2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[Johan]

Prasidh back

 

[Burgey]

Hahahahaha you’re shitting me. This is borderline match fixing by giving this **** another bowl

 

[centurymaker]

wtf is this mf bowling again?

Why not Akash Deep? Only bowled 4 overs today!

 

[centurymaker]

Gambhir is foolishly stubborn. Not learning but backing the same flawed strategies and players over and again.

 

[Coronis]

So what’s Bumrah’s excuse for not playing?

they are saving him for what would most likely be the much spicier Lord's wicket.

 

[Uppercut]

I have a theory that going to a short-pitched plan too early deadens the duke ball. Usually you still get at least a bit of movement for 40-50 overs or so but as soon as they start banging it in that always seems to be the end of it. Woakes got good movement first up early on day one but when Tongue bowled a few overs of bouncers it was gone.

You only have to listen to any interview he has ever given, as player, coach, or wheedling politician, to know how up-his-own is his default setting.

Fragile baby

Especially when it's bowled at 80 mph and getting tonked into the stands with murderous intent.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Prasidh again. Might as well bring out the gimpsuit and enjoy the S&M.

 

[slowfinger]

Cmon England think about 350, one step at a time ...

 

[Johan]

Nice ton Harry.

 

[chris.hinton]

WE GAVE INDIA A CHANCE, AND NOW WE WILL DOMINATE

BROOK AND SMITH WILL KEEP ON BATTING

I think this new Dukes basically has nothing after 40 overs anyways but you are right, this plan seems to hasten the softening thing.

 

[OverratedSanity]

How did India come out of the session break and start with Prasidh and Sundar? What. Literally any other pair of bowlers would be acceptable.

 

[capt_Luffy]

This is giving me Hyderabad PTSD

 

[slowfinger]

harry, harry broooooook

harry, harry brooook!

 

[slowfinger]

Sunder getting Plundered

 

[Raghav]

Is it a Gambhir strategy to just draw this game without Bumrah, and may be have fully fit Bumrah unleash on a better bowling friendly tracks in upcoming tests
