1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[centurymaker]

Odds on an England win have shortened significantly to 1.60

Are you ****ing serious?

Guys, can someone tell me the score. My phone is tripping right now and I can’t access the CI website…not even google is loading properly

Thanks,

England is at 87 for none as I type this, making them need 284 more to win.

Siraj bowled decently but when the change bowlers are as hopeless as Prasidh and Thakur are, we really needed a breakthrough in the first spell this morning. This is going to slip away extremely quickly if Thakur can't meme a wicket with a crap ball somehow.

Yeah it's one of the more lopsided Test attacks I've seen. One GOAT contender, one Test standard 3rd seamer, one declining spinner and two spuds. Alas with Shami basically dead it's not likely to get better.

England massive favorites at this point. The odds just crashed for India after Bumrah’s spell

When the **** is Gill gonna bring in Jadeja in place of the clowns!!?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Thank you, dear friend

 

[mackembhoy]

England have been just as bad as asking for the ball to be changed.

Needs to be clamped down on. Make it like DRS you only can challenge the condition 2 times an innings or something.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

An out of shape ball should be able to cause more unpredictability in a delivery no?

 

[chris.hinton]

It’s just too easy

@Burgey England aren’t losing

There have been nearly 2,600 test matches ever played, and I'll round up to that number for the sake of the math, and there have been two tied tests, so... that makes it a 0.077% chance of a tie, perhaps? :P

Yes, I know but this gone into the last day and is between 2 competitive sides one of whom won't shut up shop, so the chances are perhaps greater.

I'm convinced Arshdeep, Akashdeep and Kuldeep would all have done a better job than Siraj, Krishna, Thakur and Jadeja

These hit the deck bowlers are no good in these conditions. This is not Australia. And Jadeja is a mediocre bowler outside India. Would sacrifice his batting and get a specialist spinner in next game

Jaiswal
Rahul
Sai
Gill
Pant
Nair
Reddy
Kuldeep
Akashdeep
Arshdeep
Bumrah

I wouldn't go with Arshdeep. Agree with the rest though.

100 up for the partnership. KMN

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The turning point of this match?

Gill deciding to take on Bashir and in the process getting caught at deep mid wicket.

If England were to win this.

India collapses in both innings been the key moments.

We should have been looking at 550+ first innings defecit.

India appear to have a slight problem on their hands here.

The collapses and the dropped catches as well
