What's new

India (587 & 427/6d) defeat England (407 & 271) by 336 runs in 2nd Test at Edgbaston

Need to takes 3 wickets in the morning session and please Bowl with a plan( Off stump line) instead bowling on leg side. :kp
How can we do it? Wasim and Waqar would have got smashed for 800 here

Atleast our players are containing I guess. So that itself is a bonus
 
People have had become extreme in their views to test cricket over the years.

People are talking about batting the whole day, individuals scoring triple century, scoring over 500-600 batting second as if it is routine in cricket. You still need the skills and determination to cash in on a phatta.

Scoreboard pressure is a very real.
He was joined by Jadeja when the score was 211/5. How the heck people think it is easy to score 269 from there given the back to back to back collapses of lower order. Only ignorant people with no clue can say that.
 
Infact root should score 500. Beat Lara's fc record but in international :vk2
 
According to reports, Stomes has refused to swallow his pride and settle for a draw.

Meaning Chances are india will win as England will not just bat it out hoping for draws
 
Too many no balls , I don't want a wicket on no ball so please correct the run-up :kp
 
Well it has been fun 🫡.

It seems that karma + over confidence got the better of me. Good bye 👋🏻 😪 😢 🙂 😌 😔 👋🏻 😪 😢 🙂 😌 😔

Lagann khaan sei ata rahta hai? Crap movie.
 
Eng will be like a 100/6 in the first hour I feel on the 3rd day.... This match has slipped away from Eng...

Just as I predicted Eng well on the way to 100/6 in the first hour....

Joe Root was an easy prediction, bro never shows up the minute there is microscopic pressure.

Astaghfirullahhhhhh
 
Saar this is pitch is highway so anyone can score the century here.
England batsman
Duckett 🦆
Pope 🦆
Stokes 🦆

Lol dw, I dont run. I don't cricket as seriously as everyone. I just adopt an online persona to destroy 😣😣.

But I will destroy later. I just felt bad for indians so I am letting you guys off the hook
 
Stokes is very overhyped just because he is Angrez. Jadeja is a better all rounder than him anyday.
I don't like Jadeja especially in away tests but even then he is comfortably better than overrated Stokes.

I find Flintoff better than Stokes.
 
We understand Pakistani's Obsession with India... If India is losing they will come up with all guns blazing & treating every opponent who beat India as their own! And when India is winning they will try to come up with some kind of conspiracy theories! If they can't do both, they will escape!

And Indians on the other hand (true Indian Cricket Fans) were appreciating the Pakistan team of 90s, the Wasims, Waqars... and envied their talent... And now Indians normally don't follow Pakistani cricket at all (mostly) because there is hardly any interesting stuff with them (the reality), they ignore (instead of mocking them)...

Pakistanis can either choose to appreciate OR ignore the Indian Team's success (I am glad we will find our way back even in Tests - after the exit of oldies...) instead of becoming jokers!
 
Although genuinely for both indian fans and Pakistani fans, I dont understand one thing.

Why do you all run away 24/7 🤣🤣. Its so cringe. Just a sport bro.

Might be another similarity with the dwarf that he is chasing…

This is such a rookie team in terms of experience, combination wise as well. Going through one of their biggest transitionThey are playing in their own den. They won the toss. They have a settled bazball team with no.1 batsman and no.2 batsman in the world. Many rookie teams will get blown away by this England. It is more India that lost than England won in the first test despite all that. India
 
Stokes is a bang average cricketer who had one ATG summer in 2019.

I agree that he is extremely overrated. He has been washed for years now and he also needs to be removed as captain because of his suicidal methodologies.

The Ashes, India tour and Pakistan tour have proved this captaincy is just PR nonsense. If he fumbles this series he should definitely be on the chopping block. If not, the Ashes Down Under will surely end his career. @Markhor
 
Brooks will showcase why he is the greatest talent and prodigy of this generation :vk2
 
Since becoming Test captain in April 2022,

Stokes averages 33 with the bat in 34 Tests with just 2 centuries and has taken zero 5 wicket hauls.

The PR protection is insane. He has been utterly mediocre and probably doesn’t make the best England XI.

His presence makes both the batting and bowling weaker at the same time. England would be better off playing an extra batsman or bowler in his stead, or they can play Bethell who is a better player right now.
 
Root misses out on breaking Lara’s record on a flat pitch.

Brook can still do it if the lower order, tail supports him

Stokes deserves this humiliation
 
Too many easy boundaries being conceded to these flashers.
 
Stokes deserves this humiliation
100%, but not the first time.

He gifted Australia the first Test in the 2023 Ashes while his deluded fans thought he had pulled off a masterstroke.

England won have won that series 3-1 with a more pragmatic captain and not someone who just wants to be praised by the media for his inventive tactics.
 
Brook is very very good and Indian fans need to accept it. He is a cracking player and better than KP.

KP have won the series in india for England. Come back when Brooks play a high quality innings like KP played at Mumbai. Brooks is FTB and total sissy against quality spinners.

:kp
 
All hail the greatest A/R stokes for a duck 🦆 :inti

Best since :kallis is only Jadeja. Proved!
 
Why they are bowling on leg side , if they have any plan then set the field accordingly. :kp
 
Is Bumrah the bowling equivalent of Kohli/Rohit...? In his absense they are bowling with proper discipline & intent...

Series in India was won by best England spin duo ever. Swann and Panesar.

Only time I saw an England attack capable of picking 20 wickets/game in India over the course of a series
 
Tmr and day after it is raining the whole day at Edgbaston.

My prediction of Indian not winning a single game will prove to be correct.

Yes they played the part as well but the way kp attacked on India spinners was insane. He changed the series direction after England lost the first test.

To win a test series that's too Away from home , Half of the team players need to performed.

Cook , KP and Swann & Panesar were the hero of that series.
