India [145, 49/0] roll over England [112, 81] inside 2 days with 10-wicket win in 3rd Test; lead 2-1

[Kaptan]

Looks close

 

[Markhor]

Match could hinge on this review.

 

[Devadwal]

It's clearly pad first lol

 

[mastimasti]

Benefit of the doubt goes to Kohli....I mean the bowlers....erm....

 

[mastimasti]

Kohli about to knock the umpire out haha

 

[Markhor]

Not out.

Well the TV umpire didn't rush this time and went through all the angles.

 

[silentkiller187]

I think that was pad onto edge onto pad actually root lucky there

 

[Kaptan]

Not out. Interesting.

 

[desi_launda]

Root got away with one there

 

[Last Monetarist]

NZ wickets are flat and nothing happens for spinners on Day 5. Hence, they produce green wickets so that they could get results.

Yes, and I see no problem with that.

I didn't have a problem with the pitch at Chennai either, those complaints weren't warranted. It rewarded the skill of the batsmen and the spinners.

However, a pitch where Joe Root is turning it square is simply not on.

 

[Devadwal]

Will be tough for umpire. It looks like an inside edge.

If it's was bat then root might take instant review

 

[MP2011]

Root got away with one there

Will he fight with umpires for giving incorrect decision?

 

[Sir-fraz]

Tough decision, needed the hot spot for this one

 

[BigShak]

It was always going to look like pad first from mid off angle. You have to go by the straightest angle view to avoid illusions and that showed it was bat first. Indian commies will cry through.

 

[silentkiller187]

Root was saying outside the line which shows he didn’t think he hit it first

 

[Kaptan]

Imo. That was pad-bat-pad

 

[Buffet]

LOL, poor umpiring...

 

[silentkiller187]

Harsha sounding like the Indian posters on here, Swann pointing out the puff of dust to him after every ball and harsha changes the topic

 

[Sir-fraz]

Imo. That was pad-bat-pad

I think so too. He clearly said i didnt hit it lol

 

[pillionrider]

All that crying by England yesterday worked on the 3rd umpire and he gave a wrong decision now. Not enough to overrule the onfield umpire.

Lucky Root

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Root got absolute lucky. Benefit doubt in the review goes with the on field umpire's decision. 3rd umpire strikes again.

 

[Ahmed216]

Is this the first time ever groundsmen have to clean the pitch during every drinks break?

 

[pillionrider]

Good to see some Pak posters have emerged from their busy PSL schedule that had been occupying them, last couple days

 

[Markhor]

Swann is a legend )

 

[Amjid Javed]

Skill levels in this test have been poor overall. Pitch a poor one aswell.

 

[Devadwal]

Now talk about baished umpiring ? Lol

 

[Belawal2014]

That was out.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Harsha sounding like the Indian posters on here, Swann pointing out the puff of dust to him after every ball and harsha changes the topic

Problem is both sides tend to complain a lot when things dont go their way. But ENG historically have been poor that regard. Especially this side which has had an episode of crying every year over the past 3-4 years

 

[James]

This is an outrageously tight game. The margins on every incident are so minuscule.

 

[MP2011]

Third umpire has been consistently poor in this series and this instance was no different.

 

[Devadwal]

This is an outrageously tight game. The margins on every incident are so minuscule.

There was no doubt expect third umpire who think about bat first

 

[Ahmed216]

This is an outrageously tight game. The margins on every incident are so minuscule.

I think England need 50 more to win this game. If joe root nd leach open the bowling

 

[MP2011]

Stokes gone, 11th time Ashwin gets him.

 

[Cric1234]

Root wants to play a 50(120) innings pitch won’t let him better to score quickly before you get out to a wicket ball.

 

[pillionrider]

Stokes. This is massive

 

[jiduguravindra]

I think that was missing leg

 

[silentkiller187]

Problem is both sides tend to complain a lot when things dont go their way. But ENG historically have been poor that regard. Especially this side which has had an episode of crying every year over the past 3-4 years

That’s true , but there’s no defending this pitch, games gonna be done in 2 days

 

[pillionrider]

How many times is it that Ashwin has gotten Stokes now.
12 I think

 

[Markhor]

Good to see some Pak posters have emerged from their busy PSL schedule that had been occupying them, last couple days

I live here so can't be anti-national

Anyway, international cricket > PSL circus cricket for me. Haven't seen a single full match since 2018.

After this I'm watching West Indies-Sri Lanka.

 

[Devadwal]

So England basically 17-4.i think they need 100 more runs

 

[MP2011]

How many times is it that Ashwin has gotten Stokes now.
12 I think

11.

