Cricket - T20 World Cup 2024

4 wickets remaining, keep the faith

 

Good start to third test India are 100/3.

 

They are clobbering our bowlers now.

 

This last wicket stand...

 

This one is going to need another miracle.

 

Imagine how much worse it would be if India were not missing about 20 players.

 

Getting the excuses in early.

 

Wonder how big a lead the Indians feel it is safe to declare.

 

557.

 

Maybe 500 too many.

 

Only another 482 runs required

 

We were awful start of day 3 onwards.

 

4th test started today, England on 166/5.

 

England can’t seem to put a score together as a team, there always just seems to be one player holding the innings together and trying to build partnerships with the middle order and tail. Today its Root, earlier in the series it was Pope, god knows how often in the past its been Stokes.

Also Crawley and Duckett is such a weak opening partnership, both are decent individual players but I think bowlers fancy their chances of getting an early wicket there. You think back to the days of Cook and Strauss going out to bat, bowlers knew those 2 could be there for hours and build a good partnership. Crawley and Duckett don’t seem capable of that and the innings just collapses from there

 

Root has at least partially rescued the situation after a terrible start. Maybe bazball doesn’t work so well in India and they do have a great team. If we can get up to around 400 then we’re well in the game.

 

wtf are you talking about

 

So you disagree?

 

Of course, I disagree. It was a ridiculous comment.

 

It was ridiculous to say they are a weak opening partnership?
