No one said this but it's nice that you've managed to create a strawman to make yourself look good.

I mean there are several posts in the last few pages ****ting on Shastri while we collapse and you've been liking them. Sorry for making the assumption that this is what some of you here believe.

Yeah that's a nice photo, some good young players.

Jimmy!

 

[SeamUp]

India need to some how get 150 and bowl extremely well. Easier said than done now with that wicket.

 

[vcs]

Rahane looking good though, by far the most assured batsman we've seen today

Please save us Ajinkya

EDIT : lol

 

[OverratedSanity]

oh well, hope we atleast get to 3 figures

You're a little behind...

 

[Pratters]

Not that the practice games would have helped a crazy lot for this lot of dire batsmen but any one arguing the odis were apt replacement for them can perhaps understand now they are such different beasts for English conditions. You need time to prepare for tests in England.

Curran hasn't bowled well here. 100% Anderson back on.

I thought he bowled alright. Generated few edges and got a wicket

His lines were kinda all over the place, atleast relative to how on the money Anderson and especially Woakes have been.

 

[Groundking]

What a strange game cricket it, I thought Rahane looked solid and had his head around how to survive these conditions the best off the Indian batsmen and then he goes and plays a defensive shot as tentatively as that? Jesus Christ.

I hope this is Currans final over.

They can wheel Anderson out every four years when we come here even when he turns 80 and he'll probably keep wrecking us..

 

[Borges]

Ah! 85/7 is it? Can't say I'm very surprised.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Should send Ashwin up to open next innings tbh.

Im surprised they've gotten past 80 tbh

 

[Pratters]

Should send Ashwin up to open next innings tbh.

And we get rid of the runs he makes down the order?

 

[vcs]

Rain forecast on Sunday and Monday so let's hope that saves us.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

And we get rid of the runs he makes down the order?

If he opens hes going to carry the bat anyway

 

[91Jmay]

Broad back on and straight away turding boundaries.

If Stokes manages to get away with it, I'd not mind him dropping out.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rain forecast on Sunday and Monday so let's hope that saves us.

England don't need much more than a couple of hours to bowl us out tbh. Even the raindance is futile.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Broad has been poor all day
