India batted extremely well yesterday to reach their total yesterday

Useless India. 3-1 like I told everyone.

I am ashamed at all those who doubted me, hate or support. Im the greatest of all time.

Any test where jaiswal scores a century, or bumrah exists is useless. Crap team

Bro this indian so called best team has failed to defend 350 totals almost 3 times you were spot on with your prediction

Root seizes major WTC milestone as England eye series win

The England batter distanced himself atop the World Test Championship runs chart during the fifth Test chase against India.

Shouldering England’s chase on Day 4 of the series decider against India, Joe Root created ICC World Test Championship (WTC) history.

The seasoned England batter became the first-ever to notch 6000 runs in the tournament.

Featuring in his 69th Test, Root is the leading run-getter in WTC, having featured in all four editions of the tournament so far.

Most Runs in World Test Championship

• Joe Root – 69* matches, 6000* runs
• Steve Smith – 55 matches, 4278 runs
• Marnus Labuschagne – 53 matches, 4225 runs
• Ben Stokes – 57 matches, 3616 runs
• Travis Head – 52 matches, 3300 runs

Boasting 20 centuries and 22 half-centuries, Root averages over 52, and is followed by Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Ben Stokes and Travis Head in the top-five of the WTC charts.

The former England skipper has been on a milestone-achieving spree during the ongoing five-Test series against India.

In Manchester, Root had overtaken Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting to become the second-highest run-getter in Men’s Tests.

He is also joint-fourth in the tally for most centuries in the longest format of the game - 38 - alongside Kumar Sangakkara.

The 34-year-old also has the most catches as an outfield player in the longest format, a tally he topped during the ongoing series against India.

Root’s form with the bat holds England in good stead as they continue to embark on a big chase against India with the five-Test series on the line.

The hosts currently lead 2-1 following memorable wins at Headingley and Lord’s.

yea flat pitch
always tullas get lucky with conditions and pitch flattening out.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Why jadeja is such a mediocre spinner when the pitch is not a dustbowl.

I would say noman ali and sajid khan would have done better than what jadeja is doing in england average with ball is 60 pathetic

 

[ElRaja]

Even that eagle looking guy ishant sharma with average of over 30 was better than these trundlers.

ishant sharma was a world class test bowler in the second half of his career, think he averaged 25 over his last 3 or 4 years. sharma, shami, yadav were all superior to this lot.

Keep up england. That score popped out in mind and now they are very close to it.

I could have wished for something else. LOL.

 

[RamLakhan]

This loss will hurt this team. I still think only one out of Jadeja and Sundar should be playing (in SENA). We cannot be carried away with their batting. A proper spinner can give a breakthrough on any flat pitch. That is what India needed and the support the pacers required. A proper bowling unit/combination can defend even 300. In spite of all the high moments in the series the final reading 3-0 is very disappointing and team selection has to be blamed for this.

We deserve to drop down a tier in Test cricket.

Jasprit Bumrah should be permanently dropped from this side.
No team can afford to have a bowler who keeps disturbing the combinations every game.

Only way to treat these Indian pacers is keep hitting them for runs. Don't allow them to settle A bit like 90's.

England are making the same mistake again.

Thanks for heeding my morning advice Harry.

Now go on finish the game. It will save us a lot of nonsense from the glory hunting Indian clown gang.

Not yet. You are still here.

Worst captaincy by Gill too. Not bringing spinners (whoever it is) at least after 30 overs. Even SENA teams don't delay bringing their spinner early. Cricket is based on rhythm and momentum, you should attack when the opposition are down.

Where is the highly paid Chukrah when India needs him? Lemme guess. Getting a paid holiday.
