Looks like India will make 600

Absolute coward

Good move to bowl first. They'll chase anything we set.

Sucks to be Kuldeep. He's getting the Ashwin treatment now.

Maybe not mate

 

[Molehill]

Precious little evidence this was a bowl first pitch so far....

Come on mate. I make the lame jokes around here. It will be 250 and india will think they have done ok

Yep didn't agree with it.

Gonna be a long day.

Your technique, shot selection and the ability to fumble on English pitches will be clear for the cricketing world to see test after test.

You mean this has not been clear from our last 5 tours here?

There's less of a chance of India scoring 600 than there is the Mods stopping this blatant Gambhiring by English fans

What is Gambhiring?

 

[RightArmMystery]

Rarely nips around from ball one as Nas has just said on comms. Always takes a few overs for some of the lacquer to come off and then it'll start to move late. Hardest period for these two will be from now to over 15 or so, get through that and it's gonna be a long day

If I post the exact same on a forum with exclusively English fans is it still Gambhiring?

Softcock!!......5 in the shed by lunch

All English fielders having showers?

Fair I'm just a negative sort of person.

Rarely want us to field first!

 

[honestbharani]

Summer is going to be vile watching England and Australia with the same front of shirt sponsor.

who is that sponsor?

Giving up already?

 

[cnerd123]

What is Gambhiring?

Deliberately underselling your teams position in a game.

 

[Johan]

Giving up already?

like your dad did when going to get the milk?

 

[chris.hinton]

I love the wit on this forum

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This looks a stupid decision already. One Nasser would be proud of.
