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

[Human786]

Nice to know Ramiz Raja is ECB Chief Pitch curator.

Pathetic pitches for the first 2 Test ! Stokes is a duffer bowling 1st on this pitch !
508/6

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Some crazy guy scored 309 in Multan once

Is Multan next to Washington DC brother I asked for outside Asia.

 

[Bhaijaan]

14 year old freak talent Vaibhav Suryavanshi is in the building

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill on 230*

We don’t consider Pakistan part of Asian brotherhood after your betrayal to our Persian friends.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

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

I saw on X a Steve Smith quote that Gill is his idol and and he is watching this innings to model his own batting strategy for the upcoming match.

Do you think it could be real? Journalist who delivered this scoop was from Uttar Pradesh.

 

[U$ofA]

Sundar showing some very good technique for a number 8.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

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.

Lol you have a habit for cheering for the opposition instead. Best luck pal

 

[Bhaijaan]

The partnership is worth 95*

But you know 1 wicket here will bring a collapse

 

[RexRex]

Extreme pace of Venkatesh Prasad

 

[Devadwal]

Sundar showing some very good technique for a number 8.

Sundar has better techniques than Fraud Head and Kontas

 

[DeadlyVenom]

SRT 241* against Australia at Sydney

Hope he breaks this record

 

[Hellion]

Washington Sundar vs Abdullah Shafique would be a great batting comparison thread.

I think Sundar has better technique than the duck master but would be nice to hear PP opinions.

His only role model should be aussie.

Please feel free to make the thread so we can debate this topic in a deserved manner.

 

[Bhaijaan]

England doing some banter with Gill. Trying to break his temperament. They don’t know Gill only thinks about Sara and nothing else

 

[RexRex]

Gill is on a mission.

It's time someone broke Lara's record of 400.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Atherton had to mention about England winning by an inning recently after Pakistan scoring 556

 

[mominsaigol]

Predictions when england comes out to bat.

Duckett 200 and above
Crawley 70-80
Pope 70-80
Root: 100+
Brooks: 150+

I think i heard one of the English players joke to him about that

 

[RexRex]

Is that official yet ?

 

[RamLakhan]

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

Such a big mistake done by Kohli towards the end of his career by blocking No.4 (the most crucial batting position in tests) for way too long. If he wanted to be like Sachin he should have learnt to cope with his weaknesses (backfoot game, edging to slips) like Sachin kept updating himself... But his ego was too big, he had to wait till he got sick of himself! If he had moved to No.5 at proper time, we would have got rid of Rahane soon and then we would have groomed someone soon at No.3 also (in place of Pujara. Nair or someone...) Gill was forced to open in tests (I always wondered if he was suitable as an opener).

If Kohli had moved to No.5, probably he would be still playing in tests...

[Ahmed216]

England used to be my favourite country for watching test cricket.
But now they are preparing these dead pitches.

 

[Energy]

The pitch is a belter. Was Stokes drunk during the toss yesterday?

 

[mominsaigol]

England used to be my favourite country for watching test cricket.

Feels like im watching test cricket in Pakistan pre aqib era

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Rob Key has made urgent phone call to Aqib Javed and Aleem Dar to come to England immediately and bring some industrial fans with them.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bazball is bad for cricket if we are going to see more of these kind of pitches

 

[RexRex]

England used to be my favourite country for watching test cricket.

Yes, it's pathetic tbh. Bazball pitches suck.

 

[Ahmed216]

I think Gill should be likened to Rohit not Kohli.
Both ultimate FTB's.

 

[Vikram1989]

England doing some banter with Gill. Trying to break his temperament. They don’t know Gill only thinks about Sara and nothing else

Both gave adios bhai.both have split and unfollowed each other on social media.

 

[mominsaigol]

Like I said from the beginning. Konstas is a prodigy. He was just nervous first innings.

 

[Human786]

41 overs left for the day - IND must bowl 20 today !
526/6

 

[mominsaigol]

So what's the plan for loser indian batting team? To play for draws?

Loser mentality, this happened ever since jaiswal entered the team.

 

[Vikram1989]

Rob Key has made urgent phone call to Aqib Javed and Aleem Dar to come to England immediately and bring some industrial fans with them.

England is the mother of industrial revolution bhai .they need ideas as u said, not equipment

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill gets to 250*

 

[OldWarHorse]

Shubhman's at the wheel. Keep this going lad, need a hundred for Sundar too

 

[mominsaigol]

If Shubman Gill gets 300, he is forever off my hit list.

Good 250. Ik its flat but even if must respect the innings.

Too bad the skinny legs butter fingers clown is useless

 

[Rajdeep]

Darr ka mahol for @The Bald Eagle @sweep_shot @KingKhanWC

Adam Gilchrist is now just Adam.

