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

[Bhaijaan]

Misfield for 4

Gill on 195*

 

[MP2011]

Considering how have we batted in this innings without any visual discomfort, I fear what Bazball will do our hapless bowlers.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill pinches another couple

[MP2011]

This is now highest score by any Asian test captain in a SENA country.

Scoreboard pressure can do strange things even on flattest pitches... Lets keep our hopes alive! With scoreboard pressure you can win even on Pakistani pitches (the flattest pitches in the entire universe)... Aim is to get close to 600 or many more (bat even till 4th day morning if possible... That is the only way to counter this bazball team, just annoy them & make them sick). We needed a peak Pujara & Dravid to test the hell of this England team (especially on such harmless pitches...)

Hope you are proved right.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Washy Washy hooks one for 6

What a shot lol

 

[MP2011]

Tongue given full treatment for bowling that negative leg stump line by Sundar

 

[Hellion]

Typical Pakistani effort at the boundary by Bashir

 

[Devadwal]

Washi six remind me of GABBA match where he smashed Cummins for a six .

Indian bowlers need to bowl wide outside offstump to prevent scoring. This was MS Dhoni's tactic in a 2008 test vs the Aussies, for which he got a lot of criticism. But it worked !

 

[mominsaigol]

I’m now worried about your prophecy. England might smash 800 here

Everyone should be.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Boy Washy can bat

Washy Washy also keeping the strike making Gill wait for the double

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lets go Shabby

Shebby looking more and more like a British Pakistani quota pick in this side.

Not ready for this level perhaps.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Sundar looks alright. Should get his own big score

 

[RamLakhan]

Yes they can do this also... In batting just score patiently and with ball bowl this negative line! I think in this match both the Indian Spinners should start bowling negative lines directly (Jadeja over the wicked and Sundar around the wicket)... Just disturb their bazball rhythm...

How India employed an 8-1 field vs Aus to stunt scoring.

Australia choked by 8-1 field

India's plan was extremely defensive, but not negative. By persisting with the wide line, they were relying on a lapse in concentration from the batsmen for a wicket

[Bhaijaan]

Well played Gill

Gill gets 200*

 

[MP2011]

Well batted Gill.

 

[Devadwal]

Double century of Prince . What an superlative knock by captain.

Should especially be done against slightly shorter English batters. Make them reach for every ball and then bowl the odd one at the stumps to catch them off guard.

 

[mominsaigol]

Beware, I am still watching. Be scared

 

[Bhaijaan]

300+ runs already for Gill in this series

Still minimum 7 more running’s to go

 

[Hellion]

Boy Washy can bat

Washy Washy also keeping the strike making Gill wait for the double

Keeping Gill off strike will help Gill recover.

 

[Devadwal]

Early predictions for day 2, day 3 and day 4

1) India get bundled out for 400.
2) Gill and Jadeja score 140-150 and 60-70
3) India tail gets exposed again
4) england lead the charge posting 700
5) Brooks, Root and Duckett all score super centuries with a gritty 50 from Jamie smith.
6) India will be 4 down end of day 4.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Impressive

 

[batandballbattle]

played gill, no captaincy pressure at all

 

[RexRex]

Impressive

Learn how to post an image. Can't see anything.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill on 209* already

They’re coming fast now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Is a triple hundred too much to ask?

 

[Vikram1989]

Washi should score atleast 70 and break the bowlers .India should target atleast 550

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Shebby looking more and more like a British Pakistani quota pick in this side.

Not ready for this level perhaps.

Oh Bhai I was saying it for Shubman as he approached 200!

 

[mominsaigol]

Everyone acting delusional due to Mr feet dont move scoring a double hundred.

Fodder player. England is scoring 800 on this pitch

 

[Human786]

49 overs left for the day - 484/6 . Declare at 550 ?
Why is Sundar wearing a full sleeve sweater in this weather ?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill on 214*

 

[OldWarHorse]

Brook looks like he won a contest to be there

 

[Bhaijaan]

Indian fans must remember one wicket now and they’re all out by 500 which England will make within a day.

