England's tour of India - 2021

[CerealKiller]

And the umpires call which MSD opposed to a decade ago is finally being seen as a mess.

Ironic that you’re arguing for more empowerment of on-field umpires, while wanting to remove the one thing in the DRS process that empowers them. Umpire's call minimises any small mistakes in the technology by trusting the judgement of the on-field umpire in marginal calls.
Now, you can say that technology should only be used when it’s 100% accurate to the last inch, but that is years away. I think we can all say that we’ve been better off with DRS in the last decade.

If its hitting the wickets, it's out. Period.

Technology hasn't reached to that level of perfection yet.

Completely agree.

Has anyone complained about the pitch yet? I haven't had much chance to go through Twitter or this forum to see the whining as of yet.

Nothing much. Just the entire cricketing fraternity.

329 and 54/1. I rest my case!

Dom Bess bowled 19 full tosses in 34 overs in the first test.

Mo managed 10 in the first 29 overs he bowled.

Big improvement.

Not even fully convinced Mo offers more with the bat at this point either

Brilliant article from Jarrod! Summarized how this pitch should actually be seen - not great, but not bad either.

Superb from Ollie Pope and Ben Foakes.

Unlucky for Pujara.

Pujara

Time for Mo to bowl Kohli out for a duck again.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Ben Foakes is gonna win this match for England with his magic hands.

Spoiler: Ben Foakes watch

Good to see Ashwin being positive.
