*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[Kenneth Viljoen]

The 190 run deficit conceded by England in the first innings is the 4th highest deficit conceded by a team batting first that managed to still win.

I hope there's an award for Kitchen of the Match.

Better award than a couple of them awards.

2 Lakh for you sir. Please reach out to the BCCI for the award.

Where have you been ffs?

Piking out until it was confirmed

Who is Tom Hartley and how was he so much better than Leach who was supposed to be England's main spinner?

 

[mackembhoy]

Wild to imagine how much we'd have won by if Bashir had been available.

After that game that feels like a month ago.

 

[thierry henry]

India tried to play their usual anti-cricket, forgetting that England entirely retired from playing cricket 2 years ago.

 

[sledger]

It beggars belief why we threw Hartley in at the deep end.

Yeah I know right

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

So is it fair to say that after this performance our woes trying to find numbers 1-3 batsmen are over, as is our lack of half decent spinners?

 

[GIMH]

Cumball >>>>> Bazball

Awkward

 

[Xix2565]

Nobody here said a decapitated head would be tasty.

Nagging on Siraj like this is poor form really. Like genuinely, he was alright. Didn't get much bowling to do well and took chances now to try more than some other players.

 

[Daemon]

NZ and Eng have proven that spinners are essentially worthless. Just get someone who can half decently chuck it down and you’re golden.

Leach is injured

A very Dambulla 2015 result as a keeper turned bat and SLA torment us after a huge first innings lead. Hopefully rest of the series goes that way too.

I wont waste time playing Shreyas or Gill anymore in any of the 3 formats at the moment. Both need to back to the grind, take some ****ing responsibility, figure out a batting style that works for them, work on their fitness and fielding and commit to the team cause.

I would rather play the side I suggested earlier for the next test. But, I am pretty sure our management is gonna hide behind the "it was a 30 run loss, it was a close game" when we ****ing led by 200 runs after the first innings.

You shouldn't really post this. Balding is a very serious disease

Who on earth is talking about his bowling?
What he did at the end there was completely idiotic and he's got no excuse in the world for it.

With 4 bowlers? Suicidal tbh.
