

 

[sweep_shot]

So far so good for England.

ENG - 23/0 (4.5 overs).

Lol imagine Kamboj and Krishna bowling together in the 5th test

Indians were full of haughtiness 1 year ago.

Since then, they have won just 2 Tests out of 11. They may fail to win this one also.

Don't be haughty. Stay humble.

He has poor fitness for a fast bowler. He looks bulky.

He should do balle balle for 1 hour a day. That can be a nice exercise.
