That was what - 23 overs in that session? That's with a spinner bowling some as well.

Duke's owner explains ball making process and allegations
I didn't know that the Duke's owner was an Indian man since 1980's - should this put to bed the endless allegations about **** cricket balls? The man seems visibly irritated that his company is getting bashed around like this.

what is he saying? missed it
Nothing controversial just extremely boring with nothing insightful from someone who I thought was considered a good thinker/captain. He did repeat about 5 times that Gill has a long way to go and a lot more to learn in being a Test captain lol.

He was bloody good captain. Won us series with his captaincy making best use of limited resources. Only if he could bat well
I think that’s the wrong link. Is this the article?

Why should it put to bed the endless allegations about **** cricket balls when the cricket balls are, in fact, ****?
Maybe if he was competent, and was able to make a good cricket ball, he would have less cause to complain about people criticising his company's **** cricket balls.

I don't even know where to begin with the idea that Indian players celebrating hundreds is a sign of a uniquely milestone-obsessed culture. It's like the most common, standard thing to do anywhere in the world.

If someone is a real team man in this situation that Rahul is in..., just celebrate when you help your team overtake the opposition's total. Raise your bat then! Just change things up. India needs a change in perspective. These batters start behaving so differently once they enter 90s. And then they let out these crazy roars and still bloody lose after scoring five individual hundreds in the first test. They get a 100 and soon after get out because they have achieved "their goal". Reference- the two collapses in the first test.

This is just complete nonsense. Like, genuinely struggle to know where to even start with this.
This is the kind of bizarre thinking that ruins teams, not enhances them; I can't even call it a Langerism because it's so out there.

Why would him being an Indian have anything to do with the clear evidence that the quality has gone down in recent years? These balls are not fit for Test cricket and he needs to do some serious quality control, or ECB should move on to another manufacturer.

Think most of our crowd is just generally bad at conveying ideas and vision in language beyond mealymouthed platitudes but especially so in English. Virat was good once he moved past the 'intent' and 'expressing yourself' schpiel. Dhoni made an effort, but the rest of the post-Sachin generation are more doers than elocutors.

Should not come in the way of winning or an important match situation tho. Thats the point.
Lot of 90s-00's Indian cricket was focused around getting big tons over winning test matches.

But it didn't? It was Pant's call. He was the one who decided to commit to the single. Yes, Rahul wanted him to come through, but it was ultimately Pant who ran himself out.

Only want automatons playing cricket. Lets remove all emotions from sport. That'll be fun to watch. Maybe just have Indian built robots vs English built robots, etc.
