India v England | 3rd Test | Mohali | Nov 26-30, 2016 | Day 2

[Sanzcool]

Shami with a peach, Rashid gone first ball

 

[street cricketer]

Impeccable seam position from Shami..

 

[Justcrazy]

Anderson gets some runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

India will be happy to keep poms below 300 here.

 

[street cricketer]

Anderson will have a point to prove after his king pair.

 

[Justcrazy]

England will have to bowl really well , the pitch is not that bad.

 

[Sanzcool]

Shami finishes it off, 283 all out

 

[JaDed]

India would be happy with 283

 

[Justcrazy]

England 283 all out

 

[Abdullah]

england need to rip the game open here n reduce india to 40-3.
new cherry will nibble around for 40 minutes

 

[Buffet]

Makeshift opener here so Eng can make inroads and have a good game.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Will Stokes be banned from playing the Fourth Test, he already abused a lot of players around the globe

 

[JaDed]

What was Murali Vijay doing?

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need early wickets to create any pressure.

 

[Justcrazy]

patel showing he can be dangerous.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Patel is the next De Kock

 

[Aman]

That was pathetic by England.

 

[JaDed]

Sunny Gavaskar telling an interesting story of Krish,reminds of me of a time on "The Hindu" newspaper growing up reading his articles.

 

[street cricketer]

What was Murali Vijay doing?

Was funny lol but stupid as well..

 

[Sin Nombre]

That was pathetic by England.

Fully expect Kohli to respond in kind and more. Typical behaviour in series between these teams and Aus.

 

[JaDed]

Was funny lol but stupid as well..

Gavaskar made a good point that incase he had moved and then ball hit him it could be obstruction of fielding.

 

[Buffet]

There was no obstruction at all so not sure what they were appealing here.

 

[Aman]

There was no obstruction at all so not sure what they were appealing here.

Desperation.

England know they put up a sub par total.

 

[JaDed]

Anderson dived for it,hmm how often does a top bowler do that?

 

[Justcrazy]

Patel playing Test after long time here.

 

[street cricketer]

Lol Dharma fluffing even the 3rd umpire job)

 

[Sanzcool]

Dharmasena ROFL Stay with original decision for a review when it should be reversed

 

[JaDed]

Lol Dharma fluffing even the 3rd umpire job)

Poor guy seems to be nervous or under pressure.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Dharmasena and Dar can't even seem to do 3rd umpire's job correctly.

 

[Justcrazy]

Solid enough start by India.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

No edge but give him out

 

[JaDed]

Moeen brought in early.

 

[Justcrazy]

patel has special talent in finding boundaries

 

[JaDed]

The ball went above Parthiv Patel

 

[Stark]

5.3
Woakes to Patel, no run, Into the hip, and he has been given out caught down the leg side. Patel reviews it immediately. And Patel has reviewed correctly. The ball has missed the bat as he looks to flick, and it has gone off the shirt.

What comedy from Dharmasena as the TV umpire. He says, "No edge Marais, you can stay with your on-field decision."

Marais Erasmus, thankfully, doesn't listen to him and does the right thing by changing his original decision of out

[street cricketer]

Mohali is literally the worst venue for test cricket in India as far as crowd attendance is concerned.

 

[jeetu]

England 283
India 28/0 (9.4 ov)
India trail by 255 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Murali Vijay (rhb) 7 (23)
Parthiv Patel (lhb) 20 (36)

 

[Justcrazy]

patel has already got 20 of 28 India has scored.

 

[JaDed]

Mohali is literally the worst venue for test cricket in India as far as crowd attendance is concerned.

True but love the outfield.

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Mohali is literally the worst venue for test cricket in India as far as crowd attendance is concerned.

Shame. Mohali is having clear sunny weather, pleasant 22c, 45% humidity, gentle breeze. Its also a pollution free city. These are best cricket playing conditions in India.

 

[Justcrazy]

parthiv picking the variations of spinners here easily.

The stadium is top notch, the outfield is pristine, the wickets are fantastic, even the floodlights and the long room are iconic.

But I've never seen a good crowd for test cricket at Mohali ever. Maybe they like the shorter formats more. In all fairness though, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai are probably the only venues which regularly get good crowd for test cricket. Even Kolkata's turnout was disappointing in the last series against NZ.

 

[Justcrazy]

Anderson should have been given few more overs

 

[JaDed]

Ravi loves provoking English commentators.

Ravi loves provoking English commentators.

What did he say..

 

[Justcrazy]

Stokes on now

 

[JaDed]

What did he say..

Talking about incident yesterday and how Stokes would be fired up and then how England has to hold on catches referring to Butler's tough one ,and vijay

 

[Sanzcool]

India have released injured Hardik Pandya from the squad. Also, KL Rahul is expected to be fit for the Mumbai Test

 

[Justcrazy]

Vijay goes

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India would be happy with 283

Mate i think they already have too many on the board. Remember we are batting last here. Our dropped catches are going to haunt us big time.

