England vs India Test Series

Zak Crawley - **** me what kind of shot is that when you’re two down for not a lot?

I can’t catch my breath. None of the wickets have been earnt by brilliant bowling. All poor, poor shots.

 

**** me sideways it’s moving a little bit and Harry Brook comes out swinging outside off.

For crying out loud man. Play the game situation not your ego.

 

Good for India to have got Duckett out, we need to dig in here!

 

India have not been bowling anywhere near well enough , yet they’ve took three wickets. Hopefully Yorkies see us through

 

Good enough recovery but lots still to do to beat the follow on.

 

Don’t know who the fkn genius is that makes the decision when we win the toss but good grief!
We got away with it at Headingley , but to compound it then by coming out chasing a big score and chucking wickets away with brainless shots is truly ridiculous!

 

you’ve not understood how they want to play. Sometimes the opposition play well too.

 

really? You mean we want to chase a massive score everytime?

 

When he wins the toss in an home test he always bowls first and we generally win. Well apart from the Ashes when he elected to bat first and we lost.

 

Folk dunt half like to moan on this thread. Just enjoy the ride.

 

focussing on the situation not the process. Of course we dont but they back themselves to chase a score in the 4th innings.

 

We might have to chase 900 this game.

 

there won’t be a fourth innings

 

Just need to dig in a bit today and kill some time. Our best hope now is India having to bat again which will waste their time.

 

I know Stokes was out to a good ball today but his presence with the bat over the last 2/3 years seems to be fading.

 

He's turning into Mike Brierley without the tactical nouce.

 

Actually not a bad analogy.

 

That and some rain over the weekend.

 

Another 50 for Brook. His record is phenomenal.

 

150 partnership at six and a half runs an over. It's about time they moved things on a bit quicker
