Cricket

Good session GAME ON . Proper test cricket .
Great to see some England fans in the ground . Are the Barmy Army there !!!!
 
Rubbish end though. Every game either Pant or Sharma pulls a killer innings out of the bag to piss on all our good work.
 
Bess won’t get a better pitch to bowl on than this and he’s struggling badly, not nice to see to be honest.
Stokes will sleep well tonight, just hope he’s got something left to give.
 
Agree Jari, not nice to see, the lad must be so down. It would be bad enough knowing the Management/ senior players didn't rate you if you were playing for the local team on Viccy Park of a weekend, to happen in the full glare of a test series is tough.
 
India played a blinder. Got us thinking the last wicket would swing so we packed our team with pace bowlers, and the track record was this one would deteriorate and spin like crazy and again it hasn’t turned out quite like that.

I’m sure there have been a few to say that about us.

Without Roots runs the tour could have been an embarrassment. There’s not much under the surface and the selection policy has been naive.
 
Jari you’re on the button. Ed Smith and the management are to blame for this. Again.

Bess is 23. They pay scant regard to the careers of young players thrown in whilst learning their trade in specialist roles. Terrible man management. Like with Ali. The waste of only playing Foalkes only in testing conditions.

They’re also fucking Oli Pope up.

Whilst proven test match failures like Bairstow and Butler get the run of the green on selection. Again and again,
 
Got to feel for Sundar stuck on 96 waiting for your maiden test match century .
Be nice if we show a bit of fight with our batting now . Can’t see it tho and as FNQ says , game will be over today .
 
I’m not normally defeatist but jeez, let’s get all out today, lose by an innings and get back home tomorrow with our tails between our legs. There’s no point extending this torture the longer it goes on the more harm it’s doing.
 
One very small crumb of comfort is India will now face New Zealand in the World Test Championship final rather than Australia.

A game I will try to get tickets for.
 
Foakes and Lawrence actually look quite decent at the moment.

3 ducks in 4 for Bairstow.

The only surprise with this one is the bloke didnt ask to review it.
 
Our batsmen when taking guard to spin look like they are facing up to Harry Potter.
It’s unbelievable to watch really.
