England in the 90s

[Ed Smith]

Should have stuck with the run out

A genuine question to ask at this point is how can I spend this much time playing yet somehow get worse?[DOUBLEPOST=1609711486][/DOUBLEPOST]31/5!!

Think it has come to the stage where the batters need to go thirty years in the future and start batting at 10 an over to spin, just go for it! Or as jos buttler’s bat handle says...

What you got out team wise?

What you got out team wise?

Gooch, Stewart, Gatting, Smith, Hick, Fairbrother, Salisbury, Lewis, Jarvis, Taylor, Malcolm.

Salisbury batting 7, 4 seamers, in India. Paul Taylor, left arm county trundler.

I mean that’s shocking but sadly not 49 all out shocking.

Oh well, they’ve enforced the follow on so only 10 and a half sessions to bat to save the game...

Bat for 9 sessions and then give Hick the new ball.

I mean. You have no batting from Hick down. But still, 49 is a shocker

One thing I think I've noticed here is the crowd sounds in India do sound a little more "intense" than in England?

This is nice if so, though it is quite subtle.

Hard to draw a line between creating ambience and character and sterotyping I suppose.

Main difference I imagine is when the batsmen hits one out to deep cover for a single, the Indians go mad like they have won the World Cup whereas you might see the English yawn..

i know how you feel blockerdave .

Well, I'm quite pleased to have taken into day 3...

Kambli shared a 50 partnership with Tendulkar on his way to 192*

It was by far the biggest score of the inns and a great performance. England got distracted by the new ball and should have stuck to spin - the decision to play 4 seamers unsurprisingly has not paid off. IN INDIA.

England were then humiliated in the first inns.

But have shown more fight second dig, although losing Smith just before the close was a blow.

Kumble is somehow wicketless.

Gatt hasn't used his ban to slim down.
