Markthehorn Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Looks like we let a good position slip with a dropped catch and lack of reviews . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Just looking at the NZ v SA test series. What poor form from South Africa to field their C team in the test arena. I know money talks but apart from Eng, Ind and Aus, test cricket is dying… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 England will have to go some from here. Too many runs IMO. We have to start really well and not make silly mistakes. Big ask though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need lots of luck and hopefully get through the last session with all wickets intact . Doubtful but would go a long way to avoiding being out of it early.

And Its Smith Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 England can’t go for the win without being reckless at times and we know they will go for the win. The odds of an England win of 4/1 looks incredibly miserly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowling in to the rough that he created by running on the pitch - hence England being awarded 5 runs. I just hope that England get a healthy first innings lead, and that it comes bck to bite them on the arse when India have their second innings.

One of their batsmen, I forget who, was already warned for running on the pitch yesterday, and then Ashwin did the same thing again this morning. He seemed to be quite aggrieved when he was informed by the umpire that India were going to be penalised 5 runs as he had been cheating. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Joel Wilson is one hell of an umpire. Would love to see the stats on how many of his decisions get overturned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 (edited) Pope LBW - originally not out but on review just clipping the top of leg stump. What happened to “umpires call? Btw - what happened to Mikey and Bumble as commentators? Did they quit or not offered new contracts? They were both top commentators and very amusing at times.

Holding retired, Bumble was got rid of by sky. Has been on talksport commentary for this test match. Still as entertaining as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
