India [329 & 352/7d] beat England [161 & 317] by 203 runs to win 3rd Test Match

[ManFan]

And he does it.

On a side note, absolute shambles from England.

 

[Big Mac]

That looks like a no ball

 

[Mamoon]

Do we get that extra half hour now that the game is nearly over?

Hopefully. Common sense should prevail, and not the “let’s call lunch even though India needs only two runs to win the match” sense.

 

[ManFan]

Oops.

 

[Oligochaetes]

One no ball cost him the CT . Second might have cost him a 5 wicket haul....oops...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hope Bumrah continues to churn up these fantastic no-balls in the Asia Cup :fakhar

 

[Joginder_Sharma]

Bumrah keeps bowling no-balls. As I have said before, I have this nightmarish feeling of him bowling a no-ball in one of the knockout matches of next year's WC and in turn knocking India out.

 

[Varun]

So Bumrah has potentially missed out on a 5-fer because of a no-ball.

If this doesn't make him learn, nothing will.

Why worried about Indian trundlers, they are trundlers.

 

[Sam99]

So bumrah comes back and now both pandya and bumrah helped us to win this match. Bring their ipl captain Rohit Sharma and we will win the series?

 

[Justcrazy]

India two good balls away from win here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Not everyone is Joginder Sharma.

 

[ManFan]

Why worried about Indian trundlers, they are trundlers.

Bowling at 140+ is not trundling.

So bumrah comes back and now both pandya and bumrah helped us to win this match. Bring their ipl captain Rohit Sharma and we will win the series?

Bumrah returns and has impact...Just shows what if Bhuvi was available for first and second test match

 

[Asif321]

very good comeback by india after 2-0 thrashing . England should adjust Curan somehow he gives different angle .Jennings and cook are doing nothing need to ponder on that too

 

[Justcrazy]

rashid gets that away

 

[introvert]

Rashid bhai kal eid manani hai. Khatam karo match yaar.

 

[Varun]

No-ballrah getting carted by Rashid!

The gods are unhappy with his overstepping.

 

[Big Mac]

haha Rashid going for the win here

 

[Usman Chadda]

Why worried about Indian trundlers, they are trundlers.

Who says I’m worried?

 

[Varun]

We gave Rashid two wickets, now to shower him with a few runs so he can ensure his spot for the next test.

 

[ManFan]

Bumrah might be having them Vietnam flashbacks...

 

[JaDed]

It's ok for the no ball, but Bumrah needs to let go and concentrate.

 

[Varun]

Only 252 more to win...

 

[Sam99]

Only 252 more to win...

Rashid can score 200. Broad and Anderson might manage 52.

 

[Varun]

Rashid can score 200. Broad and Anderson might manage 52.

Bumrah will help with a few no-balls along the way should they come up short...

 

[dravidthewall]

There is no place for ifs and buts in cricket.

Yeah right..but looking at bumrah bowling..we missed good opprtunity

 

[Justcrazy]

Rashid playing a few shots here

 

[Varun]

Be a bit dumb if we have to come back tomorrow just for these two...

 

[Sam99]

Bumrah will help with a few no-balls along the way should they come up short...

and few drops from our king captain kohli

 

[Big Mac]

Dropped catch, India choking. Is that the turning point in this match?

 

[Oligochaetes]

I switched off when Holding and Bhajji came on to commentate.....ehhhh.... couldn't stand it...


Will refresh this page now n then

 

[dravidthewall]

Rashid and broad may win it for england

 

[Sam99]

Bumrah bowls too many no bowls. Ishant has worked on it and now bowls way less than before. I don't remember Shami or Umesh bowling alot no balls.

 

[Rahul1]

Why do these things happen only to us.

 

[Big Mac]

Why do these things happen only to us.

Because you don't watch other team's test matches

 

[Oligochaetes]

Because you don't watch other team's test matches

Yehahaha... correct answer!

 

[Oligochaetes]

India wanna take the game to the next day... do that people who got tickets for tomorrow don't suffer..

So kind.

 

[BlackShadow]

India has problems finishing off matches. It is almost a ritual now to drop 2-3 sitters with win at sight.

 

[Varun]

It's bloody hard enough winning overseas tests without bowling no-balls and dropping catches.

 

[Syed1]

England have India right where they want them

 

[Buffet]

This is probably the best bowling unit of India I have seen.

 

[JaDed]

Shouldn't panic, Kohli needs to be calm and get his team through.

 

[Big Mac]

Don't know what India are doing here.

Just bowl at the stumps to Broad because he's scared of a bouncer every ball.

 

[JaDed]

Hopefully it doesn't rain off tmrw.

 

[Buffet]

Don't know what India are doing here.

Just bowl at the stumps to Broad because he's scared of a bouncer every ball.

Yorker and bouncer, just two balls should be bowled to Broad.

