Said par was about 400/450 this pitch has got better to bat on! India was in the field for around 110 overs let’s see how long we are in the field!

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Only have it on in the background while doing things, but from what I have watched, we simply don't look at all threatening. Too easy for India.

Stokes worse series as captain for me

Archer tried to change the ball after 7 balls today.

England have tried at least 3 times this first 45 mins.

I think this series the balls are so bad that we might actually see some change. People are pissed off, it makes a joke of the most popular sport in the world when the highest level of cricket can’t get balls good enough to play a test match with.

Absolutely spot on. It’s disgraceful. The balls have been shit in England for three years. Why on earth haven’t kookaburra got their act together or the ECB try someone else? Embarrassing

India have the far superior bowlers absolutely toothless

none of our bowlers have distinguished themselves so far, still time tho' - Stokes runs out Pant!

 

[waspish]

Looked well in

 

[waspish]

Nope out that’s the only way we was going to get anyone out this morning

 

[wattle]

Not very good odds for a draw I recon

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Brilliant bit of fielding by Stokes.

 

[KS55]

Give Root a bowl.

Well, on the train home from Victoria. At least Lancs utter incompetence allowed us to get home before the Oasis crowd made it back from Heaton Park! That game was done once we started dropping the catches. You can't drop those in a Test Match. Let alone a T20!

Went to Northants yesterday evening. Lots of big hitting and beer.

India’s tail begins here….

As my Dad used to say, "we're bowling for run outs"!

It's a Dukes ball in this series. They brought the Kookaburra into County cricket but its still a Dukes for the Tests in England.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Important wicket.

 

[waspish]

Great bit of bowling by Bashir

 

[waspish]

Sums up England that in the series in the field who the fcuk should be backing up the stumps there also Pope turns throws with no awareness! Wake up England

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking useless fielding Pope

 

[johnny crossan]

Fucking useless fielding Pope

has a long standing injury issue with his right shoulder - should've have both those run outs tho'.

It's a Dukes ball in this series. They brought the Kookaburra into County cricket but its still a Dukes for the Tests in England.

the lost art of hand stitching a cricket ball
