2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[centurymaker]

Washy's been worse than Bashir with the ball

That was expected when you play a part timer instead of a proper spinner

He scored 42 runs but will end up giving much much more at a high rpo of 6. He will end up being a net liability! Braindead selection

353-5 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Molehill]

He’s excellent.

Burgey tasting. Jamie is the best Smith in the world.

I mentioned a while back his similarities to Gilchrist and Burgey scoffed. There for all to see now….

 

[Johan]

Bashir: 3/167
Sundeja: 0/122

absolute cinema.

 

[Howe_zat]

2nd most runs from a top 7 where there were 3+ ducks. 27 more for the record

That Mirpur test had Bangladesh recover from 24/5. After a partnership between Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das of 272, they went on to record an extra 3 ducks from the tailenders.

Didnt know washy was a part timer.

 

[ashley bach]

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

Prasidh also has promise and will fix it like Ishant.

Something does not look right about the indian team selection and balance. I know its already been talked about a lot but I think they are a genuine strike bowler short. Sometimes we make it too complicated.

This is strong stat-age but FYI I unfortunately can't appreciate it to the fullest level because your avatar change has confused me.

Kuldeep would've been smacked for a few here too by these bats, but he would've been a bigger threat than any Indian bowler on display by orders of magnitude. Can't in right conscience say we deserve a positive outcome from this game after a brainless non-selection like that, especially when Bumrah wasn't going to play. How in seven hells did you expect to pick 20 wickets?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

India, throw in the towel already

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Finally the new ball to scythe through this lower order

 

[andruid]

How do the English and Indian posters feel about taking over for your team's bowling attacks.

No thanks, looks like awfully hard work out there.

No thanks, looks like awfully hard work out there.

I can submit my application to play for England as I’m 5th or 6th generation descendant…the pay is good

 

[andruid]

Jamie Smith has more runs this innings than his entire T20 International career up to this point.

Yeah watched that live. Was a great effort from the two.

 

[King Kane]

Brook cramping, India will be hoping he retires hurt, that seems about the only way they might get a new batsman to the crease.

 

[mackembhoy]

Brook will have a 60+ average regardless of how the rest of his innings goes.

Smith would need an almighty 295 to end with a 60 average if he was to get out and 236 at least with a red inker.
