1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Most predictable dismissal ever.

 

[slowfinger]

stokes just wouldn't give up on that shot would he

 

[Johan]

If India lose this with Bumrah, that will be massive pressure on him to play the rest of the tests too.

there's no preassure, take him out and England makes 700 in the first inning

 

[Molehill]

No more left handers now, that will negate Jadeja's threat you'd think.

 

[trundler]

That was the absolute most brain-dead, purely lunatic innings I've seen. I've never seen such sustained, monotonous idiocy before.

 

[subshakerz]

They can't wait 14 overs for the new ball to bring Bumrah in.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

We've been so abject in the field it's easy to overlook how bog ordinary England have been as well. They've just managed to spread their mediocrity a little more evenly. Two trash sides.

 

[Uppercut]

What a strange innings from Stokes. How did he land on a strategy of sweeping singles against the turn out of the rough almost every ball? And not change anything when he kept almost getting out?

 

[OverratedSanity]

I never ever like it when teams have these wide slips.

 

[Alex0paul]

Get Root and we will be in for a thriller

 

[cnerd123]

India don't deserve to win this for the sheet number of catches they've missed. England just being sloppy with the finish line in sight.

Feel like his thought process was basically that it worked for duckett so would work for him as well. That and he’s really bad against spin.

 

[Molehill]

That was the absolute most brain-dead, purely lunatic innings I've seen. I've never seen such sustained, monotonous idiocy before.

I think there was method in it, spinning sharply from outside off, you couldn't get out lbw playing that shot. But it was a bit predictable for setting the field.

Get Root and we will be in for a thriller

Get Root soon and India are huge favourites.

Laker taking 0 on a fifth day pitch then must have been unheard of/Bradman just that good.

Or a complete road!

 

[subshakerz]

Situations like this are why India needs an actual allround spinner as opposed to home-oriented ones.

 

[slowfinger]

is it just me who can't get with this new term "batter" it's not ****ing baseball ffs

It's Headingley, the pitch never ****ing deteriorates.

Modern cricketers don't have the art of batsmanship. Maybe Root and Lokesh from this Test. The rest are very much just batters.

It is so female cricketers are not excluded
