1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[Johan]

Gower averaged almost 45 and scored 8000 Test runs - essentially the same stats as VVS Laxman. I don't think he would make this list.

Hm, How about Aidan Markram?

 

[chris.hinton]

Haven't really looked like getting another wicket

I say this and it will happen wont it

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Sudarshan looks the part. Might get out now that I've said it but he looks very organized and fluid in his defense.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Indian selectors have refused to treat Shardul as the fluke he was always bound to be. Should've never banked on him as their go-to abroad. Though I will say he's not been allowed to grow into his career either.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Dropett to the fore. Chill out, SSD.

 

[Daemon]

Rahul’s played so many pretty drives this game

 

[Johan]

@capt_Luffy still a part timer?

 

[capt_Luffy]

David Gower but worse

It's like saying Zak Crawley is Viv Richards but worse

FFS! Part timer strikes again.

No tbf he is currently England's best bowler

 

[Daemon]

Good trap and excellent execution by Stokes. He’s getting it to go properly unlike the others.

That also applies to Carse and Woakes and Tongue.

 

[kevinw]

If Stokes couldn't bowl would he average 40 in Test cricket? Maybe. If he couldn't bat would he average under 30 with the ball? For sure.

That's not the accomplishment you seem to imply it is.

What would be a good lead for India to target?

400

Above 300 can be defended - they will start breathing easier around 350.

Long way to go. Likely we'll fade away and set no more than 250.

Betting sites think India will score around 335 at the moment with India now being slight overall favorites.

 

[ashley bach]

Vitally important period this last hour before stumps

Same betting sites have Man City as CL winners every year
