2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[OverratedSanity]

bruh Akashdeep might be better than Bumrah

Ok time to put your dick away

 

[wpdavid]

there is nothing wrong with this pitch, as Akash Deep is amply demonstrating.

Sounds fair to me, whatever the usual suspects reckon.

 

[Burgey]

Ouch. Inside of the knee there for Brook wouldn’t have tickled

84-5 first dig

No idea whether that was really down to the colour of the ball tbh.

From what I've heard the ball was actually the biggest problem; the extra layer of lacquer they put on the pink ball to help it keep its colour made it really skid on unusually fast, which made it completely impossible to play when some balls would turn square and some would shoot through

 

[Burgey]

Young team in transition. Plus had Ro-Ko stinking up spots.

Prepare for another decade of domination soon.

 

[Johan]

Jeez is it really that hard to admit the entire world tamper home wickets to be productive to what the home teams perceive as their strengths?

The best Aus team of last 20 years couldn't defeat Ind in Ind which had no Bumrah/Pant and had KS Bharat lol.

Dude, would really love to see you post more often, especially on match threads we lose.

 

[centurymaker]

Why just 2 slips? runs dont matter

Have 4 slips ffs. Have as many attacking fielders as possible.

The entire world definitely does not

Same number of series won in Eng and Ind by Aus in the last 20 years as Bangladesh - ZERO

Don’t lie. No you wouldn’t

i think that the (correctly made) point is a lot of the commentariat in the west act like it’s a Shifty Loser Tactic only deployed by Shifty Subcontinental Boards when they’re just as guilty… usually there’s a bit more intellectual honesty in the discussion about it on here

 

[Johan]

The entire world definitely does not

India does, South Africa does, Pakistan does

Lol no. Why would I?

Granted I don't read much of the print media, but I doubt whether there was much anguish about the wickets in India on our last couple of tours.

Whereas I do remember a great deal of Australian angst about the wickets here in 2015 after Broad skittled them at Trent Bridge.

Maybe I'm showing my bias too much but I do think Australia at least have a bit of a claim to the moral high ground with "pitch doctoring". I honestly don't think we've been guilty of ****ing with pitches to get the ideal result the team needs. Most other nations OTOH have. India aren't even that bad in that regard!

 

[Johan]

Lol no. Why would I?

Holding called Gavaskar a fairweather Batsman, brother is a fairweather poster

 

[Molehill]

A few thoughts whilst I have a moment:

Well played India, much the better team this match.

Why do we opt to bowl first on flat pitches and this hand the scoreboard pressure advantage to the opposition?

Why are we serving up such flat pitches that negates our main bowling threat?

With rain around and a seemingly ultra safe declaration, why did we not try for the draw? Just totally devaluing Test Cricket.

God this lot annoy me at times.
