[Cricket] India v England Test Series

[The Wizard]

This is going to be a long old day in the field.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Fifth bowler has got to be bowling more.

Is it just me who’s hearing the shot and call before Stone’s released it on screen? It’s a bit of a spoiler

No. Same, since tea. It’s really annoying

Seems to be fixed now......

Would you want to bat last on this strip ?

I’ve cracked before the pitch. £25 4-1 first Test. £100 winnings put on England Second Test 11/4.
Just put £280 on India 2/5 which will put me back where I started unless the impossible draw happens.

Wow. Very brave call.

Since lunch, the pitch has played fine, and both batting orders bat very, very deep.

I’d say the draw is very far from impossible.

Wise move, at 200-3 it's going to take an inspired few Overs to tease out the Indians for less than 400...in my book it's a draw or it's India to win, it will be India to win if these two are still in at stumps.

6-1 at present for the draw. I have a good kitty from cricket betting so can take the chance.
If we bowl them out soon it should be a low scoring match. If they get 400, 500 or 600 we’re stuffed. Stokes permitting!

I’ll cover it with £500 that Grealish throws himself on the floor today.

Blimey, just tuned in again. How come they're still 3 down ? �� Root needs to turn his own arm here.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

This pitch is going to be such a bitch to bat on later turn and bounce, looks tough tough tough

Two players both under huge pressure are playing place-saving innings, Rohit starting off in one-day mode looking for scoring shots everywhere, Rahane digging in. Fair play to them, they are establishing a match-winning score here.

The Indian's do like a good over excited compliment on everything Indian. That is the best ever play and miss ever.

There's something almost reassuring about this game going almost exactly how I would have expected it to before the series started.

England's spinners are bang average. They are slow bowlers really rather than wicket taking spin bowlers. The seamers did most of the damage in the last test and if a spinner cannot bowl sides out in India then they are not that much cop.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Oh dear, Indian tv umpire. That is outrageous.

miles out (well maybe 2mm out)

 

[Charity Shield 1910]

Oh dear, Indian tv umpire. That is outrageous.

Looked out but benefit of the doubt, there was some doubt as to if some part of the toe was behind the line. Very close, probably out but not a slam dunk. Out now anyway. What a natural player he is.

phew

 

[Sid in the Sharknado]

I don't think it's unusual for the third umpire to be a home umpire, and while I thought it was probably out I don't see how it could be given based on the replays available.

It was out all day long, the commentators said the most they could without saying it's cheating. It's the very reason in normal times we now have neutral umpires. If that was a England player he would be walking given out.
