*Official* 2nd Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 13 - 17 Feb 2021

[Robbie]

England should forfeit their second innings and just get out of here. Get it finished tonight.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Nah. We are going to bat out a draw.

Sibley to bat for two days and score 74 runs.

Makes sense. Just bat sensibly, absolutely no demons in the pitch, etc.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nah. We are going to bat out a draw.

Sibley to bat for two days and score 74 runs.

England managing to draw from here would almost be more impressive than a win.

 

[Senile Sentry]

The idiots who critizied the pitch should STFU.. you STFU!

Eh wtf

 

[Spikey]

you heard them, STFU

 

[Pothas]

England managing to draw from here would almost be more impressive than a win.

Would genuinely be the best thing that has ever happened in cricket.

 

[hazsa19]

That will go some way towards breaking the English bowling's ego a bit

Are you actually suggesting Ali, Leach and Bess have ego?

[karan_fromthestands]

Classic Shiraaazzzzzzzzzz!!!

 

[GIMH]

Absolutely pathetic that India haven't declared

 

[Shri]

wow that was a good ****

ASHWIN!!!

 

[Pothas]

Absolutely pathetic that India haven't declared

Do they even want to win?

Clearly need at least 4 new balls on this joke of a wicket.

 

[cnerd123]

Root could still chase this but I reckon we have enough to bowl out everyone else around him

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Well batted Ashwin.

Deserves to put his feet up now for the rest of the game, he's done his bit.

 

[Spikey]

well played Ashwin shame your teammates dont like u

 

[Shri]

the strike rate of 71 for that ton was the more amazing detail

laxman used to do this for us

don't think ash has any more test 100s in him but this was awesome

Unduly optimistic about Burns's return there, one feels...

 

[social]

England will be bowled out for less than 150

 

[wpdavid]

England will be bowled out for less than 150

A fair bit less, one would think. I'm with Robbie in hoping that Root does a Brian Rose. Failing that, we could easily lose five before close of play.

 

[Robbie]

615-20's a decent effort in the field. That would win a fair few test matches.

Just the batting let us down.
