Kid in the Riot Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Good day for sure but we need to be looking to bat all day tomorrow too and putting 500 on the board. Tall order but that's what it takes to win in India, or even get a draw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was that India would then go and get 600+ and bowl us out cheaply in the second innings when the pitch started deteriorating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 It's very apt that we are in page 66 of this thread. Looking at the list of players who scored a century in their 100th test. There are 10 now but Root is the first to get a double century. Ricky Ponting is the only one to get a century in both innings. Come on Joe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Class from Root, Stokes and Sibley. Some decent cameos from Burns and Pope too! Good to see our best players in fine form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted February 6, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Enjoyable mornings viewing apart from one thing, not sure if they’ve turned up the stump mics in Sri Lanka and now Chennai, when the batsman scrapes his bat on his mark, it sounds like someone eating crisps, setting off my misophonia.

Keep going for an hour I reckon, try to get past 600 grinding them down even more. Wouldn’t be surprised if we lose the last couple of wickets pretty quickly in the morning anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
