2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[andruid]

Well, well, well. How the turn tables.

Lol

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I was making a joke because Ish shodi. Young Ish. Young-ish

Meh

Ha ha

Just here to point out I was laughing at England, rather than your joke

Woakes match-winning triple hundred incoming

 

[honestbharani]

yeah good start but with these two, if they get in, there will be nowhere to hide for this attack, with their range of shots.

 

[mackembhoy]

Lesson for Ben that he can't just expect to chase every game and win.

I read the only time he chose to bat after winning the toss was the first day of the Ashes where he declared with Root on 118*

Rude

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

As long as there isn't a 200 for Woakesy

@Red_Ink_Squid

I'd settle for a 150.

 

[King Kane]

Siraj came in like a wrecking ball.

He is enjoying being India's no.1 strike bowler with Bumrah having a rest.

Playing right into England's trap here.

If we get a big enough lead and enforce the follow on, we will get smashed in the third dig and bowled out under pressure on day 5.

If we bat again with a big lead, the pressure is on us to time the declaration perfectly. A draw will feel like a loss and England will go into Lords 1-0 up and with the moral victory of having escaped from this situation.

England hold all the cards here.

 

[Heboric]

England needs a player with a surname ending in "Y" to stand up here (i.e rest of the team)

Idk which gambhiring is worse

 

[Burgey]

Gee Joe Root and Ben Stokes have reverted to mean after that recent little purple patch, haven’t they?

 

[Shri]

I'll bite this time.

Stokes averaging 28 since the Lords ton against yous just over 2 years ago.

Simply not good enough.

 

[RightArmMystery]

These two make scoring look so easy, could really do with them batting for a few hours together.

@Johan guess you have to hold your horses a bit before picking my pfp

 

[halba]

This Eng team is ***. Aus should have no fear of them. The current WI pace attack is world class in comparison and the Eng batting looks generally inconsistent. Bowling attack is stiff as.

I believe Labuschagne should return to No.3(get a positive mindset on him), and get rid of Konstas and Green. Aus are lucky Beau webster is a top batsman at #6
