And Its Smith Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 More chance of India winning now than England. Draw is favourite. What a topsy turvy test match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) So frustrating after taking Pant early. Bumrah will probably skittle through the top order as well. Disappointing so far. Edited August 16, 2021 by Carey 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 They were more interested in picking a fight with Bumrah when he came in than bowling properly and trying to get him out. Moronic stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Surprised India are still batting after lunch. No chance that England are going to seriously chase this and it's quite dark already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Would you open up with Jos and Jonny?… Maybe put the pressure back on India and keep Virat thinking. 270 from 60 overs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is where do we go. I would be amazed if Burns and Sibley got past 10 against the Aussies. 10 years ago we had a top 4 of Cook, Strauss, Trott and KP.

Port Said Red Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 If you can find a batsman in any side anywhere in the world that could play the ball that got SIbley out I would be seriously surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns needs to stay in. Can’t change nearly whole batting line. I think Pope will come back in. The draw is the favourite result here so hopefully get away with one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
