India tour of England Aug-Sept 2021

[Dutch]

Yeah India have let England play well

What kind of lead becomes too much for India? I imagine England will be hoping to bat once.

I think around 200-220 lead could well result in an innings victory for England. I don't see England chasing anything more than 120-130 even with a 170 lead and the pitch getting better to bat on. Hoping to see a KLR special in the 2nd innings.

Sharma must be close to having used up all of his "senior bowler" credit

Weird decision to open with Ishant after lunch. Been poor.

Nothing new here!!!

India looking ragged already

Indian fans posting % dropped right off in this thread?

This is reminding me so much of Ashes contests in the 90s, where you'd swear blind the two teams were batting/bowling in completely different conditions.

So nice to be on the other end of it for once.

Root 50....luvvvverrrrly shot!

 

[asprin]

Guess England is gonna bat just once. The scoring rate has increased too. Root already nearing 50 - how in the world does he make batting look so easy?

 

[Dutch]

India looking very second rate at the mo

 

[blockerdave]

Pleased for Malan too!

Suck it Ed Smith.

 

[blockerdave]

Wonder when was the last time all of England's top 4 got a 50 in the same inns?

(Probably not happened that often in a whole series recently!!)

I cannot remember the last time I saw anything like this
