1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[honestbharani]

So we have batted pointlessly adding no runs in the last 10 overs, lost wickets, and now injured our new ball bowler.

Hope Siraj is just acting here to cover up his shame. Can’t afford to lose him even if he isn’t bowling that well.

 

[silentstriker]

This is stupid.

Tongue on course for the filthiest 8-wicket match haul ever.

Starc has him covered

The lower order is just so crap.

They can barely last a few overs collectively, forget about runs.

 

[Alex0paul]

Swing the blade

 

[Johan]

lmao

 

[mackembhoy]

Well we've struggled with the tail for ages.

So nice to see someone who can actually run through them.

He's bowled shite for the majority of the game though

 

[honestbharani]

That is the other thing about the line-up I posted. We lose a good #8 but between the 3 Deeps we have 3 #9s batting 8-10.

Four wicket maiden coming up here

You are not gonna get an easier tail to bowl at, though. These guys may not cut mustard against an actual competent tail. Like India in India, for example.

100 years later someone on the PlayerComparisons subforum would post about how this was a series changing over and Tongue deserves to be rated highly for it.

 

[silentstriker]

Someone explain to me the point of the last thirty minutes for India please.

It will only be you, mate.

If I live to a new record for oldest human being of all time, Sure!

Mr. Wolf. Now there’s a great nickname. Not Tonguey.

If Jaddu can get 25+ runs here, maybe like 10% of an explanation but otherwise, zilch. Just stupid batting.

I mean we lost a match and if not for yous leaving for the IPL we'd have lost the series.

Because we decided to bowl half trackers to Bumrah to get revenge for Jimmy.

Shami and Ishant weren't exactly guns with the bat.

It's like all seamers in India grow up hating batting. Who the heck hates batting though even if you fancy yourself a fast bowler? Were these guys just running in to bowl all day long in the summers back home? Did their parents refuse to buy them a bat?
