Hit it as well as he hit his missus.



ALLEGEDLY.

And he’s a fucking rag.

Well, that's it, isn't it? Series levelled before the end of day 4, in my honest, sober opinion. Really, have England deserved much more? It's been a long time since I've been so irritated by England cricket. After that absolute shit show with the bat yesterday afternoon, compounded by absolute shit show out in the field. It's not even that the Indians have been particularly good. I recognise that they fully outplayed us in that second test.No problem there. And a good rearguard action at OT.Again, no problem. That's the nature of the game.

This has been England shooting themselves not merely in one, but in both feet.

Just a faint, faint chance, if Joe plays the mother of all innings tomorrow — and I'm talking double century and maybe then some, and enough people hanging around and making dribs and drabs of 20s or so to keep him company.
Nah, not really going to happen, is it?

As Atherton said, the Indians fooled/tricked him.

He was expecting the bouncer.

Fair enough, but he played down the wrong line completely, bouncer or otherwise, it didn't seem to move much, so poor judgement of line really.

No chance of persistent drizzle for the next couple of days over "sarf Landan", I suppose?

Lose more that 1 wicket before dinner it’s over

I thought it swung in late.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Some over that.

 

[jimharri]

300 runs required, over 150 overs to get them. What's the problem?


;-)

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Shit.

 

[bert's broken neck]

Duckett - wtf! All day (and tomorrow) to bat and he can’t leave anything!

That’s his style. No batter is perfect.

Very few of England’s are for sure!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Duckett - wtf! All day (and tomorrow) to bat and he can’t leave anything!

And that’s why he isn’t good enough. Big hundreds against top sides are very rare

 

[BringBackSwales]

Screaming Indian cunts. If you’re gonna scream like that then review it or stfu

 

[BringBackSwales]

Ragerton calling Joe Root aggressive. It was the Indian **** who screamed in his face that was aggressive, who wouldn’t have responded to that? Ragerton and Indian Nasser both former Indian captains, and yet neither will criticise an Indian. Cunts

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fuckett and Crawley against Starc Hazelwood and Cummins! Not sure I’ll be staying up all night for that “fun”

 

[jimharri]

That’s his style. No batter is perfect.

Surely, a decent batsman adapts his style to suit the prevailing circumstances? At the start of play, 2 rpo would do the job. Boycott mode. No need to play at anything that doesn't need to be played.

 

[BringBackSwales]

2 batters to get a hundred and we have a chance, these two or Brook?

Edit - well it won’t be Pope, and waste of a review “skipper”. 106 for 3 hardly a surprise with our top 3.Cmon Yorkies

Smith has a test average of 53 (14 tests). Including 184 not out in the second test against India. The highest score by an England wk in test matches, and the highest score by a batsman coming in at number 7 in England's test history.


Half of that would be very welcome!
