[CrIc_Mystique]

cmon ladss....

 

[jnaveen1980]

India with out world no.2 ranked bowler in their side

 

[drubwrubnat]

God when will DKs contract end with Sky !
Sick of his “batters” and pakau analysis, irksome really

 

[BreadPakoda]

India better win this game.

Or else it would be the ULTIMATE troll for us.

Pujara, Rahane and Ishant performing and cementing their spots.

Ishant...atleast understandable but the former 2 are hopeless.

With 2 traditional English pitches upcoming.


[MENTION=139664]street cricketer[/MENTION]

Wait, I noticed English fans sooking about the conditions for the next 2 tests already. Which is hilarious, because these are their home conditions. But that’s besides the point, are the next 2 pitches going to be “traditional” aka green mambas?

 

[sindhiboy]

Moeen was gone if not for the no ball.
There is still movement in the pitch.

Virat may have dropped the match for india

 

[jnaveen1980]

Come on Butler. Do a classic leave and get bowled.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Moeen gone

 

[MP2011]

Moeen finally gone.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Moeen was gone if not for the no ball.
There is still movement in the pitch.

Virat may have dropped the match for india

He took the catch this time though.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Moeen's luck ran out. Gone.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We are getting closer......

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ashwin was there in Adelaide

As the sole spinner.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

siraj...ya byuti...cmon lads...

 

[Ab Fan]

Moeen Bhai was never going to last till end. Let see what Curran does now.

 

[MP2011]

Curran on king pair.

 

[Devadwal]

Just come and wicket gone

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Wont be green mambas per se but traditionally strong english grounds.

Leeds and manchester.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Curran gone too. Siraj on a hattrick.

 

[Ab Fan]

Siraj is FIRE

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Wow wow wow siraj 2 in 2

 

[MP2011]

King pair for Curran!

Siraj on fire!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Siraj

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bah gawd, the pacers are running riot . Moeen and then sam curran gone .Siraj you beauty . Dislike these two the most and Miyan got rid of them in successive deliveries.

 

[jnaveen1980]

2 in 2

 

[Ab Fan]

SKY must ask DK if he is getting paid for commentary or cheerleading lol

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli sledging Robinson

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Siraj....wowser....
king pair for curran...
cmon india.....

 

[Romali_rotti]

Oh boy looks like I maybe wrong, India might pull this off..

 

[street cricketer]

Miya bhai on fyaah

 

[drubwrubnat]

Siraj gun !
Dk bhai ghar jaane ka kya loge

 

[Devadwal]

What a aggression by Siraj

 

[Romali_rotti]

What the hell Siraj acting like he wants to punch Robinson lol...


Relax kid, just finish the match off, no need for antics...

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

DK should do commentary in TNPL.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nasty ball climbs on Ollie and he gets sprayed a few verbal as well.

 

[sharmaji]

3 more wickets left!!! C'mon guys!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

cmon,.....get all 10 guys around robbo...
i still think robbo is one of the new finds of the seires....
and i seriously think Siraj is going to be a frequent visitor to the match ref's rooms and willbe parting with a significant part of his earnings to the ICC, if he does not tone down some of the histronics....

 

[Devadwal]

Don't waste over ,just ball wicket to wicket

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We will close this out.

Buttler has to play out of his skin to save this.

Cmon.

 

[Saj]

In the faces of the England team.

Letting them know they are in trouble.

Love it.

England seem rattled.

 

[Babbar]

SKY must ask DK if he is getting paid for commentary or cheerleading lol

I though SKY commentators are always so biased against India. It’s the perspective I guess.

 

[MP2011]

Great keeping from Pant.

 

[Devadwal]

Need Butler wicket otherwise its gonna be draw

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Great keeping from Pant.

yep....considering the late swing, its terrific keeping....the scorecard might show byes...but its difficult to keep....
he's dived a lot....will have a good nights sleep

 

[Ahmed216]

England once had a good test side and they sucked at LOI's. Now its the opposite.

 

[sharmaji]

Where are the Yorkers????

 

[MP2011]

Jaffa from Shami.

 

[jnaveen1980]

But for the drop game would have been over already.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

God when will DKs contract end with Sky !
Sick of his “batters” and pakau analysis, irksome really

He's grown on me tbh...

 

[sindhiboy]

Lol. The whole indian team was ganging up on Robinson when he came to the crease

 

[jnaveen1980]

30 extras out of 102 runs !

 

[MP2011]

Buttler lucky again.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian bowlers were fabulous on day 5. Just that catching was not that good.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Lol. The whole indian team was ganging up on Robinson when he came to the crease

well, he had a lot to say to our guys as well...so its fair game even stevens..

 

[Smbhayi]

Don't want to be in a situation where England has only 3 wkts left and Kohli regrets it declaring late.

.............

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is the first time no indian spinner has taken a single wicket in first two tests in England.

 

[Devadwal]

Time is running out .only 45 min left

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

.............

Thanks. I was trying to find it too.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

VK is finished. Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field. Time to drop him and put domestic performers like Sarfraz Khan into the team.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Time is running out .only 45 min left

Wont 16 overs be bowled?

 

[Smbhayi]

Why is Kohli getting so excited?

They lost to New Zealand - this Test doesn’t count.

It’s as if England lost the Euro’2020 Final to Italy, but then get excited because they beat Liechtenstein in their next warm-up match!

How does it not count? It'll help us to move up the WTC table..

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wont 16 overs be bowled?

am not sure but rule is last hour has 15 mandatory....i guess after this over....will be 15 mandatory....

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

am not sure but rule is last hour has 15 mandatory....i guess after this over....will be 15 mandatory....

So 16 overs....

As per schedule.

 

[Last Monetarist]

Wont 16 overs be bowled?

Time is not a consideration on the final day, the minimum number of overs scheduled to be bowled are assured if light is acceptable.

 

[Justcrazy]

India inching close to win here

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Time is not a consideration on the final day, the minimum number of overs scheduled to be bowled are assured if light is acceptable.

Thanks.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bumrah rising to the occassion here , bowling great spell

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli to England batters - "Needs a survival in every test match at home". Love it

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Last hour, last day....
3 good deliveries...

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What happ to Ishant runup?

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Will VKs drop prove to be costly?

 

[Devadwal]

Confirm they have to ball all 15 over

 

[Robert]

Wait, I noticed English fans sooking about the conditions for the next 2 tests already. Which is hilarious, because these are their home conditions. But that’s besides the point, are the next 2 pitches going to be “traditional” aka green mambas?

Unlikely. Headingley is usually a good batting strip these days, Oval starts off hard then breaks up and takes spin, OT is similar to Oval.

But I thought Lords’s would be green and it isn’t. There might be a downpour in September making the two harder wickets softer. With climate change kicking in it’s even harder to tell the weather than before.

90 balls to go.

 

[Devadwal]

Butler is saving England here

 

[Mahee]

though both the matches ended in a draw, India has had the upper hand so far in this series

 

[Ab Fan]

Buttler should be dropped for Foakes.

 

[guna]

A tail that can bat has put India in a position to win and a tail that can bat is helping England draw the Test.

 

[Last Monetarist]

Kohli's elaborate gamesmanship with the declaration is going to haunt India. That's four additional overs that he lost needlessly because he wanted to frustrate England for ten extra minutes.

 

[Devadwal]

78 ball left

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

deserve to go 1-0 if not 2-0 up..

 

[Last Monetarist]

Buttler should be dropped for Foakes.

Foakes hasn't quite recovered from his hamstring tear in May.