There is only room for one Gilly in Cricket.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill on 259*

This is now in the realm of historic knocks. Flat pitch yes but score wise a gigantic effort this

 

[Devadwal]

Look at FTB root celebration like he got the wicket of king

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Darr ka mahol for @The Bald Eagle @sweep_shot @KingKhanWC

lol scared are those who first make big claims and then tag you and ask for mercy if their team lose....I don't do that but everyone knows who had done that after 1st Test

 

[kron]

Idc who you call, no one will save indians from my wrath

Why? What happened?
Actually don’t worry.


But what I will say is this. Pitch is ultra flat.

So bazzball will work here. Need to tire them out. Batting aggressive is important but also batting for time to wear them out.

England usually score better in second innings. So India need to set atleast 450 to chase in the second innings with 70 to 80 overs to get. Otherwise they are toast given its ultra flat pitches and short boundaries

Gill did well but again it is a very flat pitch.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Root produces a peach to dismiss Washy Washy.

Gill on 260*

 

[RexRex]

Can Akashdeep bat ?

 

[OldWarHorse]

Sundar would probably be less displeased seeing how that ball spun. Anyways decent knock

 

[kron]

Like I said from the beginning. Konstas is a prodigy. He was just nervous first innings.

Konstas is greek
He will be found out soon.
He is a nothing player
Nothing special

And root gets a wicket

 

[kron]

Can Akashdeep bat ?

He smashed Cummins around for a bit. He can
Better than bumrah

 

[kron]

lol scared are those who first make big claims and then tag you and ask for mercy if their team lose....I don't do that but everyone knows who had done that after 1st Test

India dropped 7 catches in first test
When you drop that many you deserve to lose
Hopefully we catch better this time.

Lol, im just messing around. Brother @Nikhil_cric called me the successor to Van Goh so I adopted the mantra.

I'm not gonna hurt anyone . I'm harmless dw.

 

[mominsaigol]

Never, Konstas is the greatest young batter in the world

 

[Vikram1989]

Konstas with out any feet movement is looking like a clown. commies are roasting him for poor technique. He cant survive on a tough pitch or against tough opponents.

 

[kron]

Not a fan of this crap pitch tbh

It makes flat track bullies look better than they are but yea.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Gill should go for Lara's 400 record. That's the only way to give a slap to Bazzball

 

[mominsaigol]

Won't happen. India wants to qualify for wtc. As much I dislike them, you have to give them credit on the fact that they eye trophies.

 

[Rajdeep]

How does people rate Sohaib Bashir here?

 

[Justcrazy]

India would be targeting 600 minimum here .

 

[Justcrazy]

How does people rate Sohaib Bashir here?

Not International level bowler.

 

[Bhaijaan]

How does people rate Sohaib Bashir here?

A vegetarian

 

[globetrotter]

India should declare tbeir inning asap

 

[RidiculousMan]

How does people rate Sohaib Bashir here?

I don't rate him much. Though I think if ECB continue to play him. In 10 years time he will have 400+ wickets and will become something.

England really are dire in spin department.

 

[Justcrazy]

India will be looking to bowl at least 15 overs at Poms tonight.

 

[Justcrazy]

India should declare tbeir inning asap

Gill will be looking for his triple hundred here.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

India should declare tbeir inning asap

No need to declare yet...Gill should go for his milestone at rapid pace otherwise England will feel a respite

 

[RidiculousMan]

How does people rate Sohaib Bashir here?

Root is averaging 20 in this innings. Bashir is averaging 152.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Konstas

 

[Rajdeep]

lol scared are those who first make big claims and then tag you and ask for mercy if their team lose....I don't do that but everyone knows who had done that after 1st Test

You look genuinely hurt bro. Angrezo ne dhoka de diya

 

[Vikram1989]

Konstas

After a million edges and misses

 

[The Bald Eagle]

You look genuinely hurt bro. Angrezo ne dhoka de diya

Hahah...yes like my neck was on the guillotine

 

[Bhaijaan]

Akashdeep needs to hang around for a bit. Gill is calm for as long as he’s there.

Can’t trust Mohammad and Krishna coming in at 10 & 11 respectively

 

[Devadwal]

Darr ka mahol for @The Bald Eagle @sweep_shot @KingKhanWC

They ( Wannabe, Nagin dance supporter ) hoping that india will bundled around 300 when we lost 5th wicket on 211.

This is humiliation for these posters .

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill on 269*

 

[Justcrazy]

Gill 31 away from triple hundred.

 

[Katwalindian]

Feels like im watching test cricket in Pakistan pre aqib era

Even pre aqib rawalpindi was mostly belter, rest was still better than this....

 

[Mamoon]

Legendary knock by Gill. He is thriving under the responsibility of leadership.

Hopefully India win here. England deserve to lose for their arrogance. They should not have opted to bowl first here.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Oh no. Had the triple hundred for the taking.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill on 269*

Gone

Soft dismissal

Damn bro , the triple was there for the taking

Anyway, great great effort
