1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[Stefan9]

Just me or England learned nothing from last wtc. Still miles behind the over rate even with bashir bowling 16.
Bowling attack being toothless means they won't get saved either by bowling the side out within 80 either.

I think they kind of have made it a point that they don't care about it and don't let it dictate their playing styles.

Wonder if Molehill will notice the number of incomplete overs bowled today.

Terrific from Gill so far. Best he's looked in ages.

Gill, Jaiswal, Pant era

Yes.

Or no, depending on how you want to look at it.

On his left wrist? That's a whoop band.

Vaughan ripping into Pant on TMS for Pant being negative only for him to smash a 4 and a 6 a minute later. Poetry

Gill, the destroyer of Gabba is here.

 

[Daemon]

Excellent knock. Now double it.

Every pub I've been to in England has been quite jovial punctuated by bouts of anger. Not an English pub expert by any means, but rarely have I seen unhappy people.

Can't say the same about some other countries.


In other news: good knock from the captain - needs to stay until India have 400. India really do need 450 here given how well its playing already.

Great ton from Gill, captain's knock. Hope he can keep it up.

This series has "India win the tests Bumrah plays and don't win those he misses" vibe.

Sixes in test cricket...

 

[silentstriker]

Needs to concentrate again, don't give it up before the end of play.

 

[Daemon]

That’s quite poor from Bashir. Should’ve been on the ropes.

Win some, draw some. They've completely outclassed us so far today.
