Kohli really is an absolute prick.

Kohli really is an absolute prick.

Saved me typing it. He got under their skin though. I wonder if that run out happens without him yapping on as he was.

 

[vegster]

I'd be all over India if I were getting anything close to even money.

Lump on, India in the ascendant.

On second day of test commentators were going on about him having his game face on ..for me he always looks as if his hemorrhoids are giving him grief

Correct.

 

[Simster]

Shittest review ever. I REALLY hope it costs them like it cost Australia at the end of that famous Stokes/Headingly test.

And now they've lost another one (which was fair enough). Bunch of tits.

 

[Eeyore]

I'm glad they have stopped trying to reverse sweep on and out leg stump. That's just nuts.

Root just a run machine... 198-3

He’s having a great summer.

Contender for SPOTY at this rate.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Fifth day ‘sell’ out

 

[Eeyore]

That was just perfect.

A confident mindset, scoreboard ticking over, and none of the mad head rushes. Bloody marvelous to watch.

This did not age well...

And once again, the run rate reduces the value of the new ball tomorrow. It's not removed, as if England don't get bowled out quickly, it will probably be taken, but it's a lot different to take it with 30 runs needed compared to 200.

Especially if you use it to bowl short at tail-enders - 30 runs is just an over's worth!

 

[Hugo Rune]

I think that was the old mentality and frankly it didn't work because we weren't good enough at doing that. Now, we just try and get the runs as quick as we possibly can because we will probably lose wickets!

I couldn’t have been more wrong! You got our tactics spot on. Total aggression rather than poking about trying to avoid losing wickets!