 

[Belawal2014]

That stadium is majestic.

 

[silentkiller187]

Lucky us

Looks like India has kindly obliged by putting on a t20 for the pak fans starved of psl today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I havent watched this test match at all , is the pitch unplayable or what?

 

[Cric1234]

The rest of the batsmen need to chip in with 10-20 runs each.

 

[Buffet]

I think Stokes should have reviewed it to see if it was missing.

 

[MP2011]

Root had been so lucky in this series. Was reprieved in last test as well.

 

[silentkiller187]

I havent watched this test match at all , is the pitch unplayable or what?

It’s a batsmen’s paradise, just stupid batting shots...........according to Indian fans

 

[Buffet]

I havent watched this test match at all , is the pitch unplayable or what?

Horrible batting from both sides.

 

[Markhor]

Keep hearing about Ollie Pope's talent but he needs to start producing knocks of substance instead of being known for theatrical dives in the field, as impressive as they are.

 

[Ahmed216]

I feel for guys who bought stadium tickets for third day.
Normally considered moving day in test cricket

 

[Buffet]

Put 100 more runs here.

 

[MP2011]

Root's luck finally runs out.

 

[IAJ]

Poor pitch, but headless batting as well.

 

[MP2011]

10-for for Axar in only his 2nd test.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

If it's was bat then root might take instant review

It was.

 

[Romali_rotti]

And that's game goodbye England

 

[Last Monetarist]

England effectively 23/5. The chances of getting a lead around 100 are remote.

 

[Devadwal]

Root Lucky inning is over

 

[BreadPakoda]

Like I said yesterday, it’s embarrassing to see this pitch as an Indian fan. A pitch where Joe Root takes 5 wickets in 6 overs is a complete joke.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Game over for England.

 

[Cric1234]

Root wants to play a 50(120) innings pitch won’t let him better to score quickly before you get out to a wicket ball.

 

[Romali_rotti]

This reminds me of watching the matches in Sri Lanka when Murali was bowling on those turning Sri Lanka tracks...

 

[Buffet]

Poor pitch, but headless batting as well.

You got to play in all kinds of pitch. Batsmen are simply looking like a headless chicken. Not using their feet at all.

 

[Belawal2014]

Test match over inside 2 days. Whattay lowevelyyyy pitch.

 

[Buffet]

England effectively 23/5. The chances of getting a lead around 100 are remote.

Eng simply needs to hit shots here. They can't survive by playing normally.

 

[RamLakhan]

Not sure if this venue gets the next game! Probably might get shifted to somewhere else! A slap on the face of "biggest stadium"!

 

[RainStopsPlay]

What a Bowler Axar Patel is! Totally outclassed Ashwin on this pitch. Has 15 wickets in 2 tests against the world #1 batting unit. Dream stuff! He's gonna destroy many records in the near future for sure.

 

[silentkiller187]

Pitch maintenance required mid session in day 2 clearly shows the grounds an got this one wrong.

 

[Cric1234]

You got to play in all kinds of pitch. Batsmen are simply looking like a headless chicken. Not using their feet at all.

That’s not easy too there’s variable bounce short leg and other close in fielders can get a catch from extra bounce.

 

[BreadPakoda]

This reminds me of watching the matches in Sri Lanka when Murali was bowling on those turning Sri Lanka tracks...

This is worse. Murali was an ATG spinner. Here Joe Root is Murali.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Eng simply needs to hit shots here. They can't survive by playing normally.

The foot movement has been nonexisistent all match

 

[IAJ]

Which channel is showing the match in UK/Europe?

 

[Manunited18]

Olli pope needs to fire now.

 

[Buffet]

Both sides were 70-80 for 2 in the first inning. Getting all out before 150 is simply horrible batting. Let's see how much target is set by Eng here and how Indians bat in the second go.

 

[Romali_rotti]

This is worse. Murali was an ATG spinner. Here Joe Root is Murali.

Murali was an atg but he looked super human with the help of those tracks. Even Mends out bowled Murali on his debut series or at worst was on par with Murali.

 

[IMMY69]

Which channel is showing the match in UK/Europe?

Channel 4

 

[IMMY69]

TalkSport2 commentary has been excellent

 

[Buffet]

The foot movement has been nonexisistent all match

Yeah, that's what I have noticed from all batsmen. It's like batsmen are facing turner for the first time in their life. Not using feet at all and crying about pitch reflects poorly.

 

[IAJ]

Channel 4

Thanks. Hope Shiva and Murali are not commentating on Channel 4.
