*Official* 3rd Test at the Sardar Patel Sports Complex, Ahmedabad, 24 - 28 Feb 2021

Will Ashwin get Stokes again?

 

[Spark]

I don’t think he hit it. The spike didn’t look right to me.

i thought he'd missed it by a fair bit on the first replay but it does line up well. gotta give those

Look I’m totally pro rank turners from time to time but a match that may not last even 2 days, and that largely due to the pitch is a bit much even for me. On day five, not that any Test match would last that long, this may make a solid WW1 trench.

 

[honestbharani]

Excellent catch by Pant, btw.

 

[Stapel]

Why would he review that?

We've seen it all: Batsmen reviewing after a clear nick & batsmen not reviewing after a clear miss.

I definitely think this pitch will get cited by the ICC either way, whereas I wasn't so sure re: Chennai

lol pathetic how Kohli positions himself for the cameras in his more "enthusiastic" moments

 

[GotSpin]

This is the stupidest pitch

Oh yeah was always gonna be given when it lined up as it did, just looked like a glove-type spike rather than an edge, and the glove was nowhere near it

 

[Spark]

don't understand why all the hoicks are cross-bat. surely you gotta play straight on this thing

 

[Burgey]

Tres theatrical

 

[Spark]

what's the plan behind all these sweeps? seems a near impossible shot to get right to me

 

[Woodster]

The Sibley review and several others of this type dispel the myth that batsmen always know whether they’ve hit it or not, they clearly don’t!

 

[Flem274*]

oh shut up ashwin that's nowhere near

 

[Spikey]

it's crazy that Trescothick's 2nd slip stance hasn't became cannon yet

Trescothick takes stunning catch | One to work on over the winter 👀 Marcus Trescothick – slip catch innovator 🙌 | By LV= Insurance County ChampionshipFacebook

lol.. he was watching the big screen like everyone else. Its funny how its the same set of guys who keep talking about him and then go "team is better when Kohli is not there to grab all the attention".


On an unrelated note, the slips are all standing way too deep. Maybe they do think the pink ball comes across faster.

Watching this ****show and getting real Pune 2017 vibes. The fact Smith made 100 on that, even with the drops, was absolutely amazing. Can root do something similar?

Yeah was a very good snare. Rode the bounce well

this pitch is muuuuuch more difficult to bat on than pune 2017 was imo

This is probably the funniest 5-fer since Clarke's.

The winner of this might actually be Kraigg Brathwaite's 6fa. Certainly a much worse bowler and it was instrumental in the way the game went.