 

[JaDed]

Kohli should had been a bowler, would had made things interesting, but has the worst bowling action in history even worse than Paul Adams.

 

[Syed1]

Imagine how much closer this match would have been at this point in time had England just scored a 100 more runs in their first innings.

 

[Oligochaetes]

That outswinger from Ashwin is an amazing delivery... That guy is a genius!

 

[Varun]

Kohli should had been a bowler, would had made things interesting, but has the worst bowling action in history even worse than Paul Adams.

It's actually mildly annoying that all of our batsmen are very reluctant bowlers.

If we want to switch it up a little bit a la with Sehwag / Sachin / Ganguly etc in years past, we can't.

 

[Rahul1]

Imagine how much closer this match would have been at this point in time had England just scored a 100 more runs in their first innings.

Imagine if Butter was not dropped when he was on zero.

 

[Big Mac]

Yorker and bouncer, just two balls should be bowled to Broad.

No point wasting your time with a bouncer to Broad.

 

[JaDed]

Good Bumrah!

 

[Syed1]

Imagine if Butter was not dropped when he was on zero.

Oh I didn't know he was dropped... I wasn't following the match, thought India would have wrapped it up sooner. Anyways last wicket to go.

 

[Josh]

Bumrah finally gets a fifer.

 

[JaDed]

Imagine how much closer this match would have been at this point in time had England just scored a 100 more runs in their first innings.

Or if we had bumrah in first test..?

 

[Buffet]

No point wasting your time with a bouncer to Broad.

I always laugh seeing him trying to run away anything directed at his body, so I will still bowl 1-2 bouncers.

 

[ManFan]

Well done Bumrah.

Deserved it.

 

[Third Man]

Rahul is a fantastic slipper. Hasn't missed anything.

 

[BlackShadow]

Or if we had bumrah in first test..?

Imagine hi karna hai to Bhuvi karo.

 

[Buffet]

Indian pacers keeping their pace entire day. 10 years back, it was not possible for them to bowl fast for entire day.

 

[the_outsider]

That outswinger from Ashwin is an amazing delivery... That guy is a genius!

Seriously. Anderson would have been proud of that outswinger.

Ashwin's approach to his cricket is similar to Kohli - always trying to up their game. Ashwin is now a off-spinner/leg-spinner/swing bowler. LoL.

 

[Savak]

Indian pacers keeping their pace entire day. 10 years back, it was not possible for them to bowl fast for entire day.

Indian Fitness standards have gone 10 notches up while Pakistan has gone 10 notches down.

 

[BlackShadow]

-Bumrah wont last long with his action.
-Bumrah will get found out in months.
-Bumrah wont bowl fast for long.
-Bumrah is not Test quality..Etc etc

And this boy keeps proving everyone wrong.

 

[Oligochaetes]

7 catches for Rahul in this test. The next Dravid?

 

[BlackShadow]

Indian Fitness standards have gone 10 notches up while Pakistan has gone 10 notches down.

I heard Pakistani players do better at Yoyo test.

 

[Varun]

We always take years to get rid of the tail.

 

[Sam99]

-Bumrah wont last long with his action.
-Bumrah will get found out in months.
-Bumrah wont bowl fast for long.
-Bumrah is not Test quality..Etc etc

And this boy keeps proving everyone wrong.

Bumrah is just playing 4th test. With this action he will get injured but not found out. He will keep bowling fast as well but only thing is injury and workload. Though very skillful and intelligent cricketer he is at such young age.

 

[Varun]

-Bumrah wont last long with his action.
-Bumrah will get found out in months.
-Bumrah wont bowl fast for long.
-Bumrah is not Test quality..Etc etc

And this boy keeps proving everyone wrong.

Bumrah's action is great.

For England players who have grown up against a bowling machine they will have no idea where the next delivery will be released from.

 

[troodon]

Nice aggressive fast bowling front shami, Bumrah and Ishant.

All of them have bowled at good pace all throughout the match.

 

[Big Mac]

That back foot punch was Sachin-esque

 

[Tyler Durden]

This Shami is rubbish. Bowls so many loose deliveries. Missing Bhuvi.

 

[ManFan]

Wish it was the 5th day...

 

[Varun]

This is lame.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rashid has batted well , but his main suit is bowling , and he has failed in that

 

[BlackShadow]

This Shami is rubbish. Bowls so many loose deliveries. Missing Bhuvi.

I think we are done with Bhuvi for this season, and thats unfortunate. He was going to be our trump card in England, but he didn't play at all.

Now I guess it's Aussie tour next? Even if he is fit, I doubt he will make the cut for conditions there.

 

[Varun]

Rashid has batted well , but his main suit is bowling , and he has failed in that

He keeps getting Kohli out though.

 

[Varun]

Coming back tomorrow just for this is a joke.

 

[Big Mac]

I reckon India are in the driving seat here

 

[Justcrazy]

England survive stumps
