*Official* England in India 2023/24 #CryMoreTour

[BazBall21]

Lazy how?

First innings, some lazy dismissals. Peak Pujara would have made a double and slammed the door shut on an England comeback.

 

[Socerer 01]

The commentators all ignoring the leading Test run scorer last year playing "traditional Test batting" on pitches much more difficult than this and thriving...

every word KP says makes me think he is jealous he never got to play in this Bazball setup

Even Gavaskar saying "you have to use your feet" when I think Khawaja went down the track maybe like three times that whole series?

KP in a system and climate that actually encouraged his natural game on top of generally having decent batting conditions since Stokes/McCullum were appointed

 

[BazBall21]

Need these skidders to be on target.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Still think India are favourites Ashwin is no mug with the bat even if we get another.

What did we do to deserve him on comms.

He would have thrived in this setup.

Good to see someone wearing a cap when facing two spinners. Should be mandatory

England bats are actually forbidden from doing so. Helmet mandatory

idk why he keeps getting these gigs

no watcher i know likes him and everyone thinks he is a bellend or prick. that also includes most of the people he works with probably

so why the **** is he on comms

He has fixed his pace big time this innings. Got to give him massive credit tons of players would have crumbled completely after that first spell.

 

[subshakerz]

Cross bat shots are so difficult with this low bounce.

 

[Socerer 01]

after Rohit these 2 are our best batsmen in India atm so this is the key partnership

Yeah long hops aside it was the biggest problem with his bowling for me. Gave the batsman so much time to react to anything happening off the deck. It's ironic that he got pilloried for his "just fire it in lmao" quote when that was precisely what he didn't do.

 

[Daemon]

Analysts: Hartley’s failure proves there are levels to finger spin, can’t just rock up dart the ball in and hope to replicate what the Indian spinners do

Root: Hold my beer

Analysts having an even rougher day today

Bowling spin is piss easy after all it seems

 

[Gob]

England favourites now. Need to avoid ashwin playing one of those knocks

 

[ashley bach]

Root doing more than just a handy job.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Given the average level of our spinners post Swamn there's a fair argument to say Root's one of the best of them.

India 1.78
England 2.26

Nah, I think it would have been a McCullum and Jesse Ryder situation.

The moment you stray from the team first mantra in a McCullum side, you're gone.

 

[Aidan11]

This is tense.

Time to go back into the kitchen.
