Compare them to Pakistan, came to this country during Covid and stayed cooped up in hotels for 2 or 3 mints and played in the right spirit. The most recent series over there played competitively but in a great spirit. Due to the ipl these have become arrogant cunts and can do what they want and behave how the like. The rags of cricketBiggest set of cunts I’ve seen touring this country

I presume we are effectively 4 down with Woakes?

It's not totally inconceivable, even after that whirlwind start, that we could end up with not that big a lead*. 4 wickets (effectively 5) gone for nearly 80 runs.I presume we are effectively 4 down with Woakes?
*or even trailing them!
Effectively 6 down and still trail by 29.
Yep we need at least 75 lead for me! Seems whined up Root and he plays differently

Usually matches at the Oval are high scoring, what has happened to the wicket?

This is our last decent partnership (yes; Atkinson has scored a big one in the past). I'd gladly take a 50 lead right now.Yep we need at least 75 lead for me! Seems whined up Root and he plays differently

Pathetic batting display. It starts with the openers having no regard for the importance to f batting long and it’s endemic within the team. I make India slight favourites here, we should have been looking at a lead close to 150, a bowler down and batting last
Pathetic and total waste of a reviewOverton has to do something with the bat here to justify his selection. Need 30/40 min to make up for his appalling bowling effort

The archetypal England collapse. 7 wickets gone for 123 runs in 30 overs. I said when the opening pair were knocking it all around the Oval, that I couldn't understand the rush, and that crease occupation and time used up was the key. Been proved right, seemingly.

If you're not complaining about the bowling being shit (all of yesterday) it's the batting, and if England are doing well you just slag off Nasser Hussein.
The internal logic is interesting, because England's bowling was pathetic yesterday, and the batting is pathetic today, and yet the 2 teams will end up pretty much level. Anyone reading your posts without watching the cricket would think India are about to enforce the follow on.
If watching cricket makes you this miserable you should probably turn it off. Isn't the whole point of a test match that momentum swings? England got 4 wickets and 100+ before lunch and were totally on top, now India have had a session where they're on top - that's what makes the sport enjoyable.
