PaulC Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 It can all change very quickly. Not sure Curran is good enough to be Englands 4th seamer. Still waiting for a significant contribution from Kohli so maybe this will be his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he could demolish India with his demon spin - but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he has got 192 test wickets to his name and 5 test hundreds. Didn't understand his shot selection yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 27, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2021 India are pushing away here - be interesting to see the approach they take tomorrow if they're still only two down at the close of play.

rbcuk Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Watching the bears T20 another shambolic batting display so far 78-6 all southern teams in finals day so far unless we turn this around 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 Miserable batting all year, lucky to get this far anyway. We have two good batters and one of those has played about three games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yes took a spinner to show them what to do. Pathetic effort from the batters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2021 At one point I didn't think they'd get 100. I was surprised they were still technically in it till the last 2 overs. They just never got going till it was too late and too far down the order. Needed Woakes to get a score, it was over when he was out despite a valiant effort by Lintott who was absolutely brilliant really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Rhodes, Burgess are not good enough to be in the T20 team, we need to get a specialist overseas opener, as that’s where we always lose the match, Hain has been the only decent run scorer again in this comp, Took lintott to show the rest of them how to bat Edited August 27, 2021 by rbcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Come on England! That early wicket today is a relief! 3 down. If we can get two more before lunch then will be on the ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Game over, what a morning. Ollie Robinson is some bowler, I've seen a fair bit of him down at Hove over the years and knew he is good but he has been brilliant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only pro cricket match I've ever been to was at Hove, it was a county match (between East Sussex and some other county). It was enjoyable. I wasn't there on the first or last day, it was a day in between. Edited August 28, 2021 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
