Off Topic Cricket 2021

Momentum has shifted......

 

Think this partnership is where we lose the series.....

 

Stokes is out on his feet in the 40 degrees heat.
Game and series slipping away here.
Everything depends on Anderson with the new ball, unless the old one will reverse.

 

New ball hasn’t stopped the runs flowing, at least it’s going to 3rd day

 

We're bowling really poorly now and look spent.
Should we have selected another seamer instead of Bess?
Pant totally destroying England now.

 

Game running away from England at a fair pace now

 

The commentators could quite possibly **** themselves off if Pant gets a ton.

 

Game changing partnership......

 

Fantastic innings by Pant.
An amazing talent.

 

Annoying but......

 

I think the England management have one eye on the 20/20 World Cup - which is in India later in the year - so may not be at all unhappy about players signing up for the IPL.

Oh, and Pant has gone nuts, taking the game away from England.

 

We went into this series with a chance (slim to be fair) of making the WCT final at Lords this summer. I notice that this has got hardly any press, I assume because we weren’t very optimistic about our chances.

 

Just woke to see the score.

Trail by 140 runs, 20-2.

Utter cack again i guess.

 

28-3.

Just come home ffs lol

 

33-4

White flag waving

 

Pretty pathetic how we crumble, our spinners are ****e as well, brought in the xtra one for this test & seamers have taken most wickets

 

We haven't had a world class spinner since Swanny retired, the current crop look sadly lacking...

 

111/7

 

Well done for taking this to the third day England!

Struggling to think of the positives from this tour.

Apparently England have now have 71 consecutive batting partnerships without a single pair getting 50 between them.

111/8

Lose by an innings and 25. Hopefully we don’t just blame the pitches, and take a good look at our batting.

 

Really all rather embarrassing.
India are the best test side in the world and we have no top class spinners. Bess is just not cut out for test cricket it seems.
Players like Bairstow, Stokes and the openers look totally out of touch with the bat and there's no doubt that our irritating rotation policy has seriously hindered us.
Well done Lawrence, who at least looked like a batsman of some quality.

Oh....

And I really hope we hammer them in the one dayers, with the same irritating commentators on air.
