India tour of England 2018

[Paree]

Wow, Intense session. Need a good partnership from Rahane and Kohli.Otherwise, i'm not seeing India going past 200 or 220.

 

[zimrahil]

Oh you would love that, wouldn't ya?

You got it

 

[Ohm]

Is it that time again when underrated bowling attack of us has an edge over our overrated batsmen?

 

[Villain]

Most reliable ones are out in the middle, Kohli and Rahane. One of them has to score some 60+ runs before he leaves, that'd ensure we get close to 200+. In the worst case scenario I still expect DK, Pandya and Ashwin to score around 50 runs between them, in the end I feel we'd be crossing 200.

Not sure why Stokes bowled the first over after lunch. Surely it makes more sense to continue Curran and Anderson?

 

[ParkedTheBus]

Anderson's decline in terms of speed and bite is showing. He's getting Kohli to make the exact same mistakes as he did in 2014 but the ball is not carrying to the slips anymore. The skill is still present but the venom not so much.

 

[SaiSrini]

That was not a bad start from the openers, who played off 13.4 overs of the new ball. But they could've really kicked on and hurt England badly but they gave it all up in a puff. Rahul proves that he should either open or not play in tests because his approach changed when he came in after 44/0 and he went for rash shots and got out in the 2nd ball. If he had opened, he would have probably bided his time in the middle along with Vijay and could have set himself up for a good knock. And Pujara no matter what the match situation is, usually takes time to get in and on a pitch like this, he could've got in.

India's best batsman out there in the middle. Time to pick the mic up and take the show on the road

One innings for Rahul and you concluded that?[DOUBLEPOST=1533214974][/DOUBLEPOST]

You might want to take a look at what DK did last time India won in England!

If you ask me I'd say we can still cross 300, I never lose hope! About DK, he for sure has enough potential and skill to even get a hundred here but I was looking for the worst case possible since he's returning to Test cricket after a long while that too overseas in England.[DOUBLEPOST=1533215517][/DOUBLEPOST]Rahane's gone.. while I was typing.

DK - you gotta prove me wrong now, time to shine.

 

[CerealKiller]

Not watching the match, how's Kohli doing?

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Missed a straight one there DK!

 

[LiveLoveABD]

This ball tracking in England definitely doesn't coincide with my brain. I though Pandya was plum and I didn't think the one Jinx got away with was anywhere near out![DOUBLEPOST=1533216406][/DOUBLEPOST]

Not watching the match, how's Kohli doing?

Outside edged Anderson 3 times at least!

 

[Aalay]

The only option for India to counter-attack. If they let England bowl the way they have been bowling, they won't even make 150.

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Ben Stokes bowling like a dream! Pandya on 1 and he was out twice to be honest!

 

[Ashutosh.]

Indian top batting order collapsed again. Now, Virat is our last hope. Ashwin and Pandya are also good batsmen.
