Shame about the celebration, really.

 

What was said about pride coming before a fall?

It’s the Indian cricket team, wouldn’t expect anything less.

I've had my eye on Sam Curran for a while now.

 

Thought he'd be more of a one day player but he's bowling great length here with consistency. Good to have a left arm option.

 

Hope he keeps going and gets the five-for.

Curran was brilliant earlier. Didn't know he was only 20. Seems good enough to fill Anderson or Broad's shoes.

The swearing was OTT but the mimicking of the mic drop was fine.

Your hate for the Indian team is funny lol

 

Even the person the celebration was directed towards (Root) found the funny side about it and even said its good for the series...

The sort of people complaining about Kohli are probably the sort of people that thought Root's bat drop was great. 

 

There's a really annoying section of English sports fans that love all banter unless it's aimed at them and then get ridiculously uppity and salty (see "do they mean us" thread.) 

 

Come on, it was funny. If you're going to dish it out you've got to be able to take it back. It adds a bit of flavour and personality. 

 

Besides, it'll only bite him in the ass the next time he has a mare. Look at Warner, place goes ballistic every time he's out for one or two. Sport loves a laugh with a pantomime villain.

I wouldn't say it's limited to English sports fans.

 

Most people can dish it out but can't take it.

 

I think the thing with the 'mic drop' celebrations is that Root's was aimed at the media. Not sure why Kholi took it as an act of offence towards him or the Indian cricket team. Seemed a bit weird. Ah well, all adds to the spice of Test match cricket.

I quite liked Kohli's celebration, always good to get a bit of needle in a series as well providing it doesn't get like Australia and South Africa. 

 

Root's mic drop was embarrassing and he even said so himself.

agreed.

the sort people complaining about Kohli probably can't get enough of Vardy giving it large to West Brom fans either each season lol. Or rustling any other fans for that matter.

Agreed. Taking the piss a little with the mic drop is good banter but no need for the language (did he really think folks wouldn't understand it?)

 

Anyway, fascinatingly poised right now.

Terrific bowling effort. I think Broad might have a fight for his place on soon.

 

Curran actually swinging it more than Anderson.

Curran looks a superb little bowler. Skiddy but gets a lot of swing, and looks to be a handy bat too. Him and Stokes both as all rounders could be fantastic assets for us. And I always thought Tom was the better of the two brothers.
