That was the lowest low in entire history of Indian Cricket. A black mark in Indian Cricket...! But that was needed to boot out Rohit & Kohli from our test team...

Except it didn't!

Kohli still played and lost us the BGT and Rohit too merrily picked and chose the tests he played.
 
Will be surprised India bowl Poms out in less than 4 sessions.

India playing for a draw? But why doesn’t make sense
 
They should have declared two overs before and that too with 550 runs lead.
 
Thank God, selectors didn't agree to Kohli's demand of being our test skipper and Rohit demanding to play only 2 tests in this series or else we still would have been seeing their manhoos faces in the XI!
 
Imran Khan would have scored 25 off the over right now and told Stokes to buzz off.
 
just remember in county teams have scored 700 to 800 runs

hence why no target is safe

if there is enough overs. 100 overs to chase is good
we can get them
 
who brings pitches in that much lmao

no wonder its easy to score runs

wasim and waqar would have conceded over 150 in these pitches vs marauding bazzballers.
 
Indians badly want a draw. They are no longer confident in defeating their invaders.

100 year trauma will do that to you. In the same way I bring trauma to those indians who interact with me
 
India is making mockery of bazball cricket. Good now time for declaration in few overs :kp
 
Gill is a sissy and a flat track bully. What is he chasing now? Because it doesn’t seem like he is chasing a win here.
 
Most runs ever scored in a test match by an individual :-

Gooch 456 vs India
Taylor 426 vs Pakistan
Sangakkara 424 vs Bangladesh
Gill 412* vs England
Lara 400 vs England

Gill has overtaken Lara in the all time list
 
It is about making the most of new ball (bowlers), if batsmen see-off the new ball (whether openers or middle order), there's nothing you can do on this pitch... So its a bit like chess game... Have to say Siraj & Akash Deep bowled really well with the new balls (both times) with full intesity and focus... Also Indian batsmen handled the new balls well this time (without exposing it to lesser batsmen & induce panic - 1st Test kind of that happened...)

I suspect apart from the pitch, the quality of ball has played a role in this series (ball loosing softness pretty soon). Pacers are not getting any kind of bounce or reverse swing with old ball and spinners can't able to grip...

Bro in this situation can you blame them?

The real negativity is from India at the moment.

Why not? They term themselves as thekedars of test cricket. Bowling negative lines doesn't prop up test cricket.

It's poor cricket from us too

No they haven't termed themselves this.

Indians gave them this title out of anger.

By the way I don't mind either approach. Its part of th charm of the game.

But try to explain it to someone whom isn't familiar with cricket and you will get an amazed reaction


"The bowling team is not trying to get wickets, and the batting team is not trying to score runs"

Lara’s 400 was criticised, Gill’s would be too as he is the captain.

Batting team is playing as fast as they can, the problem is there are enough runs on the board

Batting team is getting runs, albeit bit slowly courtesy negative lines employed by bowling team, that's how I see it

Batting team is scoring at near 5 RPO. Bowling team is the one trying negative tactics.
 
This is mental weakness which will eventually say to England we are scared .

Not declaring after 550 lead is accepting this series cannot be won
 
150 from Gill, first man to score 150 and 250 in same test

Lol. England's shoulders are drooping after being out there for 235 overs and getting smacked at will but yeah it's India's mental weakness.
 
If Stokes has sense he should play for the draw. It will send the Indian media and camp into a frenzy as they tear into their tactics.

No matter how good you are you ain't score 570+ in 3 and a bit sessions. Don't even try it Stokesy. Play for the draw and blame Gill. The new captain will crumble under the pressure.
 
If England goes on the defensive with the bat, they will lose, we saw it too many times in the 2021 series where they were playing for a draw and game the Indian bowlers and captain the full license to come at them aggressively.

lol England should be 2 down in 2nd innings by now . Youre a perfect example of fear of losing from an Indian brain
 
I guess this decision of batting on isn't Gill's decision, it's Gambhir. It's him who calls all the shots in Indian cricket
 
Only two men in Test history have scored 150+ in both innings of a match.Allan Border against Pakistan in Lahore in 1980, and now Shubman GIll
 
Gill is gone, will they declare now? Or do they plan on playing till day 5 tmr?
 
DeadlyVenom said:
1-0 down in the series and scared to defend even 480 in 3 and a bit sessions is fear factor bro there is no harm in admitting it.

English pitches are terribly flat even on the last session of the fifth. It's being pragmatic , wearing England out of their minds and taking the loss out before looking for the win.

Admit it , you're just unhappy that a Bumrah-less India has managed to show England up in both bowling and batting
 
Strange approach from India

Are they expecting England to just collapse when they come out to bat? Lol

They were persisted because they were coming after the (so-called) T20 triumph, "veterans" so should be given another chance as their (so-called) "experience" is needed for the overseas tests! So they felt it was a one-off debacle... BGT ensured they are finished... But for true Indian Fans that 0-3 drubbing will haunt for a long time...

according to putridevus its enough runs
dummy doesnt realize how docile this track is
you can have mcgrath bumrah and rabada together and it sill wont make a difference.
 
How bad have English become that their pitches mimic roads?
Are they afraid of Indian swing bowlers?

On the contrary up until the last hour I've been well impressed with India and given them credit.

I feel they have let the game slip in the last hour for no reason.

Yes pitch is flat and but you have an opposition who plays gung ho cricket, back yourself.

Well done Shubman Gill

This is the second greatest batting effort ever in the history of test cricket in terms of runs scored
 
I expect England to survive 3 sessions.

India didn't have the courage to declare by Tea which would've given them a better chance. :inti
 
nitish