 

[Buffet]

Get 2 more before lunch

 

[jeetu]

England 283
India 39/1 (14.4 ov)
Parthiv Patel (lhb) 26*

 

[street cricketer]

Vijay is such an inconsistent batsman.

He need to be made to work for his place.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Nothing shot by Vijay but why walk?

 

[JaDed]

Mate i think they already have too many on the board. Remember we are batting last here. Our dropped catches are going to haunt us big time.

Bairstow's catch might prove costly but I'm still hoping our batsmen apply themselves.

 

[street cricketer]

Nothing shot by Vijay but why walk?

Coz DRS is there..

 

[Buffet]

Vijay may have escaped it if he had not walked. Eng had lost one review and 80 overs was far away.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Coz DRS is there..

There was no guarantee England would review.

 

[Buffet]

Coz DRS is there..

Eng lost one review and 80 overs was far away so Eng may not have gone for review.

Can't judge kolkata based on a match against Enzed. They'd probably have the best turnout amongst all cities if the opposition were england/OZ/Pakistan.

 

[Slog]

Why is Parthia Patel opening

Not a fan of keepers opening in tests

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Mohali is literally the worst venue for test cricket in India as far as crowd attendance is concerned.

Nagpur and Ahmedabad say HI

 

[JaDed]

Manjrekar just doesn't stop!

 

[Justcrazy]

Patel finding gaps easily

 

[Justcrazy]

Why is Parthia Patel opening

Not a fan of keepers opening in tests

He is capable of opening.

 

[Stark]

Parthiv doing a pretty neat job out there. Good to see that.

Why the dislike?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Parthiv doing a pretty neat job out there. Good to see that.




Why the dislike?

Wicket keeping is a very difficult job. You have to keep for an entire innings and then you're out to open the innings which is very strenuous.

 

[Stark]

Pretty decent session for India. Hoping for long batting sessions till next day at the least, & then press for a win.

Wicket keeping is a very difficult job. You have to keep for an entire innings and then you're out to open the innings which is very strenuous.

It is upto the person's stamina and drive to do the job. If he is comfortable, trained and accustomed to it, hardly any issue.

 

[HitWicket]

Eng lost one review and 80 overs was far away so Eng may not have gone for review.

England haven't lost a review yet and it was a very confident appeal.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

India on top here, India will probably score 500+ on this pitch

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Eng lost one review and 80 overs was far away so Eng may not have gone for review.

No England didn't lose any review, what you talking about brah? Patel reviewed when he was given out. :dar

 

[Buffet]

England haven't lost a review yet and it was a very confident appeal.

My bad. First one was given by umpire.

 

[Buffet]

No England didn't lose any review, what you talking about brah? Patel reviewed when he was given out. :dar

Bad from me.

 

[jeetu]

India 60/1 (22.0 ov)
India trail by 223 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Parthiv Patel (lhb) 37 (73)
Cheteshwar Pujara (rhb) 8 (22)



Umpire reviews remaining India 2 (1 successful, 0 unsuccessful); England 2 (0 successful, 0 unsuccessful)

 

[Buffet]

India on top here, India will probably score 500+ on this pitch

Now days, India hardly scores 500+. Most Indian batsmen don't make those daddy hundreds even at home which was common in previous generation. Eng just doesn't have the good spin unit to put pressure otherwise Indian batting is not that great.

 

[RamLakhan]

Wicket keeping is a very difficult job. You have to keep for an entire innings and then you're out to open the innings which is very strenuous.

That is the only way to extract good stuff out of Parthiv Patel! Already our openers are unsettled (both Vijay the seasoned guy and Rahul the emerging guy are finding it difficult to show the authority), so India and Parthiv both are not going to lose anything with this. Parthiv is anyhow not our long term option. It doesn't mind there is wear and tear in using him (and it is not so that if he does both opening & keeping its going to tire him! Probably it may only extract better out of him!) as long as it serves India's purpose of strengthening their batting lineup/middle order and the balance of playing extra bowler.

But I know this will not work overseas (And that will be a problem until India finds proper settled openers)

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Now days, India hardly scores 500+. Most Indian batsmen don't make those daddy hundreds even at home which was common in previous generation. Eng just doesn't have the good spin unit to put pressure otherwise Indian batting is not that great.

Yes, brother Buffet you are right

Pujara is on a streak, 1st Test, 1st Innings 124, 2nd Test, 1st Innings 119, 3rd Test 1st Innings 8* (Another century coming up folks )

 

[RamLakhan]

Thankfully the spinners (pitches?) have improved from the previous generation and also the seamers are doing their job (and captaincy which is another crucial part) Hence big scores from batsmen are not needed. (But at some point of time we know this will affect us! Let's hope by then our batsmen will get to their terms!)

 

[Buffet]

Yes, brother Buffet you are right

Pujara is on a streak, 1st Test, 1st Innings 124, 2nd Test, 1st Innings 119, 3rd Test 1st Innings 8* (Another century coming up folks )

He has been hitting tons, but even he is not making it a big one after getting a ton. I always thought that he likes to make it big one.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Patel looks a quality batsman. But would you sacrifice Saha's keeping to strengthen the lower order? Tough call.
