India (477) defeat England (218 & 195) by an inning and 64 runs to win the 5th Test and the series 4-1

What would Root need to score and get out to get his batting average up to 50?
 
Ashwin again he already get 3 wickets now change him bring kuldeep bumrah not a clever captain
 
Kuldeep aala re! Expecting Bairs to go after him. He has 100th test immunity today
 
Kuldeep took 5 in first innings and was most threatening bowler. Jadeja doesn’t even look threatening at all. But Bumrah can’t even see these little stuff.

I worry that when Rohit goes, there will not any good captain. Both Bumrah and KL have been useless as captains. Not sure if Oabt would be given a chance to be captain in tests.
 
India generally dominate during group stages, JAMODIs, and Tests like this one. So, not surprised at the domination.

During knockouts, they become like cats. They need to work on that.
 
Also Ashwin and Jadeja are on the wane if you see the series. Need to start nurturing couple of good finger spinners.

They should start grooming Gill now for captaincy.

Should give vice captaincy to gill there is no other option

India vs NZ semifinal was a JAMODI?
 
Kuldeep started where he left in the 1st inning. 4th down for England. Bairstow gone.
 
Lol at Stokes. A total liability for his team in this series and no amount of false praise will exonerate him off his dire show, both as a player and as a leader on this tour.
 
Looks like the Bazball leader, Stokes came on field just to inform Root that the evening flights are booked and he has to hurry up. Poor Stokesy couldn't wait till lunch to go back to the dressing room.

An embarassing tour from Stokes ends with all the drama and hype got burst as he failed to play any knock of substance. He got 10 chances and has come out officially as the worst batter in this series from both sides.
 
India have to find a young player kl and bumrah will be disaster captains
Can you guess who was the captain when India lost the decisive 5th test, missing a significant opportunity to defeat England on their home ground during the last tour to England?

England successfully chased down 378 to claim victory in that match.
 
Stokes averaged 19 in this series with bat. I don't think he can hold his spot as batsman with this kind of batting.

Bumrah was the captain i think he was also the captain in wtc final
 
Indian selection and management are highly reactive systems. They just don't have any gene to think proactively

No, he is playing in the team as a "revolutionary" specialist captain. A Morgan like character because he won a series in Pakistan by doing nothing of note with bat there also.
 
This series has exposed England team. Usually teams do better as the series progresses, but they have regressed badly.
 
Agree. India needs to learn from bangladesh so they can be tigers everywhere
He is going to sing the same tune with that 10 year window forgetting the fact india has won all the tournaments that is available. He also would indicate it is so easy to dominate league stage lol RIght now that is the only one thing he has to troll India. Once India does that he will have to search for new excuses.
 
Cant believe Pakistan were whitewashed in Pakistan by this English team :stokes
 
Heavy defeat loading for England. India on top now.

All tests are important, especially now because of WTC system. Even before, tests had maximum importance, even dead rubbers. This is where legacies are made, can't compare this wonderful format with JAMODIs.
 
Why does Johnny B Badd constantly get into issues with the keeper and slip cordon? This time with Jurel, Shubman, and Sarfaraz.

Hes too easy to rile up.

In the Caribbean , Joshua Da Silva scored a ton and then when Johnny was batting easily goaded him into playing a stupid shot and England lost the series.

Indian close in fielders have upped their chirping whenever he has come to the crease and it has worked every time
 
Apparently that is the 7th time Ashwin has got Duckett’s wicket. Classic situation of the psychological hold. Duckett didn’t trust his defence, he was out of ideas and out of shots against Ashwin, so in his mind the only remaining option was to come down the pitch and attack. Far too easy a dismissal to give away. Duckett is building a reasonable record in international cricket but he needs to work on his defensive technique.
Ashwin vs Stokes is an even bigger psychological match up in favor of the Indian. This is now in the McGrath vs Atherton, Ambrose vs Atherton, Warne vs Cullinan territory.
 
Indian bowlers now circling the English batters like vultures trying to bag some wickets.
 
Cant believe Pakistan were whitewashed in Pakistan by this English team :stokes
This England team can beat any other team and win the series but not India and Australia. sri lanka and west indies to play against England I am pretty sure bazball will run through them
 
Former England captain Sir Alastair Cook, speaking on TNT Sports:

"It's sad the 700th wicket is going to be glossed over by the fact England have batted so poorly in this session.

"To lose five wickets is not unforgivable, but it's poor batting. The end-of-tour-itis I think has definitely reared its head."
 
Apparently Duckett gifted his wkt to Ashwin but Bashir foxed Jaiswall, according to Nick Knight.
There is a lot of poor reading of dismissals that goes on. The batting error is relevant, but bowlers don’t get nearly enough credit for the way they get into their heads over the course of a series and set them up at the crease.
 
interesting stat : Indians to dismiss a batter most times in Tests : 13 - R ASHWIN to BEN STOKES . 12 - Kapil Dev to Mudassar Nazar . 11 - R Ashwin to David Warner . 11 - Ishant Sharma to Alastair Cook .

Yes.. The commentary team from both sides have been very poor. No homework or insights whatsoever.
 
Match ending so fast after this no international match for India in three months will miss international matches :ssmith
 
Will Stokes & Baz stick to '' fearless & brave forever '' brand going forward ? ps : Cannot see Stokes lasting for more than a year btw !
 
Sanju M is especially poor communicator.

I can't bear his commentary or presentation interviews.
Sanju and Harsha have been the quintessential sycophants. Gavaskar and Shastri are the masters of stating the obvious stock lines. Murali Kartik is the quiz master asking questions to his master Sunny G
 
This isn't a difficult pitch to bat on, with proper application a batting side could have scored 400 here. England have mentally checked out, only Root showing fight.

Their jobs are permanent and secure, so no need to change their styles, just like Government babus
 
Hartley have no issue to face spinners bumrah have to bring fast bowlers
 
Sarfaraz giving back to Wood what he got while batting. Wood not liking it.. Such cry babies
 
WICKET! Wood lbw b Bumrah 0 - England 141-8

England fans, look away now! Bumrah strikes again.
