2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[Johan]

Ok Tongue hit the right spots, well done lad.

Tbf he dominated Steve Smith and looked a decent test option until BJ Watling played probably the greatest ever innings by a keeper and wrecked him.

He never dismissed Smith in a series where smith averaged 100.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

He never dismissed Smith in a series where smith averaged 100.

He literally knocked him out.

Watling > Archer > Smith

Watling inspired NZ to a series win, while neither Smith nor Archer were on the winning side

I know probably nobody else has noticed this or did in the first game

But why do 2 of the stumps have a white paint/cover above the sponsor and the other one is just plain wood.

It's the off stump to the left hander on both sides of the wicket. It's annoying me

 

[Uppercut]

Be interested in what others say but I would say Lions gets more coverage than most non-Ashes cricket

Also lots of good rugby has stayed FTA. They both have their obsessives but I would say that at this stage it has several times more casual fans than cricket does.

 

[RightArmMystery]

If we could stop bowling wide half volleys that'd be nice.

But for the umps curse them, woakes could have had all 3 and justified another ridiculous decision by Stokes. looks easy for india now.

India have no bowling attack. England will score a 1000 on this and win by an innings

 

[Silver Silva]

Jaiswal has now scored more runs against England than Virender Sehwag in 17 less innings!

We seem to always be on the receiving end of these decisions so it’s nice for it to finally go the other way.

obviously, Sehwag averages 29 against England.

 

[Silver Silva]

Yeah but Sehwag makes an all time Indian Test XI and still to do it in 8 less tests is epic

I'd rather we would have got this luck in a match we could actually win. It's useless for this game

 

[Uppercut]

This bowling is so bad that it's a pleasant relief when the coverage cuts to that ad about a kid farting in class.

 

[Thala_0710]

Karun Nair has crossed 26! This is now his second highest test inning ever. Be afraid England, be very afraid.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good toss to lose again.

 

[Nintendo]

Last time Karun Nair passed 26 vs England we all know what went on to happen........

 

[mackembhoy]

Good toss to lose again.

Yeah we're defs going with the logic it will be good for 5 days and we can chase whatever.

But I don't really like that tactic because why let the opposition put you under pressure.

Tongue is awful

 

[cnerd123]

Good work by Jaiswal, scored enough to cover one drop next innings
