2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[Darwin Award]

Shubman Gill now holds the record for the most runs ever scored by an Indian batsman in a Test match.

... And now the next milestone for him is to join Gavaskar as the only Indian batsman to score a double century + another century in the same test match.

 

[centurymaker]

So he said he was 14 then? And has started using the Rashid Khan calendar? (IIRC Rashid started very early)

Yeah kind of. He had said that he was turning 14 on 27th Sept that year (2023).

 

[slowfinger]

what do the indians think of Yuzvendra Chahal? Handy to have a decent legspinner in the side here or not good enough at test level?

 

[honestbharani]

What if his admitted birthday is still off, like Waqar Younis' seems to be?

Nah... they do some tests to establish the age these days. He does look almost 16 and is super talented, even if you account for that real age.

I mean even Kuldeep doesn't get a game and chahal is just many levels below him

There are spinners ahead in Test

 

[honestbharani]

Might've sent Reddy with license ahead of Jadeja.

GG has his white ball mode on. That means right-left partnerships over logic.

Also probably a worse batsman than Prasidh

 

[Johan]

He can hold a bat?

 

[honestbharani]

I think the CW Indian fans community should collectively apologize to Saini tbh. He would be worlds better than Prasidh.

Prasidh: worse than actual net bowlers (Natarajan was better)

Also this is low key dreadful game sense by Jadeja. In his own world

 

[SkyBlue]

Bit of pointless batting happening atm

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Jadeja looked more assertive walking in at 210/5 in the first innings. Figure that out.

Have no idea what he is doing. Playing for/protecting his spot? Doesn't want to get out and get dropped. Because he isn't doing anything with the ball and there is Kuldeep breathing down his neck as well as Sundar

 

[centurymaker]

Stokes is wasting his energy bowling so far down legside

He doesn't have the improv needed to take on anything that isn't absolutely in his strikezone. Though surely this has to be some kind of missive from the dressing room and captain.

 

[Test fan]

Wtf Jadeja doing here ?

First and foremost it's important that India don't lose from here. Gotta make the game safe.

 

[SkyBlue]

Pointless innings from Jadeja

The only logic I can think of is they're looking to completely wear out England making them bowl and field as many overs as possible and give themselves at least 15 overs to bowl at before end of day's play
