India tour of Ireland (2 T20Is) & England (1 Test, 3 ODIs & 3 T20Is)

England just require centuries from Root and Bairstow end too. The game will be in there hands. Game is well set for England.
 
Seriously though, is Kevin Peterson the most annoying commentator going around, in terms of Cricket. The man just won't shut up every so often lol.
 
Pant thought that was plum - probably.
 
Logging off now. Root and YJB are cruising. They will probably be 220-240 by end of day.

Unless India gets 2-3 wickets in a short span, don't really see a result in favour of us.
 
Every innings of VK is a pain to watch. No sooner than he seems to get in the groove, he gets out. He should possibly take a break and come come stronger. There's still a good 2-4 years of cricket left in him.

Regarding S.Iyer, how he fares today could well be indicative of his future in the Test team (at least for now). It was disappointing to see Gill fail in both innings as well. He looked promising in the 1st innings. Vihari I think did an okay job. He didn't get the runs but he was able to occupy the crease.

Good to see Pujara get a well deserved 50. If he manages get a hundred tomorrow, I think India might well come out winning the series. Pant may get out at any time. You take what you get with him.

Honestly, the Indian batting has been in doldrums since the infamous Aussies tour of 2020. We have had that odd spark that stood out alongside the likes of Pant, Jadeja and Shardul. By odd sparks ,I mean- Rahane, Rohit and Pujara holding fort at times.

I shall once again bring up the burning question- What is the effing role of Vikram Rathour here? Ever since the man has taken over, our batting has been in shambles The only positive being that the tailenders have stood their ground and have often led us to respectable totals.

You talk here of Iyer and Gill- I'd rather give them a longer run, seeing as they are the future and ought to be persisted with Agreed, their batting doesnt essay flamboyance at the moment, but neither do Virat, Rohit, etc.

This is England's game. Our batters failed to score more runs in the 2nd innings too especially Vihari, Kohli and Iyer.
 
170 needed with 7 wickets in hand - Root and Bairstow smashing us with Billings and Captain Stokes yet to come in

This is done and dusted

Anything less than 425 was not going to be enough for this English team in these conditions. Bazball is here to stay from the looks of it

Ashwin over Shardul might have made things different here I feel. Atleast he would have held up one end and dried up the runs. Our bowlers seem clueless now
 
Stupid Kohli should be dropped.
