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

[sweep_shot]

Jamie and Brook have neutralized overrated India.

Good to see.

Gambhir keeps selecting this paindu Krishna.

 

[Ball Blazer]

At 84/5, India needed to stay patient. With the ball doing plenty, sticking to traditional line-and-length bowling was the smarter choice. Instead, opting for short-pitched deliveries to Smith and Brook played right into England’s hands. A golden opportunity lost due to poor tactics.

 

[gazza619]

India and tea. This just brings memories

Who would you have picked?

[Justcrazy]

India still can put pressure on Poms here , they need to try and break this partnership and put pressure on new batsman with close catchers , If India can get a lead of around 190 - 200 runs , they can try and get 250 more runs quickly and hope Poms collapse.

 

[Rajdeep]

Should India follow on England or we bat again just incase?

 

[Justcrazy]

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.

Yes , for batsmen it's always one mistake and it is over. Concentrating for longer periods is also a challenge for modern day batters , who are playing 20 20 .

 

[Justcrazy]

Should India follow on England or we bat again just incase?

they will not follow on , because they would want to rest the bowlers.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Why are Jamie and Brook tuk tuking? Are they scared of Jadeja and Sundar on this flat deck? It does seem so lol

Waiting for the new ball, its pretty obvious to any cricket fan.

 

[RexRex]

Who would you have picked?

Arshdeep

 

[Devadwal]

Should India follow on England or we bat again just incase?

We are missing Kuldeep and arshdeep. Sundar , Nitish , Parsidh are useless player's

 

[RexRex]

India should have tried my tactic of an 8-1 field to slow down scoring.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sundar starts the proceedings after Tea

 

[Justcrazy]

We are missing Kuldeep and arshdeep. Sundar , Nitish , Parsidh are useless player's

I was also surprised at Kuldeep not playing

 

[Justcrazy]

Gill review is wasted ,

 

[Devadwal]

I was also surprised at Kuldeep not playing

So are the most of the people's. Kuldeep can takes wickets on any surface

 

[Justcrazy]

India are playing three batting all rounders in Sundar , jadeja and Reddy . One more specialist bowler was required. In Test its not effective to play batting all rounders

 

[Ab Fan]

Kuldeep won’t have done anything let’s accept it. This is a terrible pitch and such crucial test matches shouldn’t be played on this flat pitch.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I feel for Siraj. He always tries to give his best and is available for team at all times and formats. Unlike a certain someone.

Siraj sometimes also get good success. But he is still lashed at by fans.

Siraj is too much of a confidence bowler. The fans who look down on him, look down with good reason. He is not consistent enough and clearly failing to live up to the standards that Shami set.

The moment, Indians realize they can't even cancel his contract
====
Gave priority to the Country over IPL
- Accepted 2 year's ban from IPL to prepare for test

- Got out on 99 in the first match & missed a well-deserved century
- Responded in second match by scoring a century & keeping his team in the match
This is Harry Brook for you

 

[sweep_shot]

Indians on Day 3 Morning:

Indians after Day 3 Tea:

 

[Rajdeep]

9 more runs for follow on.

C'mmon India - 9/5 pls

 

[sweep_shot]

ENG - 379/5 (80.5 overs).

Trailing by 208 runs.

My respect for Harry Brook just went tenfold.

Anyone who rejects IPL deserves utmost respect. He is a man of principle.

 

[oatmeal]

Akashdeep is bowling as many no balls as Amir

true, respect for that.
many players can learn from him!

 

[sweep_shot]

C'mmon India - 9/5 pls

Do you think they would enforce follow-on even if they could? This is not a video game.

Bowlers need rests. Teams no longer enforce follow-ons generally.

 

[Justcrazy]

England trail by 204 runs now.

 

[Justcrazy]

300 runs partnership , good one for Poms.

 

[sweep_shot]

300-run partnership is up.

Well done.

 

[gazza619]

So i guess there is no follow on for England

 

[BDfanforever]

Both Test Cricket and ODIs are becoming dud of a format. There is absolutely no point wasting time watching matches where batsmen just piles on runs for fun. T20s is the future, and something like T30 could be ultimate format of the game.

@Bhaijaan @Nikhil_cric @The Bald Eagle

Hun das, Papa ka Jinx hoon na mei.

Want me to keep supporting India

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Brook gone , India break the partnership here

 

[oatmeal]

Brook gone. Now India need to clean up the tail quickly

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Well done Brooks, Bakra ki maa akhr phans gye

 

[sweep_shot]

Oops!

Brook is out.

ENG - 387/6.

 

[Devadwal]

Good knock

Lol the moment I made this comment Brooks fell oh god @Nikhil_cric and @Bhaijaan

Were right

 

[sweep_shot]

I think England have done enough to secure a draw at least.

 

[Justcrazy]

England need one more partnership here to be out of woods.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

We need @Rajdeep to support India now....as England in trouble now

 

[mominsaigol]

Now that Brooks is gone i feel its important for ATG goat india to outright dominate England and get a 150 lead

 

[sweep_shot]

Want to see a Jamie Smith triple century. He is on 170* now.

