*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[mackembhoy]

Tbf that is a lost art, the reason why our past batter were great against spin is because of this. They could use the occasional sweep, SRT/Sehwag/VVS/Ganguly/Siddhu(?) all had it, but importantly jump out of the crease to disrupt bowler's lengths! Sweep because 2x as effective if you do that. Most Indian batters don't use sweep & rarely step out of the crease, this is why Jaiswal/Jurel & to a lesser extent Sarfaraz have done relatively well.
Do you have a problem reading what sarcasm looks like?

Yeah I’ve got autism and ADHD. So I miss things and then jump in feet first too quickly

Anderson needs 2 wickets for his 700th.

Could happen tomorrow.

Cook keeps calling the Root one controversial.

It's only controversial if he thinks India are fiddling through DRS.

If not how is it controversial?

Only if Stokes bowls him!

 

[Burgey]

Massive missed opportunity by England

No Kohli, no pant, no Shami, no Rahul, no pujara, no rahane, no Bumrah and jadeja for one game

Pujara and Rahane have been dropped. You can’t count them when they’ve been excluded by choice

Still think losing your first choice spinner is a bit more of an issue in India anyway.

 

[Silver Silva]

Only about another 300 to beat Bradman?

Yep a more realistic target could be Gavaskar's 774 runs vs West Indies 1970/71 , the most runs ever by an Indian batsman in a series

 

[silentstriker]

Considering the conditions, I say it's even at this point. May be 55-45 in India's favor at best.

I’ll give you 55-45 odds for any amount of money you want to bet with me. Interested?

 

[Ashes81]

Obviously a really disappointing day for us but fair play to India, they fought back really well.

The innings from Jurel was massive. Even though we still had a 1st innings lead, you felt the momentum was with India.

I don't think we did too much wrong with the bat, Kuldeep bowled brilliantly on a tricky pitch.

We needed at least 1 wkt in the short spell before the close but India got off to a flier.

Apart from the 1st day, the 1st session has been good for batting and if its the same tomorrow, India may cruise this.

But you never know. Wickets can fall in clusters on this pitch so never say never.

From very little play I saw from Bashir, I have one word for him. rhinoplasty

 

[OverratedSanity]

Watching the highlights and that carrom ball from ashwin for the foakes wicket was masterful bowling. He's often overbowled that variation through his career, uses it so much better now.

You should try your luck here

 

[Aidan11]

England should be 50/1. They really have zero chance of winning this.

 

[danzydab]

Instead of Australia, England should have toured last year when India had no Jaiswal or Bumrah in the XI. And KS Bharat instead of Dhruv Jurel

I don’t think tours work like that. There is a cycle and schedule. You can’t just tour when you feel like it

 

[Aidan11]

India will probably rest everybody next test and play their u-19 team.

They'd still win.

 

[GIMH]

England should be 50/1. They really have zero chance of winning this.

Zero is silly. A couple of quick wickets in the morning and the game looks very different.

I probably think India get home about 5 wickets down like. But I’ve not given up all hope

 

[Gob]

Hey it’s not done yet by any means. **** could go side ways tomorrow. That’s why bazzball has been so successful

 

[_00_deathscar]

I don't hate him. I just hate abilities (or his lack thereof).

He’s an excellent keeper who is occasionally somewhat handy with the bat. Do you want one who’s **** at both because we have one we can give you…

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Yea I think England can still win this as long as there’s assistance from the pitch tmrw
