It feels this team is regressing at the wrong time and our tactics have been sussed out

Not really much about tactics this morning, just a brilliant bowler and some open gates.

have we got nobody that can throw a ball that well

or is it just not cricket

It looked dead with the old ball. Bumrah and a new ball very different. I think it’s safe to say we are in the shit pal

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Fucks sake, Bumrah and our batsmen are making a nonsense out of a dead pitch

Definitely not a dead pitch. Seamers got swing all day yesterday especially with the new ball and it's spinning, however 350 is an absolute minimum on this pitch

 

[jimharri]

300 looks a pipe dream.

Ball change after 10 overs fuckjng joke

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Piss take the ball is being changed again after just 10 overs

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Will be interesting to see what Archer makes of it on this pitch.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Are India ever happy with the ball.

 

[waspish]

Why was they asking to change it when Bumrah had it moving around

 

[dadnlad]

broad n atherton talking about bowling lenghts we'll come out and bowl everywhere but where Bumrah is pitching it
feels like to prove a point

That's what I was thinking. I wonder if it was damaged.

 

[M18CTID]

Bumrah's a great bowler and they have the new ball so it's not that surprising in all fairness. Hopefully Smith and the others can smash some quick runs and get us up near 350 - that should give us something decent to have a bowl at.

It’s India, they do what they want

 

[BringBackSwales]

The sooner we give Bethell a chance the fucking better, hopefully we don’t wait til he is 30

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

10 overs bowled in the first hour.

 

[jimharri]

10 overs bowled in the first hour.

The umpires need to have a word with the Indian captain about this. There may be a small amount of time wasting (not watching, so it's speculation on my part) by the batsmen, but not to that degree.

Gill STILL moaning about the ball

 

[waspish]

312 for 7 these two look “comfortable” since India changed the ball when it was doing all sorts!

Serves them right this new ball looks softer older! Umpires should tell Gil you wanted it changed you got your wish that’s the end of that!

The time wasting is in full control of the umpires they do fuck all all day to tell them to rush hurry up!

If it was 20 runs to the opposition for every over not delivered in the day they’d soon get a move on!

Seems utterly ridiculous that they'd want the ball changing when the other one was shitting wickets. Utterly brain dead from India that!
