*Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

Stokes is a good pitch-it-up bowler and an average bang-it-in bowler. Wish he would realise that. Not to mention his current batting approach.

Also, more overthrows ffs.

 

[Teja.]

Batting is looking very hard all of a sudden.

 

[BazBall21]

NZ complained about the ball quite a lot too tbh. I get that moaning about the ball not bobbling about is the most English thing ever.

Not England's fault for changing the ball, blame those that make them. They have equipment to check if the ball is a dud and this proves the ball should be changed. Are they meant to just bowl with one out of shape?

Not England’s fault obviously but it’s annoying and feels cheaty. NZ are very good at it. Wish there was a better way to pick the replacement ball as well instead of a dumb eyeball test.

 

[OverratedSanity]

All sorts happening after the ball change

 

[BazBall21]

Worth a review that I reckon

 

[BazBall21]

Ffs

I legitimately think they should just have to bowl with the out of the shape one.

This is going well.. India lack ideas and will struggled to treble their total. 300 runs ahead isn't enough. Stokes wont make the same mistakes again

Wasn't "he hit the ball out of shape" a thing for openers like Sehwag and Hayden?

 

[Tom Flint]

How is it cheating. The umpire puts it through the rings and if it fails the test it get changed. Pretty simple really

 

[chris.hinton]

We will get Pant out cheaply.

Yeah

Aye same rules for everyone

 

[BazBall21]

Stokes gets serious swing sometimes

And I think umpires call on lbw should be out

 

[chris.hinton]

No back the umpire on the field

 

[Prince EWS]

And I think umpires call on lbw should be out

But only if the ball is out of shape.

 

[GIMH]

Can whinge about the rules and whatever but ultimately if we can get the ball changed then we should. It’d be irresponsible not to
