Savage Henry Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Holy shit sauce England. Under McCallum, often it has been the batters than have turned the game. Could it be the bowlers this time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Fantastically bowled from Hartley today. No idea what Ashwin was thinking there, though. England 1 away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Fair fucks to Hartley after getting battered in the first innings to come back out and grab 7 wickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 England's win just shows that no matter how much Test Match cricket changes on the surface the old rules still apply and chasing 200-250 on a Fourth Innings pitch is never a gimme! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Kite Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I just heard that current Liverpool and District Comp top dog, Ormskirk CC were giving out free bevvy, in honour of their former bowler. Will be an interesting season for the Mighty Lancashire, with both Tom Hartley and Nathan Lyon on the books.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to a stage in these sorta Test matches where the tension just grows and the first 2½ where India were on top just seems to extrapolate this and I agree there is nothing else in sport that quite matches it. Below is the cricinfo summary at Teatime on Day 3 where they are predicting a win for India - anyone backing England at this stage would've made a pretty penny. Thought we'd get one more over, but nope, that is tea. It's been a compelling session, one in which India have tightened their grip on this contest with a succession of wonderballs. Jadeja's two-card trick to Bairstow and Ashwin's humdinger to Stokes were the killer blows, but Ollie Pope has been excellent. And as for Jasprit Bumrah, he is just a masterful seam bowler who transcends all conditions. India will win this Test, surely, but England have had their moments in adversity. Hemant will be back shortly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 This looks a better batting track than the first test but India very well set. England's spinners look comfortable playing a containing role without looking dangerous in terms of taking a wicket. Cue the Indian spinners coming on and getting all sorts of crazy bounce and turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 England did well this morning to not do their usual and allow the tail to add 100+, India all out for 396. Another good start from England, but have gone from 114-1 to 229-8, largely down to a couple of brilliant spells by Bumrah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Bumrah finished with 6-45 earlier, England ended up all out for 253. There isn’t a better quick bowler on the planet than Bumrah in that sort of form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Is there something odd going on with the Saffer team? I'm not as up to date with international cricket as I was but I've heard of about 3 of these guys (Petersen, Paterson and Olivier) . Plus I've just googled the captain and he's making his test debut. Contract disputes or clash with T20 leagues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
