6 drops in a single innings is ridiculously high, though. One (maybe two) could possibly be classed as difficult chances, but these are supposedly classed as elite cricketers. Do this in the winter, and it'll cost us big time. It actually looks like it'll cost us here. How many runs have been scored by Indian batsmen after they've been dropped in this innings? Jaiswal alone scored 98 more after being dropped on 20. I'm guessing somewhere between 125 and 150 runs?

We caught our catches we could be batting! We been diabolical in the field! And the throwing at the wickets by Ducket and pope been piss poor to! Thought we were a professional outfit

Hope he gets to keep that top

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

The arms round the shoulders came after Duckett's "You can't get me out in here". Totally needless, and karma hit him.

You're making excuses for him. I get it; you're Indian. We're all biased towards our own teams. But when his own team mate ushered him away, it tells a tale. I compare your team's behaviour to Pakistan, when they came over during Covid. Their movements were severely restricted , basically confined to their hotels. But they never complained. They play the game hard, certainly. But they're not as yappy as your mob. I'd prefer them over India, any time.

I think most experts have said it gets easier to bat on and with us being a bowler down it was always going to be a tough day (especially as we have holey hands!)

Wasn't it Fred Trueman who told the Rev. David Sheppard "get tha' bloody hands together!" when he missed a catch?

Absolute shambles. From the selection, to the bowling, to the catching. Everything bar Crawley and Ducketts opening stand has been amateurish to the extreme. But as long as they are smiling and enjoying their cricket then that’s ok - apparently

Oh dear and I thought it was only the England women cricketers who drop catches;)

Let’s bowl to Washington’s strongest shot! That’s a good idea. Clueless

Bazball and butter fingers.

I predict England to be 58 for 3 at the close

What shit bowling this is to the tail

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Our "attack" is making this fucker seem like prime Viv Richards

Although he is batting at the tail, Washington is a batsman.

 

[waspish]

Bowlers are fucked every ball that been smashed are a sit up and hit me for six balls!

 

[waspish]

Be all over by 2:30 tomorrow

 

[jimharri]

Would England be bowling the way they are (hopelessly) to avoid going in to bat this evening?

Conspiracy theorist? Me?

 

[jimharri]

Be all over by 2:30 tomorrow

Nah; I don't think we'll score 400 in that time.

 

[jimharri]

They tried their best to drop another one!

 

[vmsuhail]

Good spell from Josh Tongue. A fighting total for us. Akash Deep vs Duckett up next.
