@Johan Century from Root?

possible now for sure, it's 13-2, we are back in 2021

 

[slowfinger]

really brainless batting first up from Pope. i know you're twitchy to get off the mark but trying to force a new ball off your pads is just unnecessary

No chance India enforce follow on, in any situation.

Great catch from Gill and another one, Deeo is on on hat trick.

Dude your stream is slow af

 

[King Kane]

Dude your stream is slow af

Yeah I know, I was watching the Australia v Windies stream live at the same time and this one somehow ended up being behind, I am back live now.

 

[slowfinger]

crawley's patted a good 2 overs worth of deliveries back to the bowler now

 

[SkyBlue]

Damn now we talking

 

[Johan]

@capt_Luffy congratulations, guess the bet is still alive

 

[Daemon]

Siraj has been so much better after his disastrous first spell of the tour

 

[King Kane]

crawley's patted a good 2 overs worth of deliveries back to the bowler now

Now he's nicked one to the slips just to mix it up.

 

[Stefan9]

So is the pitch flat or were the English bowlers just bad

 

[centurymaker]

Akash Deep was quite unlucky in Australia in the two tests he played. He could have got 3fers/4fers. Things & decisions just didn't go his way. He limped off at the end of 4th test and Krishna replaced him for the last test only. Based on his performance, there was no reason not to play him in the first test here. He should have definitely played ahead of Thakur at least.

 

[SkyBlue]

Really have to question the Indian thinktank here

They play Akashdeep on bouncy Australian pitches and Prasidh on seaming English tracks

It's almost as if they're waiting to get humiliated in order to make serious changes

Gambhir's credibility as a test match coach in serious question here

 

[Johan]

So is the pitch flat or were the English bowlers just bad

England bats are the issue here

well that was always on the cards wasn't it

could be an innings defeat at this rate

 

[trundler]

So is the pitch flat or were the English bowlers just bad

It's still flat. Fielding for nearly 2 days ****s up most batting lineups. The combination of scoreboard pressure and fielding forever in the sun remains undefeated.

 

[PaulLennon]

Lord's PTSD for England.

After a few years of rebuilding the Indian pace attack is back.

Siraj reclaiming his mojo and delivering on his initial promise when he destroyed Australia's streak at the Gabba.

Akash Deep the next Shami.

Prasidh also has promise and will fix it like Ishant.

High potential Arshdeep and Rana.

And leading them, the greatest pacer of all time Bumrah.

@capt_Luffy congratulations, guess the bet is still alive

Bumrah needs to play all the rest 3 for me to have a real chance tbh
