England win toss and bat

He's a great player when the situation allows ie when Eng are on top and playing with total freedom against a poor attack, but I think his ego comes first now, hence the reviews.I think Bairstow is lucky to have made 100 test starts. He's had his moments but not enough for me. Yet another duff review from him too.
The reviews especially from Bairstow have been ridiculous on this tour, nearly all have been plumb LBW.I think Bairstow is lucky to have made 100 test starts. He's had his moments but not enough for me. Yet another duff review from him too.
Can't help himself. The most arrogant English player since Boycott.The reviews especially from Bairstow have been ridiculous on this tour, nearly all have been plumb LBW.
It's the biggest mauling since the Romans put the Christians and the lions on the same bill.Doing well this morning I see.
India already passed 250 with just the one wicket down.
A century each for Rohit and Gill.
Have we had a more shambolic series in India?
Complete overhaul required in the red ball game.
Bazball is the future.It's the biggest mauling since the Romans put the Christians and the lions on the same bill.
I still think we'll come back strong in the summer on English wickets and be too strong for West Indies and Sri Lanka, it's just I think we're mentally beaten by Indian conditions and their opponents ability particularly when they're at home.Bazball is the future.
He's quite close to Boycott isn't he? Or he was when younger.Can't help himself. The most arrogant English player since Boycott.
Nailed it apart from the we’ll come back strong in the summer think it’s going to take a lot longer than that for me.I still think we'll come back strong in the summer on English wickets and be too strong for West Indies and Sri Lanka, it's just I think we're mentally beaten by Indian conditions and their opponents ability particularly when they're at home.
The best thing they can do now is get that flight back home and go in to therapy for a week or two.
I'd be worried about Day 4 refunds if I was an Indian big bod.... of I was India I'd declare now, bowl us out in a session day off tomorrow...
Test debut as well for Padikkal and he’s 63 not out.... all top 5 Indian batters have passed 50 runs, only one of ours got passed 30 ... the word annilation springs to mind..
40 now and still counting.Batters 9 and 10 put 27 runs on and counting...
Everything..I thought we were a very good side, what’s gone so badly wrong
I can sort of understand reviewing for an LBW, but caught? It wasn't as if it was feathered either.I think Bairstow is lucky to have made 100 test starts. He's had his moments but not enough for me. Yet another duff review from him too.
We are nowhere near as good as we are hyped up to be.I thought we were a very good side, what’s gone so badly wrong
Probably right on everything thereWe are nowhere near as good as we are hyped up to be.
Because we seem to care only about one day competitions these days, our game is now dominated by players who lack the technique or application to thrive in the five day format. Especially when playing away from home on surfaces designed to favour the home team.
He usually is.Probably right on everything there
Stop being so bloody positive, this is now time to announce the end of English cricket as a competitive force.We are at least a lot better than we were a few years ago
You’d have thought I’d learnt this by now? I’ve been on this site 20 years and I’m still not scarred enough to be furious or entitled enough to expect victory.Stop being so bloody positive, this is now time to announce the end of English cricket as a competitive force.
No one is revelling in the misery at all but they might as well knock down Lord's and turn it in to a mosque or whatever Sidney Khan wants.
I blame Wokism.
20 years??? Newbie.You’d have thought I’d learnt this by now? I’ve been on this site 20 years and I’m still not scarred enough to be furious or entitled enough to expect victory.
Trouble is Bashir and Hartley will be replaced at county level by some medium paced dobbler who can bat a bit.It's India away ffs.
We could have played non-Bazball stylie and still got tonked, prodding and probing at 1.5 runs per over, still looking completely clueless on how to play spin.
As for the bowling.. at least it looks like we've unearthed a gem in Bashir at the very least who possibly wouldn't have had a sniff under previous regimes.
I think its forgotten how shit we were 2 years ago.
I think Bashir has done enough to be involved with the test squad over the summer, but you’re probably right about Hartley.Trouble is Bashir and Hartley will be replaced at county level by some medium paced dobbler who can bat a bit.
I've woke up to the usual carnage of England capitulating to the magic of the Indian spinners, anyone who has tickets for days 4 and 5 pop them in the bin chaps.
