2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[centurymaker]

Man they gotta stop talking about Suryavanshi as a 14 year old with an absolute straight face.

He is 15.5 years old.

Under-reported his age by exactly 1.5 years.

(He admitted his real birthday in an interview a while back).

 

[slowfinger]

my conundrum from a few days ago seems to be playing into reality here. Do India declare at tea and give themselves 4 sessions and roughly 550 runs to defend or keep going til tomorrow and risk england batting out the draw?

Just a burly sort, probably started wearing full trousers before the rest of the class.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Hundreds for the taking here

Has there ever been a worse specialist spinner than Bashir to have played as many tests?

Are England capable of batting out the draw? Root and Stokes aside, I don't think they are or have shown the aptitude for it yet have they?

Fraser was the best Pommy bowler since John Snow. Was a shame injuries crueled him.

Obviously not a fan of Bob Willis?

from memory, Nathan Hauritz? Paul Haris?

My pants are off when Pant is on.

I'd take them over Bashir, especially Harris

they lasted 90 overs last innings when they batted ****, if the top order does their job they'd score big as well and survive, but that's the question, would the top order do their job?

has to be a bit embarrasing for Toungey to get charged down the track like this

 

[Starfighter]

He is 15.5 years old.

Under-reported his age by exactly 1.5 years.

(He admitted his real birthday in an interview a while back).

What if his admitted birthday is still off, like Waqar Younis' seems to be?

Even if he is 18, that is still amazing to be so good at that age....so it's not taking away from his talent.

i'd probably have them too, but if memory serves me well they were woefully ineffective especially on placid tracks such as this

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pant ya dummy. Well played tho

Tbf if he were 18, I won't consider him anything special.

 

[slowfinger]

thrown his wicket away there

 

[silentstriker]

LOL Pant is amazing but man the traditionalist in me just wants to throw up and applaud at the same time.
