bearded_red Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 You couldn’t make it up that Pope has done that well against the spin to then get strangled down the leg side first ball from Siraj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The on field umpire should have let them review it and the umpires call goes Burns way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Well, we`ve lasted till tea - just. You have to say the Indian fielders have been superb today though, some world class catching out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Not too down about this. Were always going to get one innings like this in the series. 1-1 after two tests going into a night test with Anderson is a decent position to be in. Moeen and Stone bowled well too and Pope looked good. Some positives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how good a captain he is though, I think Rahane might be the better captain as illustrated in Australia. Kohli’s captaincy was questioned on C4 saying today that today was his fourth consecutive defeat. Absolutely no doubting his brilliance as a batsman tho.

It's not gunna be cinematic, nevermind, I've got City's highlights (don't spoil it, I don't know the score) I'm going for a draw, then one of my favourite Boxers, Josh Warrington is beating up a Mexican road sweeper before dodging kid Galahad and going for the big money fights v the top fighters in the division..

Robbored Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) This test is pretty much all over bar the winning runs. Mirror image of the first test. It highlights just how crucial the toss is, win it at bat first amass a decent score, add a few more second innings and then bowl out the opposition on a bunson of a wicket - just as England did last test.

True in a way but India’s record of winning home tests after losing the toss is superb. They still win the vast majority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 It’s essentially 1-1 no so just got to do best they can and look forward to next test. I thought we would lose 4-0 before series so already better and good to see some new players involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Moeen is better than Bess right now. Foakes giving good for thought on who should keep. Good to see strength in depth across most areas. Could really do with one more batsman but let’s hope Lawrence learns quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last couple of hours the England openers will have been thinking about batting and wondering when they'll have to do it. This prolongs their agony.

BanburyRed Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 5 dropped catches, must do better. So, based on India's 2 innings, this is roughly a 300 run pitch, England badly underperformed in 1st innings, but Ashwin has shown what is possible. Can England bat for the remainder of the test and salvage a draw? Some of the batsmen need to come to the fore now and front up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
