2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[morgieb]

i'd probably have them too, but if memory serves me well they were woefully ineffective especially on placid tracks such as this

Didn't really bowl all that many pies though. Bashir seems to have a drag down every over.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Damn. First time seeing that single-handed attempt at clearing the boundary not come off.

 

[OverratedSanity]

thrown his wicket away there

And the bat

 

[Starfighter]

Tbf if he were 18, I won't consider him anything special.

Sarcastic?

 

[Spark]

Can't even be mad, it's just too funny to watch

 

[Daemon]

Bashir’s made Pant his bunny. Class bowling.

 

[silentstriker]

Tbf if he were 18, I won't consider him anything special.

Didn't he just hit the fastest century or something? That by itself is special.

 

[Johan]

**** PANT, NOW BASHIR IS GONNA GET SELECTED UNTIL 2028, AGAIN AND AGAIN THIS MOTHER****ER KEEPS THROWING IT TO BASHIR

 

[silentstriker]

New rule: if you catch someone's bat, that should also be out.

You love to see it

Paul Harris with a career economy rate of 2.78, Hauritz 3.14, Bashir 3.78. Maybe numbers are inflated now due to Bazballian effects?

 

[Burgey]

Obviously not a fan of Bob Willis?

Nah Willis was a fine bowler but Fraser was better

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Has Atherton ever said a word in anger or behaved in a harsh manner? Man is just zen and chill allround.

They are definitely inflated in this era. But Bashir just bowls too many pies for any spinner I've ever seen play this much at the international level

 

[silentstriker]

IMO India should let Bashir take a five wicket haul after getting a 500 lead. Should do that instead of declaring. Make him undroppable.

 

[King Kane]

Pant was here for a good time, not a long time.

He is entertaining, thank god the cricket gods saved him from that car crash.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Let's just score another quickfire 50 and throw all the other wickets to Bashir

 

[Johan]

I hope anyone who throws his wicket to Bashir rots in hell.

Maybe even a hattrick.

 

[GRAB]

Has there ever been a worse specialist spinner than Bashir to have played as many tests?

Did you watch SENA cricket in the 90s and 2000's? Check out Ian Salisbury or Pat Symcox or Paul Wiseman at all?
