Annoying that other nations seem to be copying how we play so quickly

Assuming your tongue's firmly in your cheek there?

Oh Rishabh 

[RowlattsFox]

We are a good new ball or first spell bowling outfit but lack of variety highlighted later in the innings and day. Leach isn't good enough despite a decent match against New Zealand. Brilliant from Pant though.

I am sick to death of Rishabh Pant

Following on from the chat about Sangakara saying Jos should open.
 

During one of the many breaks today Nasser said even Moeen might be back in with a shout as an aggressive opened when we want to play two spinners.

 

Thought that was an interesting take anyway, given Leach hasn’t exactly set the world alight so far this summer he might even be back in giving him some competition 

[StanSP]

Oh Ravi Jadeja

 

First test ton outside India. 

[StanSP]

Is Anderson aching from yesterday? Thought he and Broad would be first up to bowl under the clouds. 

[StanSP]

Ignore above, just realised it was to wait for the new ball. 

[kingkisnorbo]

35 off one over to tail enders. Horrific. 

[Corky]

Broad horrendous to the tail. Stop persisting with it.

[leicsmac]

...is there any evidence whatsoever that bowling short to tail-enders is a more effective way of getting them out than simply bowling straight line and length?

No idea but the fact he continues with it after being clobbered is infuriating for someone so experienced.

Proper head loss this morning.

 

Can't wait for Crawley to be out for 5 (9) either.

[RowlattsFox]

Not for the first time, dreadful against the lower order. I think Broad and Anderson have too much power when it comes to plans and then too stubborn to change. 

 

Big test here. Not massively confident, can't keep asking Bairstow to smack a hundred. I feel like we need to play a proper innings..

 

 

[Corky]

Crawley with an encouraging 9.

[HybridFox]

Still can't believe that Broad over. When he gets whacked he gets whacked!

Hopefully his beloved Forest get the same treatment next year.Yes I’m still bitter.

[Tommy Fresh]

There will be a time when Crawley getting 9 will increase his average

Hes broke the World Records at both sides of the scales....

he with Anders on puts pressure on.....gets World Class returns....

then turns the Disc over....and gets wallopped above World Class levels...

But wouldnt exchange his brilliant career for anyones...He s gone well beyond & that stitch further..!!

Yup our debutant bowler and wicket keeper from last week put him in his place. Play one game for Leicestershire and a loathing for Nottinghamshire gets into your soul

[fuchsntf]

India were 98-5

England 83-5…

 

why the panic ??…Business as usual..

 

[StanSP]

Can see Stokes and Bairstow putting up a strong fight like Pant and Jadeja did on Friday in a similar position. A formidable duo to try and displace. 

[AKCJ]

There aren't many sportsmen I dislike more than Virat Kohli.

All's well that ends well. He and Bairstow made up in the end

Ffs. Stokes dropped by Thakur. Just bounced out of his hands.
