My predictions are usually miles wide of the mark, but the way that Rahul and Gill were settled, it looked obvious to me.This is heading for a draw.
I meant the magnificent six!Don’t think Stokes gets to decided how someone should reach century
Because he can read Pope’s chinamen?
If that term is acceptable anymore…
They got 80 runs against top bowlers and nowhere it’s mentioned to mandatorily draw of last hour comes.Well he did tbf ... they got their big moments against absolute filth lobbed up at 37mph.
We have Lintott in county cricket, but think he only does 20/20Don't get many Chinamen, feel India could have played Kuldeep instead of these awful medium pacers they have rotated around Bumrah and Siraj.
Remember Brad Hogg being a useful bowler for the Aussies but was unfortunate to be in the same era as Warne.
Hogg was a one day specialist. He was never much use in test cricket.Don't get many Chinamen, feel India could have played Kuldeep instead of these awful medium pacers they have rotated around Bumrah and Siraj.

Top bowlers is stretching it a bit. I'd go with recognised myself. And yes it is not mandatory it's just kind of the done thing.They got 80 runs against top bowlers and nowhere it’s mentioned to mandatorily draw of last hour comes.
No way of knowing but my guess would be he would have told them 10 overs earlier to get a shift on when they were both in the seventies and the bowling side were already going through the motions. As for prick ....That prick Stokes wouldn’t have taken draw if 2 eng players were batting
They deserved better than the memory of Harry Brook lobbing up some freebies that's for sure.They deserved 100 for their work for playing out 2 sessions and taking match to draw.
I mean he just reacted like any other captain would surely? Mind you I could see Gill getting so incensed he'd signal for Bumrah to loosen up for another stint, even if it ruled him out of the last test.Stokes can’t dictate stuff
Its a lovely ground yards away from a beach. Got a lot of records that ground, not just Sobers one. Clive Lloyd got a double ton in record time. Pretty sure Joel Garner got something there too. And Tony Lewis of off the eyebrows fame, presented test matches for the bbc in the day. Top shagger as wellSwansea was a lovely place to see cricket, saw Lancs there a couple of times.
Posted before that Frank Hayes once put Malcolm Nash for 32 in an over at Swansea, when Nash came up the steps afterwards he was muttering "Never bloody again!"
Wow.They got 80 runs against top bowlers and nowhere it’s mentioned to mandatorily draw of last hour comes.

Pity it isn't at Colwyn Bay.... Cardiff is too far for me these days for a speculative game.And then the return fixture sept 24 last game of the season
I don’t really understand why Overton keeps getting called up. Might as well pick Sam Curran and I don’t particularly like the bloke!Squad for Thursday
Ben Stokes (c), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes.
I wouldn’t play Archer Carse or Dawson! archer Carse are fucked Dawson is wank
I’d play
Crawley
Duckett
pope
Root
Brook
Stokes
Smith
Bethell
Atkinson
Overton
Tongue
I don’t really understand why Overton keeps getting called up. Might as well pick Sam Curran and I don’t particularly like the bloke!
In tests, yeah, but he’s played white ball for England.Overton hasn’t played for England for 3 years they say! Agree about Curran it’s weird he not even in contention
No idea why the selectors continue to rate Jamie Overton. His brother is better and there’s many other superior bowlers playing in county cricket.
May as well recall Chris Tremlett then.Height is expected to they like a tall bowler
Lets be honest with ourselves.. England aren't exactly City either.. they're Spursy!
I might have to amend that..
England aren't exactly City either.. they're Arsenal..
I mean you have to try really hard for anyone to feel for England there..
Infact you could start rooting for them to declare with 7-8 overs left and then just eat popcorn while they start pounding Crawley and Duckett or whoever England decided to send out.