 

[Rajdeep]

Yesss....wicket

Indian fans come out....Pak posters will go hiding now

 

[Devadwal]

Next wickets is going to fall before 417.

 

[mominsaigol]

Yesss....wicket

Eh hem? Throughout this entire journey ive been commenting the most .

I never run away. Unless I have to go for squash training. Then duty calls ues

 

[Devadwal]

Next wickets is going to fall before 417.

Or Woakes going to score another 50

 

[Justcrazy]

England needs these two to shut the shop for today.

 

[Rajdeep]

I consider you as one of us bro....

By Pak fans...I meant certain individuals who are actually not Pakistanis but wanabe them

 

[sweep_shot]

This Test feels great since Bumrah is not playing.

Bumrah causes toxicity with his behavior and alleged chucking.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Prasidh Krishna has one job to do. That is to take wickets. If not that, at least bowl economically. But he goes at 6rpo and gets nothing from the pitch.
Also, he cannot bat to save his life or field properly. Not sure what Gambhir and Gill see in Prasidh. Total garbage bowler.

Arshdeep at least can exploit the new ball and get you wickets. He has good Yorkers and can bowl economically.

Arshdeep bowling right handed >>>>>>>>>>>> Prasidh

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Or Woakes going to score another 50

What a pearl of Wisdom

 

[sweep_shot]

ENG - 393/6.

Trailing by 194 runs.

 

[Rajdeep]

Akashdeep is from my state of Bihar...pure lion hearted

 

[mominsaigol]

I consider you as one of us bro....

Tbf, I am the only Pakistani fighting , you and I are the only ones of our representing groups that dont go into hiding and fight on.

The rest pop up during certain moments

 

[Champ_Pal]

This Test feels great since Bumrah is not playing.

Bumrah causes toxicity with his ghetto behavior and alleged chucking.

Agreed. Bumrah is a ghetto checker.

I wish India had a great bowler with awesome Turkish genes like Al Amin Hossien and Rubel the Italian Stallion Hussein.

India is lucky they are not playing the mighty Bangladesh.

 

[sweep_shot]

Trailing by 192 runs. 4 wickets in hand.

Can England take the lead?

No i dont think so.
Might get bowled out 480 -90 ish

 

[The Bald Eagle]

They fought really well, Kudos

 

[Justcrazy]

From india point of view rain will be concern , India will want full 180 overs to be played in last two days.

 

[sweep_shot]

No i dont think so.
Might get bowled out 480 -90 ish

I think they should because Woakes is a genuine all-rounder. Rest of the tail can also bat.

Let's see.

 

[Rajdeep]

150 lead will be handy for India

 

[Ali Active]

this test might get draw

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes. I don't want to "debate" with sanghis. It is a waste of time.

They are thick and brainwashed by BJP WhatsApp University.

I dont mind @Rajdeep

Everyone should be free tonsupport whatever team they wish. Its petty to hate someone for that.

I'm not aware of your experience but he has never cussed at me, gotten angry, or personally attacked me or anyone.

All of his posts are extremly respectful and unlike the others, he actually gives good arguments unless he is trolling but I don't mind funny trolling as it's never targeted at anyone.

I have alot of respect for posters like him, Nikhl, Hitman and many others on this forumn.

Infact I don't even hate the indian team, the reason I target them and attack them os cause the clown gang keeps attacking me and started this nonsense 2 years ago ever since I made that avg team thread cause their moronic egos couldnt handle it.

Besides unlike the others who I can tell are kids born in the year 2010 pretending to be 30 year old cringe loser adults, rajdeep is actually 30+ and you can tell from his mannerism.

He seems very educated too so probs from a well off family as well.

 

[Rajdeep]

Goneee.....another wicket for Akashdeep

 

[Devadwal]

Next wickets is going to fall before 417.

Thanks Woakes

 

[mominsaigol]

I think india will escape with a 150 lead

 

[Devadwal]

this test might get draw

All three result possible but Yea draw probability is very high

 

[sweep_shot]

I think india will escape with a 150 lead

Possible.

England need to see off the day and bat for a bit on Day 4 morning.

22 overs are remaining today.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Woakes is just a washed up player now, needs to bid farewell or show something

 

[sweep_shot]

Woakes is out.

ENG - 396/7.

Smith needs to protect the tail maybe.

 

[mominsaigol]

Possible.

England need to see off the day and bat for a bit on Day 4 morning.

22 overs are remaining today.

Remember my prediction, 5-0, 4-0, 3-0, 2-0, 1-0.

Doesn't matter India aint winning a single test. But I should support for jinx.

Can't see India winning any Test in this series. They may get a draw or two due to flat pitches/rain.

 

[jamie smith fan]

I think it is out.

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

396/8.

Jamie should protect the tail.

 

[Rajdeep]

This Bangladeshi umpire is so poor

I think they might win this one.
