No game awareness whatsoever. He really needed to dig in and bat time above all else, but he just looks incapable. He's a great player to have when your batting unit is strong and laying solid foundations. You don't want him anywhere near this batting line-up though when he has to come to the crease with the team in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Absolutely thrilling counter attack from Thakur. 50 off 32 balls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 191 all out. Very poor, but could have been a lot worse. Beautiful conditions for batting now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 That Thakur innings makes things interesting, at least. Don't think England actually bowled badly to him either, just played a good innings. England's catching needs to improve though, not good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 That makes it interesting. Just as England looked to be getting back on top that levels it up for the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Good fightback by India after a poor day with the bat. Somebody else is going to have step up to the plate for England with the bat. Haven't seen that yet. Set up for a good day tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Umesh on fire this morning. Gets rid of the nightwatchman, Overton then takes the big wicket of Malan, who was looking threatening. 62-5.

It will be intersting to see how it goes if the sun comes out and it dries out for a bit. Big hour for England and for Pope to show he isn't an overhyped cricketer. I cannot understand why they have the dreadful Warne on commentry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big hour for England and for Pope to show he isn't an overhyped cricketer. I cannot understand why they have the dreadful Warne on commentry. I think cricket commentators, for the most part, are excellent. Even the more, erm, hyperbolic of them -like Warne or Swann, who seems have been given the boot by the Beeb anyway - are sufferable at worst. Pope has all the makings of a test cricketer, it’s just a question of whether he’s a Ramprakash or a Thorpe.

I have a real issue listening to Swann a man that shat out of a toyr to keep his bowling average under 30 and let his teammates down, he's also a slavering shitgibbon. I'd rather have a home based commentator or an Indian one instead of Warne, also a slavering shitgibbon. Of course the correct choice is often to mute Sky and listen to the commentry on TMS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I don't mind Warne as a commentator. Rob Key can gtf though, not a fan of his at all. Anyway, this partnership is huge. They've quickly pulled England out of a crisis, and if they continue to lunch and for much more than an hour beyond, England will be ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have England slightly ahead at the moment. A couple of quick wickets puts India back on top though. If these two knock off the deficit in the next hour England are well on top 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant to say was that if they are still there an hour after lunch then England will have a lead. I agree that England are sightly ahead just now in the match situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Was just cursing Siraj and asking the TV where the f**k Ashwin was and he's done the business. Has looked awful but he's a confidence bowler and that should put a spring in his step. Game on again. Pant's chirping is very entertaining.
