manjrekar said we should stop looking at kohli as jimmy's bunny insteadlook at virat being rashid's bunny.

Lol will be funny if it rains tomorrow.
In this match too Men were playing against Boys. Only difference is Men were on the other side.![]()
Hope Rashid scores a gritty half century tomorrow and secures his place for the next test...skillful player and lad deserves it ����
Yepp...Curran is just 20year old and inexperienced as well..cant risk him..hope english management takes a good look at legend Rashid performance in this match and persists with him throughout the series...lad got some crucial wkts and made useful runs down the order...cant drop him for sure!!!I don’t want to see Sam Curran in England lineup. He is a beast when there is cloud cover.
Quite foolish. Chases of this magnitude will need a strong opening partnership to have any chance whatsoever. For all the records that have been broken recently in cricket, West Indies' highest ever chase won't be broken for a long, long time.Sympathy to those who dreamt of an English fight back while Butt and Stokes were playing.
Bowling at 140+ is not trundling.![]()
What a time for Ashwin to have that hip injury. Was a perfect opportunity for hi. today to bowl us to a win. Records books will show he bowled 20 overs for no wickets again.
Also, with him likely to be sidelined now, good opportunity to get Jadeja for 4th Test and later, play both Jadeja andKuldeep at Oval.
Kuldeep in place of whom?
Probably Shami who has been the least effective bowler after Ashwin.
Kuldeep in place of whom?
Nottinghamshire have decided to give a refund to all those who had bought tickets for the final day.Admission will be free.
Oh dear.
Fifth day looks like a wash out...
Is it raining? According to reports there shouldn't be any till tea time today!

8 day break in between the two tests. Too long for us fans, good for the players.
Indians can go another Europe tour![]()
Hey Robbie [MENTION=7774]Robert[/MENTION], what happened brother? Is it true that so called Dumbslog millionaires just beat your lot?? Lol
Show some humility or did you forget the recent thrashing no 1 team got in the last test?
What do you mean? It was he who called Indian team Dumbslog millionaires during lords test. So I am just asking (politely), how the mighty English lost against such a team??

No,he has had bad spells at best but is not least effective. Jaddu will come in for Ash(coz injury).
Anderson and Broad bowled a lot of overs in this match. There's a good chance that England might not be able to play both of them for the next two matches.
We might see Curran coming in for Broad.
Also surprised that Broad actually has a test century. He seems even less capable with the bat than Shami.

He got hit on his head once while batting. He has lost his batting talent ever since. Its crazy when you think about the psychological aspect of the game and how one bad incident can absolutely kill your Mojo.
He was a budding allrounder in his younger days. He copped a bouncer to the face and self admittedly basically lost confidence/will/desire in his batting after that.
His century came in the test the no-ball fixing scandal broke so it was a very strange match, with a dispirited bowling attack.

That's very unfortunate. It's never nice to hear about players getting injured on the field, especially when they leave mental scars.
He should have hired Mohinder Amarnath (my favorite Indian cricketer along with Sunil Gavaskar) as a "courage coach". Hit on the head by Holding, he came back from his injury and stood tall and hooked the very next ball.
"Mohinder Amarnath's bravery for India was a lesson for the cricket world", The Guardian, "Richard Hadlee fractured his skull, Imran Khan knocked him unconscious, Malcolm Marshall dislodged his teeth, Thomson cracked his jaw and Michael Holding sent him to hospital to have stitches put in his head."

Weird, given that everyone before the nineties was a dibble dobbly slow medium pacer and the ball never had enough force behind it to do any damage.
Pretty sure even a 70 mph ball can knock a batsman's teeth out if he's not wearing a helmet.

India have won this Test match convincingly with Pandya being the difference in England's 1st Innings.
But they still have two more Tests and the next one is at the Rose Bowl.
India will probably win at the Oval so the next match should decide the fate of the series.
From the sounds of it Amarnath should have hired a "How to get out of the way of bouncers coach"
India is not going to win 3-2. It's unlikely. If I am right, only one team in entire history has come back from 0-2 to win a test series.
Why would you want to introduce rude facts into this discussion ?
Anil Kumble Ended Saba Karims career and was also responsible for fracturing Graeme Smiths ribs .

Nothing like that. I was only pointing out the flaw in Robert's premise. His intended message still stands, however.
Iam not sure you know this but according to [MENTION=7774]Robert[/MENTION] almost EVERytHING in cricket was better back in the day. Bowlers were faster and better the batsmen even better ... pitches a big nightmare to bat on and not to forget they were all just as much professionals as the current lot. Just as long as you dont ask difficult questions. Once you do ...... you will get the silent treatment .

Oh. I see. Well it's easy to romanticize the past. But surely that's not true. It's not true for any sport, not just cricket.
I believe it has more to do with nostalgia rather than facts. Of course genuinely great players back then like Sobers, Viv, Lillee, the WI fast bowlers, etc were special or else they wouldn't receive such universal acclaim but to assume that overall standards were far superior back then is pure bullox.
To answer your question look at Jack Hobbs batting footage and you will know that nobody will pay money to watch him bat today. But I can assure you he was a big celebrity and considered a special player more than any WI fast bowler from the 70s was. How is that possible?
Don’t be daft, nobody before the nineties was that quick. Amanarth clearly had no technique against fast bowling because it didn’t exist then.Pretty sure even a 70 mph ball can knock a batsman's teeth out if he's not wearing a helmet.
As for the injuries, perhaps he had some sort of condition like Sam Jackson in Unbreakable.
