*Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

[cnerd123]

literally every member of this England batting lineup has outscored Kohli, Iyer and Vihari for this match now.

BazBall is unbeatable.

Thakur had been a non-presence as well. Should have picked Ashwin instead.

 

[cnerd123]

Just no plan from Siraj atm. Bowling both sides of the wicket and bleeding runs.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Taking Shami out when it started reversing for Siraj of all people was a pretty bad move.

Underbowling himself too, a first for a bowling captain.

delayed onset of concussion is a legitimate issue

hope thakur stays fine overnight ?

 

[cnerd123]

speaking of medical check overnights - RAT tests anyone?

 

[Dissector]

Basically India cannot afford too many overs without Bumrah and Shami at one end. No one else looks likely to take a wicket.

i dont need a test to know that you are a rat

well not when you have people like Vihari in the cordon

I'm baffled. I was sure he'd either keep Shami going or bring himself in when it started reversing in that over. Did he just not notice what was happening?

 

[trundler]

Woot woot Root

bc where's that post tea collapse you over confident jinxing ****

Surely our understated intelligent coach could send a note out with drinks? Didn't they just have a drinks break ffs?

 

[Dissector]

Does India really have no fast bowling options better than this? Umesh? Ishant?

 

[cnerd123]

i feel Dravid is too much of 'let the boys learn' rather than 'tell the boys what to do every moment' kind of coach. Great for the U19s and youngsters but no so much when we need to win a big Test...

also tbf we don't know if Shami was feeling sore and asked to be taken off.

Bumrah needs to bowl himself now. Break this partnership ASAP.

 

[trundler]

England never* seen a batter like Bairstow.

*Since Everton Weekes

If cummins where here he would have hit 50 runs from the broad over and taken 12-fer, ending the game in 2 days.

 

[cnerd123]

then English fans have gone silent because they know the win's in the bag and don't want to jinx it

bunch of cowardly ****s

Yeah because Australia is great at defending 4th innings totals

The thing I never really considered about playing in this fashion is that it takes the new ball out of the equation. Obviously it’s a big ‘if’, but if we make it to the new ball with the batsmen still in, the game is as good as done. Puts pressure on the bowling side because they just can’t afford to sit back and wait.
