2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[SkyBlue]

If India are to have any chance of winning this game, that clown Prasidh and our spinners have to step up big time

Cant expect two bowlers to do all the heavy lifting

 

[sayon basak]

Siraj bowling Bashir to get a 6'fer.

This is proper test cricket with all the twists and turns, bat dominating and then the ball.

Good comeback from India but man that was limp at the end from England.

Not really. The two dragons came back and they had done the initial damage.

 

[Thala_0710]

play it like as if they put 180/0 with opening partnership.

where would India declare?

If you lose to Bumrah less India.....

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

May be slightly better bowling conditions now. England attack needs to be on it from the word go.

Shame I'm not very confident in them.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Think 320 would be a fine score, if we can reach there by Tea tomorrow

 

[Johan]

If you lose to Bumrah less India.....

I think it'll draw as I don't think India would be comfortable putting England to chase until the end of day 4 and I don't think England will be bowled out on day 5

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Is that the lowest ever (all out) score that contains a 300-run partnership? If not, it must be close.

 

[mackembhoy]

One of the most ridiculous scorecards you will ever see.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Set them 500 with an hour to go on Day 4. Let them have at it.

 

[kevinw]

England tail batting like Josh tongue was bowling

 

[Shri]

eng batters without brook, smith and extras have scored 46 runs in the 1st innings

 

[cnerd123]

That's a proper collapse. Siraj and Akashdeep excellent. Also we finally took our ****ing catches.

I'd be happy with the draw tbh. These ****ers can score at 8 an over. Let's just bat till day 5 and then try to win when Bumrah is back. Hopefully they drop Prasidh.

 

[silentstriker]

I think the attack most likely to take 20 wickets is Bumrah, Siraj, Deep, Yadav and Jadeja?

Then the problem is of tail but you have to start with then intent if taking 20 wickets.

These scorecards are uncannily similar

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Is that the lowest ever (all out) score that contains a 300-run partnership?

Yes!

Also the first time a Test innings has featured 6 ducks and two 150s.

 

[King Kane]

Six ducks would have to be close to a record for a test innings right? Especially for a team that scored over 400.

If you told me a test team got six ducks I would think they would be bowled out for 100 or maybe 150 at best.

Yup.

Also Deep and Yadav not complete bunnies. Deep saved the Gabba test. Yadav helped win the 4th test in the 2024 series with the bat.

 

[Prince EWS]

Quack quack.

Jadeja will probably contribute just 1 of those 20 wickets on current form

Either he's in our top 7 batters or he sits out. Get Jaiswal or someone else to roll their arm over if any of the main 4 need a break.
