2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[Johan]

I thought that series ended in a 2-2 draw.

because the 2022 test ended with Bazball England chasing 378-3, a spiritually healing experience honestly

 

[Spark]

Lowkey Brother, I'd rather every game in England ends 700-800-Draw rather than that series being ever redone, Hell, I'd rather Cricket stopped getting played in England before the 2021 India-England series ever gets replicated.

This is a frankly embarrassing way to talk about a series which, as reminded above, was drawn.

 

[SkyBlue]

Prasidh's done alright. 9 overs at an econ of 2.22. Deep is going at 4 and Siraj at 5.8.

I hope they can get the job done here. A lot of guys have stood up in this Test, they deserve a win.

Time for the guy in your avatar to chip in with the ball. He's made Bashir look competent.

the one time when economy doesn't matter he is bowling tight without going for wickets

Classic example of a deceptive scoreline, the series was more embarrassing and miserable than the last three Australian Ashes combined. Never again.

2021 was 2-1 with India dominating Trent Bridge too.

 

[Shri]

this scorecard music sounds suspiciously like the ones used in the don bradman cricket game

 

[Spark]

2021 was 2-1 with India dominating Trent Bridge too.

Yes. 2-1. Not 4-0 with every Test won by an innings which is what old mate here is trying to portray.

 

[Johan]

lowkey I'd rather we lose 5-0 at home to Ireland than the 2021 India series ever being replicated.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Why is stokes batting so slow? He needs to go for the win

 

[Molehill]

what threat

The fella that averages 20 odd at home when there’s a bit of life in the wicket.

 

[Shri]

look at the boundaries. eng don't just doctor pitches for bazball

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'd rather take a shotgun, put it in my mouth and pull the trigger than sit through another year of what England were pulling in the 2021 India series, lol. Horrible series, just horrible stuff

Do you even like cricket? That series was superb viewing

 

[Spark]

The fella that averages 20 odd at home when there’s a bit of life in the wicket.

I honestly think the entire thesis that England needs to roll out total roads for success is flawed anyway. Blokes like Brook and Smith (and obviously Root) are talented enough to make runs regardless, we've seen with the likes of Pant and Head that ultra-aggressive batsmen are if anything even more dangerous in lower scoring games because they can completely flip the game in a session, and England's quicks really need the help from the pitch to be dangerous.

For You, perhaps, for me, like I said, give me a Australian ashes 5-0 anyday over that.

 

[Gob]

What stops India from selecting

Jaspreet
Arshdeep
Akashdeep
Cooldeep

??

 

[PaulLennon]

Yes. 2-1. Not 4-0 with every Test won by an innings which is what old mate here is trying to portray.

After 2011/2014/2018 India dominating must have felt like a shock (although 2018 was closer than the scoreline).

 

[SkyBlue]

Shame that Stokes is the only left hander left

 

[centurymaker]

I think Stokes gonna have a hard time surviving vs Jadeja.

Just need someone to take care of Jamie.

True, this Test doesn't really count.
