Left Back Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 6 minutes ago, Jimi Shandrix said: Mr Gough and Mr Illingworth are very experienced umpires. I don't think they would allow themselves to be manipulated by anyone. I would say Kohli encouraged his players to enquire about the light but I can totally understand how his mannerisms annoy supporters of other teams. Personally, I think he is a breath of fresh air and a fucking top boi too boot. Oh dear. What an absolutely dreadful take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England have the new ball and a chance to go at India's tail with rested legs. They should be looking to knock them over in the first hour. That should leave a very manageable chase, with absolutely no need to take risks in getting there. If England can knock the over in the first hour you have to fancy them. If it takes until lunch India have a sniff as England love a collapse. Anything after that is a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything after that is a draw.If there's any movement at all tomorrow you'd certainly think Anderson and Robinson will clean up the India tail without too much difficulty. The interesting unknown is will the pitch start misbehaving. The delivery that pujara got was unplayable and came from nowhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Rashid Khan in the hundred has bowled 6 balls, taken 3 wickets and conceded 2 runs. Some going. Hell of a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he played for one of the traditional test nations, he'd finish with Warne/Murali type numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 16 hours ago, Left Back said: It is the umpires decision. Kohli gesticulating and telling his team to try and manipulate the umpires is what I don’t like. He’s not even subtle about doing anything possible to win. I think he’s a piece of shit with a huge sense of entitlement basically. 16 hours ago, die hard doonhamer said: He's approaching his 33rd birthday. There's every chance that his form won't come back. I don't expect that to be the case, but it would be fantastic if it was. Agree with all of this. The man is a c**t. Anyway, this match is fantastically poised. England have the new ball and a chance to go at India's tail with rested legs. They should be looking to knock them over in the first hour. That should leave a very manageable chase, with absolutely no need to take risks in getting there. I totally understand that he's not everybody's cup of tea because of his passion on the pitch but it's one thing being Virat Kohli and it's quite another being Ollie fucking Robinson. Now if you're talking of the spirit of the game, he shouldn't be anywhere near the England set up. There really is a c**t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing for India now is more quick runs and be bowled out on the stroke of lunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
