Yep, I get they want to play positively, bit sometimes you have to play the situation, and not for the first time they failed miserably in that respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time it happened you're like ok they will learn from that. Instead they keep doing it and they have thrown away a chance of winning this test It's negligent from Stokes/Mccullum once again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I’ve only just checked the score and can’t believe they were all out for 319! What the f**k happened!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No patience, a stubborn resistance to admit that a match is allowed to last 5 days if it has to for you to win. Feel sorry for Duckett, all his hard graft chucked in the bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel sorry for Duckett, all his hard graft chucked in the bin. I genuinely can't watch this England side play Tests any more. For every example of Stokes heroics where they blat their way to 500 on the final day or something, there are countless numbers of times they play utterly moronic cricket and deservedly get humped. It's infuriating, and I will not subject myself to it any longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) India currently 367 ahead and will certainly require England to make a record breaking Fourth Innings total to win - how does Bazball affect the timing of India's declaration? ****************** Indian offspinner R. Ashwin is back and will be available to bowl for India in England's Second Innings. ****************** India declare 556 ahead Edited February 18 by btb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Running at just over 2 an over and Duckett's just been run out. Edit: Crawley gone. 18-2 at tea. Edited February 18 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) England 28/4 Gonna take a lot to drag this game away from India... ****************** Poor Foakes - after 98 overs behind the wicket in extreme heat he'd have wanted a lot longer before having to go back out to bat. FFS - Barely finished typing before Stokes gets out. 7 now and England still need 15 runs to avoid making it into the Test cricket's Top 5 biggest defeats.

btb Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Well, when I woke up early and decided to tune in to the Test I never expected it to finish today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Got to hand it to Bazball, from being well in the game early on day 3 to losing by 434 runs by the end of day 4 takes a bit of doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 This is what happens when you play test match cricket with absolutely zero situational awareness. Woeful stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 23 hours ago, peasy23 said: Brilliant, Spain like to get involved in remarkable matches. They also have the record of the fastest ever run chase in T20 international cricket, by chasing their target of 11 against Isle of Man (they got them 10 all out!) in only 2 balls. They hit 2 sixes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 That wicket looks like an absolute road, he refuses to wear a helmet, and they didn't once test him with a half-tracker. Shocking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Root playing more like we know he can, and Foakes providing good support as they help England recover from 112-5. As usual some of the wickets were down to poor shots, but the ball that got Stokes virtually ran along the ground, absolutely nothing he could do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I’m at home with a cracked rib. Talksport’s coverage of this test is absolutely dire. Any enjoyment I get from the action dissipates whenever Darren Gough comes on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
