*Official* 4th Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, 4 - 8 Mar 2021

[Daemon]

he's bowled worse for better figures

This is not helping his case

 

[Burgey]

Pant may have concussed his ankle there

 

[Burgey]

Does the pitch have variable turn like in the previous test?

The pitch hasn’t looked bad at all from what I’ve seen. Turned a bit but nothing alarming at all, and even got above waist height day one for the quicks, a rarity in these parts.

I think both sides have just batted pretty badly so far against some decent but not crazy-threatening bowling

 

[morgieb]

the siren feels so weird

 

[Shri]

sundar looks so good when defending against the spinners

only guy out of 22 who plays with his bat in front of the pad in defence

 

[Pup Clarke]

A few too many easy singles being accumulated for my liking. Root should look to bring a few men up

 

[morgieb]

Oh wow i think that was out.

EDIT: That shows why I’m not an umpire

 

[morgieb]

Superb innings given the circumstances.

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Played Pant.

England could really have done with aitorita12 on the Indian selection panel.

I had an interview for a life-changing thing that I had to wake up at 6 this morning for and haven't been able to settle down since.

So I put on the cricket, and now I'm sleepy.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Far too negative this. Even if India make only 250 they'll be big favourites imo.

Does the pitch have variable turn like in the previous test?

Nope, but it has been a little on the slower side today(and Asian pitches are anyways a little slower). You have to compensate for that by bowling a little quicker, Nadeem got smoked in the first coz his natural pace didn't suit the pitch. Bowling quicker out of the blue meant he made more errors, and he was easy to deal with when he bowled at his regular place, the batsmen were getting a lot of time to make adjustments.

 

[honestbharani]

That's pretty much the definition.

Dude, you are arguing for the sake of arguing here. It looked plumb live, the replays showed there was a lot of doubt but I meant I can understand why the umpire gave it out as it looked out to me watching live.

 

[Groundking]

We've been rubbish this session so far.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

please ask karan to take over my role on the podcast in that case

I'll make him sing this

A poem:

Ricky Ponting is the best cricketer
He is one day and test cricketer

Who's better Ponting or Lara?
Pontiing's better, bad is rest cricketer

When Lara went to Auntralia
Ponting defeated the west cricketer

When Ponting went to play with him
Lara defeated by guest cricketer

Ponting had really great abilities
So those who hate him, hate abilities

skills are for greats and hence he has
power to dispatch to fence, he has
every thing of cricketing sense, he has

First the settlement, he would let that be done
then big scores, he would get that be done

Indeed he was a good player
In world, an understood player
To be Continued...
