2nd Test (Edgbaston) - July 2nd

[Silver Silva]

Why are India batting ?
If you can't defend 500 just doff your cap to the opposition

Indian fans in the stands with a creative 'We want 6!' chant

Because we have every bored office worker's favorite Stick Cricket bowler Prasidh Krishna in our ranks.

Shubman Gill : 550 runs in 2 Tests

Most runs by an Indian in a series : 774 runs.
Gavaskar did it 54 years back

The last person to score 900+ runs in a series was in 1928 by Wally Hammond.

 

[slowfinger]

That's because India's batting lineup is not better than England's consistently lol

it's just a complete disrespect to the art of bowling.

it's like "yeah f*** bowlers, let's just not bother worrying about that" king of mentality

 

[Silver Silva]

Another record for Gill most test runs ever in a Test without a triple hundred.

Um no. Bradman scored his legendary 974 in 1930.

without a triple hundred.

Yet

 

[Silver Silva]

Jadeja is the master of taking single off the final ball , must drive his teammates nuts.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Root's bowling average: 45.54

Symmetry

Wonder if Duckett and Crawley are thinking "We'll show 'em yet!" right now.

 

[SkyBlue]

Has Gambhir done NKR dirty here? Would've been an ideal opportunity for a guy like him to get a quickfire 40-50 here

Looks like the first innings failure would now give Gambhir a very legitimate excuse to drop him

 

[Dissector]

Obviously India really doesn't want to lose this test and they have a healthy respect for England's chasing skills. If they declared now the RRR would be around 4.7 but perhaps they are looking for something like 5 before a declaration.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Jadeja gets to 50. Thought that would mean the declaration. Clearly not.

Does Gill want a 550 lead?

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Can't lie, love running the bowling side into the dirt like this. The despondency is delicious.

 

[Agonizingly Awkward]

Need to declare now

 

[flibbertyjibber]

20 overs tonight and 90 tomorrow?

Surely it's a time thing as they have enough already

Most runs by an Indian in England: Dravid- 602.

So that's definitely going to go .... lol

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Quite a bit of rain about tomorrow too according to the forecast.
