1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[danzydab]

Jamie Smith throwing away his wickets is painful to watch, he threw away a 100 for sure.
Its frustrating to see him recklessly get out when he has so much potential as a batsman.

Without Bumrah India are at the level of Afghanistan in tests

AFG or BAN or dare i say it, minnows like ZIM, NED or even USA(chuckle)

(the minnows dont play tests, so ive shown the ODI rankings here)

PAK, WI atleast have one good pacer and some good spinners.

I pity Indias FC system, the climate and the pitches absolutely do not suit development of fast bowlers. They need to rethink the entire apparatus , the pitches, the BCCI, if they are ever to produce some decent Quicks.

 

[Johan]

India without Bumrah can beat anyone in the world consistently at home, USA can't.

Eh?

 

[halba]

India without Bumrah can beat anyone in the world consistently at home, USA can't.

They lost to #5 ranked NZ in every game recently.

 

[Johan]

Eh?

Yeah, I think India would crush England or South Africa at home for example even if Bumrah isn't bowling

 

[Johan]

They lost to NZ recently.

that's why I used the word consistently

that was really some freak stuff

 

[silentstriker]

As you can see, We not at OUR BEST yet India are playing to their full potenial

And we are favourites

Indian fans should be worried.....VERY WORRIED

India are not anywhere playing to their full potential.


You're right about being favorites though.

 

[Uppercut]

Is Carse actually arse or is that just a meme?

 

[danzydab]

India's seam attack is the main worry.
Bangladesh has an attack of Hasan Mehmud, Shoriful and Nahid Rana.
India has no upcoming young seamer

Yep, simply the pitches, conditions do not suit pacers in Ind. Pak is famous for producing express pacers for a long time(guys like Waqar, Akhar, Asif and so on) and Bang is trying to copy the Pak model(Bang is formerly east Pak)

 

[Johan]

Gone

Got him. yes,.

No matter how good he gets at cricket Carse will always be arse.

 

[Johan]

PEWS thinks he is arse but I think most think he is a good bowler, nothing amazing but good

 

[RightArmMystery]

Beauty from Carse, he's still shite, but that was a cracker of a ball. Perfect to get Sudharsan in early

 

[GIMH]

Is Carse actually arse or is that just a meme?

It’s a meme. His England performances across formats over the last year have been good.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Carse bowls wicket taking deliveries but he also has spells where he bowls utter pies. Been very expensive a good few times in the white ball stuff. Has an excellent Test record so far but I don't see it lasting a prolonged period, he's too inconsistent

 

[silentstriker]

Players should be docked 40 runs per drop. So Jaiswal's actual contribution to this Test match was scoring 21 and 4.

 

[SkyBlue]

Hope this is Sai's time. Make the most of this opportunity as his place is on the line given the competition behind him.
