Avfc96 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 That was s****. But it happens. We got hammered by South Africa in the first summer of Bazball. I've seen so many series where England have played 'proper' test cricket and been hammered in the sub continent. This England team has been for the most part brilliant for the last 18 months. I wouldn't put it past them to come back strongly in the next test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 23 Moderator Share Posted February 23 Interesting start on this pitch - it looks like the new ball will be an absolute menace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted February 23 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23 Fairplay to Root! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Root finished unbeaten on 122 and we've knocked over 7 Indian wickets for a current lead of 134. Much better stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 25 Moderator Share Posted February 25 I think it's fair to say things have not gone well since we had them 177-7. Bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted February 25 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25 Ashwin takes 2 wickets in 2 balls and all of sudden England totally lose their advantage.... Can Root rescue them again, hopefully he gets more top order support this time. Great test series this is turning into.... England to win for 2-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted February 25 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25 (edited) It's actually time for Stokes to chime in with one of his innings... He could change this match in a session. In fact the responsibility should fall on Bairstow just as much... Stokes is more capable so I defer to him by default Edited February 25 by Villan_of_oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Annoying collapse. Lead of 200 will be handy still, this pitch looks horrible to bat on. Foakes & Bashir just occupying the crease is the move here, longer we stay in the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 **** disgraceful again. Pissing away a 3rd day strong advantage yet again. Honestly, sometimes **** thids England side. India to cruise to a series win utterly needlessly. Pricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted February 25 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25 It's very frustrating. Batting collapses are almost becoming the norm rather than slogging the opposition to smitherines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Meh. Glad I didn't spend time listening to these clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Most innings there are 4 or 5 batting failures. Usually have to rely on one person putting a big score together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Another wank batting collapse. Too many failures in every innings. Reckless and braindead choices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 India surpass our total for the loss of one wicket. They actually get paid for this dross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I wonder what England would give for a Jonathon Trott now, oftern ridiculed by the cockney press because of his slight eccentricities; and the fact that he didn't play for Surrey, Middlesex, Kent etc !

veloman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Don't know if this should be in the Deadpool thread , but Duncan Fearnley has died. His bats reigned supreme during the 70's and early 80's. The (very poor) team I played for had them . And for a bonus point , we DID buy them from Harry Parkes shop !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
