*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

God, Nick Knight is insufferable with his “best use of resources” sh*t.

I prefer Knight to Graeme Swann but then I prefer both to KP.

 

[slowfinger]

i think nick knight is a class act, speaks well and is more imparial than not

He's alright, I like his anonymity when too many commentators try to inject their personality into their commentary like Dagnell.

Yeah compared to others I don't find Knight that offensive. But admittedly me coming from Australia probably dulls my senses to bad commentary.

Not sure JB will last long aiming everything at extra cover

 

[kevinw]

I'm sure they have a good opening average but to me at least it seems that one of ZC and BD generally gets a score most of the time. They don't often both fail. Not sure what your yardstick is - how often do neither make 20 in an innings?

 

[Silver Silva]

India not trust Kuldeep Yadav enough, I mean the bloke has 42 wickets in 10 Tests but is underused..

I don't mind him either, he isn't as good as Nasser or Athers but he is a hell of a lot better than KP.

Not sure on the stats but it feels like you don’t often see Root coming in at 10-2 whereas two years ago he might as well have opened.

Obviously today he came in at about 20-2 (or was it about 30)

Zimbabwe and Bangladesh – reflects the English opening pair's (lack of) quality tbh

 

[Silver Silva]

Crawley now England's highest run scorer in the series..
He was England's highest run scorer in the Ashes aswell

 

[Aidan11]

150 lead. If we get to 250 lead it will make it interesting.

Long live Zak Crawley

 

[slowfinger]

huge innings from Crawley this. from all my ire at him early in his career, I owe Baz an apology it looks like

By far the most consistent as well.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

if England can't get to 200 then the game will be over

Bat the day out we are strong favourites as we will be about 300 in front the way we score.

 

[slowfinger]

Bashir to do better or worse than the 1st innings?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Especially given Jadeja has been expensive all series by his standards.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Worse. Hartley wins it.

 

[subshakerz]

I love watching Kuldeep bowl, even when he is loose.