Then they have to play 150 overs to make 400 which England will chase in 2.5 session

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill on 218*

It’s too easy against Brook

 

[Bhaijaan]

3 boundaries in the over

Gill on 222*

 

[OldWarHorse]

Look at those drives from Gill. Brooks wishes he were as good

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Gill has shown that he belongs in the mix with players like Abdullah Shafique and Harry Brook.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Non Indian captain has ever scored more than 1 double hundred in tests

Virat Kohli has 7

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill has shown that he belongs in the mix with players like Abdullah Shafique and Harry Brook.

And Shanto

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Score a triple here Gilly Bhai fill your boots.

Compared to chennai, Edgbaston will feel like Swiss for him .

 

[RamLakhan]

The approach by Indians in this match is different... (The way they selected their batting lineup)... I think they have some plan with bowling also (defensive line/length).

 

[mominsaigol]

Like I have stated from the beginning, England is scoring 800+. My predictions never fail.

It is not possible for me to ever be wrong.

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is England’s version of a flat Karachi pitch

 

[The Bald Eagle]

No More Off Topic Stuff

 

[DeadlyVenom]

And Shanto

I think Shanto has the most test centuries from them lol

 

[Bhaijaan]

Score a triple here Gilly Bhai fill your boots.

Let’s see if he has the temperament and fitness for a triple.

It’s very much on if the tail supports

 

[mominsaigol]

I just cant wait to unleash my dragon once england arrives. Getting sick of the clown gang.

They ganged up on me in the 1st test and I chased them away. They never learn their lesson.

 

[Bhaijaan]

I think Shanto has the most test centuries from them lol

Yup the Fab 4 isn’t complete without The Shanto

 

[Markhor]

Nice to know Ramiz Raja is ECB Chief Pitch curator.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Gill has shown that he belongs in the mix with players like Abdullah Shafique and Harry Brook.

On par with Abdullah Shafique maybe. But definitely inferior to classy back foot player Shan Masood.

I pray Shan plays and captains PAK for another 5 years at least to do justice to his unreal talent.

Shan is not so good a test player but could be a good captain.

He is more like Kohli than Shubman Gill.

Gill is a strong player but so far doesn't look like a natural skipper like Kohli, Shan, Ricky Ponting.

 

[Markhor]

Extreme pace of Venkatesh Prasad

Shan would score heavily on these pitches in all honesty. This is a great crime by England lol

Virat toiled for decade plus on seaming conditions against Anderson and Broad

 

[Devadwal]

Score a triple here Gilly Bhai fill your boots.

Gill can become 50+ AVG player in next 2 year . seem like number 4 position is best suitable for him.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Extreme pace of Venkatesh Prasad

England missing Freddie Flintoff magic on lifeless surfaces

 

[The Bald Eagle]

England just paying the price of persisting with this awful bowling line up.

 

[Devadwal]

Keep grinding because gap between 2nd and 3rd test is just for 3 day's.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What's the highest score for an Indian outside Asia?

Gilly must be getting close.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill on 229*

Approaching the famous figure of 236 which was India’s highest individual test score for a long time before a Very Very Special decided to defeat follow on against Aussies

 

[Hellion]

Ah. Venkatesh Prasad's destruction of Pakistan on flat surfaces at Chennai and later at the World Cup.

What memories, man.

Watching PAK vs SA in a Test match sometime back and it was like watching 4 Venkatesh Prasad's bowling in tandem.

Thank you for the nostalgia triggers, Pakistan.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What's the highest score for an Indian outside Asia?

Gilly must be getting close.

Some crazy guy scored 309 in Multan once

 

[mominsaigol]

I am no longer interested in Indian batting. I feel like Australia vs WI will offer a more balanced approach to test cricket.

When england comes onto bat the sad reality will be exposed with Indians running away chasing as usual.

Konstas and Steve Smith will score proper centuries not the rubbish we see on this phatta today

 

[Devadwal]

What's the highest score for an Indian outside Asia?

Gilly must be getting close.

SRT 241* against Australia at Sydney

 

[Rajdeep]

Commisserations bro. However India is winning this series.

After the success of OP Sindoor last month, Indian cricket team has launched Operation Lagaan on England.

Multan is in Asia.
