I am sick to death of Sly and their OTT favourable production and commentary in favour of India. Makes their coverage of the rags and dippers feel fair

The coverage is a shadow of what it used to be on Sky.
TMS is far better.
The Australian lady on Sky is absolutely abysmal. TMS has Isa Guha, Ebony Rainford-Brent and Alison Mitchel. All 3 of them are fantastic female commentators and summerisers.
I suppose we should be grateful that Shy have not wheeled out Eoin Morgan. He is utterly atrocious.

Tv India currently justifying India’s appalling behaviour. I’d like to think an England player would offer Siraj for a one to one chat later

Don't give it out if you can't take it back

I love a good old handbags in cricket ? you need it something because it's a sport after all

Stick it up your Bumrah!!!

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Pointless moaning thats what they want aggresive cricket.They wont change till the Aussies win 4 or 5 nil.We are always going to be for 3 for not many as Crawley,Pope Duckett are not good enough.

Crawley and Pope yes. But Duckett?!?!

He's arguably been our most consistent batter over the last couple of years, and was literally the man of the match in the first test!

Okay he's had a bad game here, but to say he should be dropped is beyond ridiculous

Good thing about being a batsman is if you murder the fast bowler by launching a well timed straight drive at his skull there ain't a court in the world that can convict you.

disagree, Lloydie was great but I like all the India co comms. A couple of the stalwarts - esp Mark Butcher are a bit one paced.

Extras at 27 doing nicely for us

Agree with your first two but not Duckett. He’s a class above those two

36 overs with no spinner is surprising? Especially to Stokes

and vice versa of course, but sadly they have helmets these days.

as you ordered.

No mate not that clever, I typed it as they showed the spinner coming on for the 37th over.

I thought Root was out there

 

[waspish]

Close that

I was disappointed when they binned off Botham and Gower, then went really downhill when Lloydie and Holding went. Pretty boring this lot

Unlike some, I’m a huge fan of Bazball but must admit I’m enjoying this current passage of play. It’s a proper war of attrition.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Good leave Joe

And that is exactly what he knows how to do, the vast majority of the time, when so many of the others don't. He may well be here this evening — the problem is, he'll run out of partners.

Excellent and hard grafted 60 partnership

 

[BringBackSwales]

That Aussie now, “credit to India that they won the second test”. What about England in the first test? Everything seems to be from the Indian perspective

 

[M18CTID]

Yep. A lot happening for the spinners here.
