India can’t believe they were only 27 behind and not they will put on a score that will be so hard to get!

Think a drawn series is pretty fair though!
 
Dunno if I’ve been brainwashed by mumbai sky but we deserve to lose this test. Apart from Atkinson we bowled badly but the batting was breathtakingly incompetent. Yes we got to 92 for 0 playing shots but there comes a time when you compromise and play aggressively but keep the ball on the ground (Crawley) and don’t play high risk paddle shots (Duckett). We should have consolidated and accepted four an over rather than trying to carry on with 8 an over. Shocking batting in general

Nah not against these horrible screaming cunts, surrounding umpires, screaming in players faces when they know they can’t get a slap, sarcastic arms round shoulders. Horrible cunts

Jaiswal is just hitting every ball had as he can! Should caught that but was hit so hard

In these conditions the openers seem to pick between trying to hit everything because eventually you're going to get an unplayable ball that keeps low or moves loads so score runs off the balls you can before that happens (Crawley, Duckett, Jaiswal), or the complete opposite, barely play anything (Rahul).

I generally listen to TMS. Far more insightful and a lot more fun.
To be fair, I like listening to Ponting. He knows what's he's talking about and articulates it well.

They had more charisma for sure and a lot more cricketing skill.

I think Hussein and Atherton are very good analysts and try their best with banter when they can, but aren’t as smooth in delivery.

They’re all infinitely better than the hype merchants doing the IPL!
 
Why is that plonka our on field replacement for woakes he is wank in the field dropped an absolute dolly! Blaming he couldn’t see it!

Pretty hard to catch a ball you can’t see though. Can’t believe that some of the digital advertising round the boundary edge are red.
 
Joke fielding.

On commentators - this lot are more concerned about likes. Hussain has been an utter disgrace this series. The over intense, humourless and literal, Ian ward never ceases to bore.
I have it on fairly reasonable authority that Butcher got stood for not rimming India. Apparently said something about one of them looking a bit "village"??
