Fuctifano Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 There are definitely actively worse guys in cricket but he's definitely the prime pantomime villain since Ricky Ponting retired. Draw is still massively odds on at the bookies which gives you some idea of the forecast for the next 3 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's the Phil Taylor, Steve Davis thing. When you're the best at something etc etc. It's not as if he's Oli Robinson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Really poor shot from Pant. That's what you get with him though. 4,6, out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 England burn all their reviews, Buttler wasn't keen to review that last one but Root overruled him. There was a noise as the ball went through but it was nowhere near the bat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Saw a tweet yesterday that the only team with more dropped catches in the slips than England in recent times was Bangladesh.English slip fielders: "hold our beers...." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Great running catch by Broad brings the Indian innings to an end with a leas of 95. 5 wickets for Robinson who has bowled very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon if the weather stays away long enough, they'll knuckle down, grind their way to 130-2'ish and look like they're going to save the Test, only to totally shit the bed and end up 155 all out. Stat on twitter yesterday along the lines of they've been bowled out for less than 200 in 8 of their last 22 Test innings, and only passed 300 twice. Truly rank rotten.

In fairness, he’s probably England’s best test player of all time, and certainly their best fast bowler of all time. You would have a hard time replacing him in any circumstances. His numbers aren’t going to be beaten by any current player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Maturin Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 England's dreadful batting living up to expectation. The octopus at the crease Burns goes for 18 and Crawley again proving his Pakistan knock was a freak innings departs cheaply for 6. Root to the crease. If he goes this will be all over pending rain by 3pm. Shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes this will be all over pending rain by 3pm. Shambles.All on sibley and root now. If they can get a 60-70 lead then england will have a chance, as the middle and lower order will slog a few. A lead of 200-240 would lead to an interesting finale in this match.But can root continue his solid form, and can sibley save his test career? If they both get half centuries then the game will be on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
