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

[Fuller Pilch]

How long can England persist with Crawley? Surely he's had enough chances, it's time to bring back Rory Burns.

Bring him in as a surprise selection for the 1st Ashes test.

LMAO, getting out to Nitish Kumar on a flat pitch is a crime

It's been playing two heights today.

 

[cnerd123]

Surely questions should be asked about selectors.Crawley no more please get some bowlers who can bowl like indiaWe get no movement but India wobble ball all over the place

Crawley and Bashir are Bazball project players. I guess the management won't drop them unless they find other players with similar attributes/vibes. They don't want a dour opener or a short skiddy spinner.

I'm surprised Hartley has fallen out of the picture tbh. He seemed to have the same attributes as Bashir but with a better record, better batting and the added boost of being a left arm spinner.

Didn't Rob Key make a test double once? Explains a thing or two.

 

[Nintendo]

He was in pain throughout. Was quite a heroic innings tbh.

Regret not watching the partnership now.

Was it 260 odd too?

 

[silentstriker]

Jadeja should get like two to three befor lunch just to get a gauge on what the pitch is doing for the spinners at the moment. It’ll give some idea on how to rotate the pace guys after lunch.

 

[Spark]

It's not just that Crawley is so bad, it's that he's lucky and bad. He's wasting luck that should be saved for a better player!

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Jurel thinking he's keeping to a team full of Madan Lals.

Wtf happened to this thing overnight? Was there an earthquake that destabilised the underlying surface or some ****?

 

[silentstriker]

India will have bowled like 21 overs this session.

I wonder if England bowlers end up getting less out of it coz they are all tall, the way one of the English analysts explained it last game. Was it Broad?

 

[Spark]

Surely with balls behaving like that you don't want to be bowling wide of off stump at all. Make the batsman sweat on the shooter.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

I forget how good a keeper Sangakkara was. Here's a great batsman on comm and he suddenly opens up on the intricacies of keeping from very real, extensive experience.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Standing up to a fast bowler on an uneven pitch with a big slope. Hmm k

 

[Ju7]

1st time I've seen Juwel and he looks v good!!

naturally breaking up.

Maybe? I guess Indian quicks do tend to be skiddier-type quicks as a rule and instinctively tend to bowl straighter, but this feels like a pretty extreme difference.
