Off Topic 2025 cricket; england in india jan-feb for 5 t20 + 3 odi

hoping the tea break will affect someone's concentration.

 

And they duly obliged

 

phew!!!

 

Good test match that.

Bizarre last wicket though

 

That was a great test match ,still the best form of cricket .

 

By quite some distance....i can just about stomach the 50 over stuff....not t20 and the hundred bollocks are awful

 

Really good four days of proper Test cricket (and one day of stupidity which I'll forgive and forget for now). Well done to both teams.

 

Great test match….India can consider themselves very unlucky with that last wicket, never seen someone get out like that before. Pure fluke in my opinion

 

i agree, although i believe the shorter forms (which i usually call mickey mouse formats) have helped sharpen fielding and other elements.

 

imagine playing for nearly 5 days and that's how you lose it!!!!

 

I've seen a few players out where the ball has spun back on the stumps (especially if played almost vertically downwards) but I've not seen one roll in an arc around the batsman's feet before. Mind you, spinners do get weird dismissals with players around the bat.
