[redoubtable seagull]

An innings defeat on the cards.

Innings defeat in the post. Our top three are an absolute shambles.

Was that Kholi softening up Root there ?

We just need a 200+ run partnership for the 5th wicket and we are right back in this [emoji106]

 

[vegster]

Time for India to use a Longstop?

Just over 20 overs in, and with a handful of minor leg-byes, Extras has already contributed as much as Crawley, Sibley, Bairstow and Stokes combined...

There goes another....

Pope was actually looking ok but that's done it now. Start the car.

Great keeping from Pant though

Not sure why he felt it necessary to charge down the wicket given the situation.

No worse than Stokes lapping it gently to an obvious fielder.

We just can't play spin properly.

Desperately, desperately poor.......what a shitshow.

 

[golddene]

Maybe we will have better performances in the remaining 8 short form matches left on this tour ?

Another humiliating defeat imminent but we have to accept they have been the much superior team in this series. Hopefully some redemption can be had later in the summer.

 

[Zebedee]

Why don't they just pack their bags and piss off back home. The team are nothing short of a national embarrassment.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Whilst this is a total shitshow you have to accept that this India team is incredibly strong on home turf. Would also argue that the squad is touring in a bubble away from home and are missing their game changing batsman in Jos Buttler.

But yeah, shitshow

 

[CHAPPERS]

Ps game would have been different if Pant hadn’t got away with one when Bess had him trapped in front.

Sadly the Indians are excellent at the short format of the game too!

Glad to see the NSC crickarati have stopped whinging about cheating foreigners, bad pitches and biased commentators and finally had to admit that (in these conditions at least) India are just far far better than England.

Better cricketers, better athletes and (irrelevant but true nonetheless) better looking.

The positive way to look at it is that based on Mills' theory of utilitarianism this is a good outcome.
Hope that helps ease the pain.

Too many one day specialists in this test team, mentally weak without the required patience for red ball. Selectors should be asked questions but nothing will happen as it’s a cosy boys club closed shop. Fecking Bairstow should be nowhere near a 5 dayer in India let alone at number 3, your honour I rest my case.

If we could just make them bat again and get Kohli out for another duck I'll take that as a win.
