    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    We're witnessing Pant maturing into the consummate hundred-hungry run-machine.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Pant's hunger for runs is second to no "pure" great batsman. He really, really loves batting.

    Brilliant, KL. Everything we rightly expect from him.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Pant's gonna throw his back out going after Bashir like that. Murderous power behind these shots.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    As good as Pant is, him lining up at 3 down just does not feel right. For all the talk of balance, we still haven't figured this one out. At least rejig Sudarshan and Nair around 3 and 5 (yes, that means giving them more chances this series), and let Pant assume some semblance of a more...

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    No and no. Anyone who watched Ishant pre and post Perth knows he lost his action and everything else that made him so potent till he had to remodel himself into the conservative medium pacer of his later years. With the wherewithal at the BCCI's disposal at the moment, we shouldn't have to give...

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    I * think * those wickets will suit his game more if anything. He's clearly a see n hit sort with more than a touch of premeditation about him. Factor in predictable bounce and he should be right at home. Different pedigree of fast bowling though obv but think he has a 100 in him at the very least.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    What overs to develop, and at this level? You're either born with game sense or you're not. There's a difference between a plan gone awry and no plan at all. It's plainly evident Prasidh doesn't know what he's after running up to bowl unless it's been forcefed to him on account of his prior...

    Peak Bumrah vs Peak Steyn

    Bumrah's a more talented bowler and better at working out batsmen across conditions.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Long way to go. Likely we'll fade away and set no more than 250.

    Dropett to the fore. Chill out, SSD.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Indian selectors have refused to treat Shardul as the fluke he was always bound to be. Should've never banked on him as their go-to abroad. Though I will say he's not been allowed to grow into his career either.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Sudarshan looks the part. Might get out now that I've said it but he looks very organized and fluid in his defense.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Hate commentators being overly familiar calling players by their first names. Professionalism, ***** (looking at you, Dinesh)

    Curtly Ambrose vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Did he take a lot of blows to the head during his batting career which have belatedly started showing up in his behavior? The difference between the suave and measured Gavaskar till about '00 and the caricature he's been since is insane.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Some ***y driving from KL all Test long. Guy looks like the greatest bat of all time when in flow.

    Official Jasprit Bumrah fanboying thread

    I used to read the cricket columns in Marathi newspapers as a kid. A particular headline from say 93-94 has remained embedded in my head: "वॉर्नचा धुव्वा सुरूच!". It means Warne's explosive streak continues, from about the time Warney was at his peak. The same can be said about Bumrah everytime...

    Take that, England. The lead is ours.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    I suppose Jadeja's at least been good to keep one end somewhat quiet. Not sure if he has the ammo to deliver on Day 5.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Man, as a seamer I'd be so effin abashed moving around Bumrah in the dressing room after these showings. He's a very nice guy but jeez what do you even say to him: "Gote mooh mein aa gaye, Jassi Bhai 😔"?
