I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall he made some dubious comments of a perceived racist nature. I am speaking from memory, which, as we both know, tends to fade with age, but I believe he commented on the Yorkshire racist incident concerning the Asian player (a Muslim, but whose name I certainly don’t remember) and his reluctance to join his teammates for drinks after a match, suggesting something along the lines of ‘They are all the same, that lot’. And No, I am not confusing him with Michael Vaughan and his alleged racist comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky got rid of Le Tissier for something he posted on Twitter. He didn’t say what it was tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 7 hours ago, bearded_red said: Joel Wilson is one hell of an umpire. Would love to see the stats on how many of his decisions get overturned. Statistically he is one of the worst umpires. I think about 80% of reviews are upheld. Wilson is quite a bit lower than that I believe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Need to stop getting up early. Everytime I do it seems to go to pot. Bairstow can’t find a run and Root had the perfect opportunity to build an innings out of form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Surely Joe Root is far too good a player to be getting out the way he has recently. There is still surely a case to occasionally just occupy the crease. Ashwin is out the game, Jadeja clearly isn’t fully fit, surely the wise move is attempt to just see Bumrah off, not get out doing that.

Super Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Perfectly summed up by Aggers England have chucked it away. Test cricket is played over a long five days. You have to be tactically flexible and apply common sense, according to the match situation. England have failed spectacularly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood bowled something like 28 overs in their first innings and is back out there 70 overs later I enjoy the 'bazball" freedom to play your natural game , but it does seem sometimes it's at the expense of just taking the steam out of the game when you need to. What was the gain Vs loss of that Root shot ? I know he does play it well , but he seems to do it because he's expected to . If he sticks around and just plays his sensibly , he will scored at 3 an over anyway. The first Test they pulled out of the bag, but 140 behind and 10 wickets to get on a Wicket that is only getting harder to Bat on ? I can't see past an India win , really hope I'm wrong obviously.

Markthehorn Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Definitely our most disappointing session of the series so far. Didn't build on a good position at all . Root gets Rohit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
