4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

[cnerd123]

It could be a case of looking a better option when unpicked. He averages 30 in first class matches in India and all matches he has played in tests are on spinning wickets except for the one innings vs Australia. If he was such an ace, the Indian management would have certainly played him.

Yea perhaps Kuldeeps been innocuous in the nets

 

[Johan]

Woakes been unlucky not to pick one up so far, bowled some beauties, almost moving slightly too much. Need a breakthrough here

story of the series for him so far.

 

[Molehill]

Good to hear Punter on commentary, sounds like he'd have had a bat reckoning it was already dry and likely to break up later.

Carse is very arse so far.

No?

He's done well in the first innings on flattish decks multiple times, two games at Dharamshala vs Australia and England, Vishakhapatnam vs England was another one. This sounds like a desperate attempt to somehow find sense in a bad decision from the team management.

 

[silentstriker]

Kamboj only has one FC fifty, Kuldeep is a more accomplished bat than him.

IDM 3 quicks + Jaddu and Sundar. Thakur is proper bits and pieces. Neither wickets nor runs.

Unclear if Gill even trusts him to bowl.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Ponting brings extreme enthusiasm to comm. And it's all exclusively technical too.

jaiswal playing like he got yelled at after 4th innings lords dismissal

Making do with Woakes and Jadeja this match, but no Reddy has really put a damper on my enthusiasm and anticipation in watching this.

 

[Molehill]

Pretty certain he's getting a ton here, he's played and missed so many times now it's getting farcical.

 

[Johan]

I think Jaiswal will get like 250 here

 

[Thala_0710]

Brother please, do not ****ing pull

 

[Shri]

hmm lets see how we **** up this perfect session just before the break

 

[Blenkinsop]

Dawson should've gone for that.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good toss to lose

 

[Burgey]

Does OT still turn late like it used to?

 

[silentstriker]

hmm lets see how we **** up this perfect session just before the break

And right after.

 

[silentstriker]

Need to know what book he's reading. I need to judge him.

Carse is very arse so far.

Stokes is probably the only captain in history that wouldn't have batted first on this.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Jaiswal looks crap today.

 

[silentstriker]

Stokes is probably the only captain in history that wouldn't have batted first on this.

Gill didn't seem like he was sure either.
