3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

[SkyBlue]

That was an insane over and this is what test cricket is all about.

I hate batting friendly pitches. Test cricket is a fast bowler's game and should stay that way. Bazball is ruining test cricket tbh.

I never thought he'd do as well as he did in winter.

As he's very much a 30+ average bowler in County Championship cricket.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Gambhir looks soft as **** for a 43 yo guy. To think Watson took a shoulder tackle from him.

 

[SkyBlue]

This is a huge opportunity for Nitish to cement his place by scoring a gritty 50-60 odd

he doesn't get enough lateral movement really

Yep pretty much always been like that for Durham.

His bowling is definitely better suited abroad.

Jadeja shutting down Reddy’s risky two’s. Good.

 

[SkyBlue]

Reddy's first double digit score since the 100 at MCG

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Lord's 2025, the graveyard of fingers

 

[silentstriker]

Hope bashir is ok obviously. Don’t want anyone to get hurt.

But might be an upgrade in both departments with Root bowling and Cooke fielding.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Root has instantly looked the greater of England's spin bowling threats any time he's appeared. Probably a b.i.d. for Eng.

Also if Bashir can't continue do we get a replacement bowler. As the injury was external?

Or does that only apply to keepers?

 

[King Kane]

Bashir going off with a dislocated finger, that is a real blow for India, now a better spinner like Root might replace him.

 

[Silver Silva]

Who was worse Dom Bess or Shoaib Bashir?

Bess fifer against yous has to be up there as one of the worst of all time.
