Izzy Posted 10 September 2018 Posted 10 September 2018 Thought the Indian players have shown a lot of class today considering they’ve been up against it. Not sure we’d have seen the same sportsmanship if it was against the Aussies

purpleronnie Posted 10 September 2018 Posted 10 September 2018 Well done Alastair Cook. The word legend gets thrown around far too much, but he truly is a legend, what an amazing record, and not only that he's a man who has scaled the heights and done it with class and dignity, a rare thing these days.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 11 September 2018 Posted 11 September 2018 Great knock from Rahul, could carry his bat the way he’s going. India can certainly be proud of their performances, and are fairly unlucky to lose this series 4-1. Been so much closer than that but they just came up short in the really crucial sessions, especially chasing gettable targets. Australia away up next for them (come on India!).
Crinklyfox Posted 11 September 2018 Posted 11 September 2018 Rahul could get a double ton or Jimmy could take 6 wickets, it doesn't matter, only one player's getting MOTM. Step forward Alastair Cooke.
Guest MattP Posted 11 September 2018 Posted 11 September 2018 Surely the end of Rashid now if Root prefers to bowl himself on a pitch like this.
Guest MattP Posted 11 September 2018 Posted 11 September 2018 If Rahul does pull this off and get a draw he takes the MOTM off Cook as well.

Playing Rashid in these games has to be the selectors bedding him in the team (despite his contributions) for Sri Lanka & Windies away tours? If not then frankly one of the most bizarre selections ever.

But he's not even bowling when the pitch is turning sideways now so I don't see why they would take him on either of those, surely Leach, Crane, Bess and Ali take the three places between them.
Super_horns Posted 11 September 2018 Posted 11 September 2018 Good effort by the Indians playing some exciting cricket but you feel once one goes the rest will follow - Andersen to take the last wicket caught by Cook?
egg_fried_rice Posted 11 September 2018 Posted 11 September 2018 That's an absolutely outrageous delivery by Rashid.
Guest MattP Posted 11 September 2018 Posted 11 September 2018 Ffs that ball will probably now keep him in the team.

And so it should...He will have a good tour out there...with both Bat n ball.Overseas he's our no1 spinner. And what will be a good idea,is trying to get Moen staying at no3,on both tours SL and W.I
fuchsntf Posted 11 September 2018 Posted 11 September 2018 yes!!! Shredded through Anderson!!!I What a great Series, totally totally enjoyed every game...I Pundits ,pitch analyse...100%. Wrong. Well done India...finding a pace attack. Kohli,proving he can play around the world. Plus I see them staying no1 for awhile,deservingly.

You can't be serious about Moeen at 3 either?
