[Cricket] Test Series- England in India- January & February 2024

.
40 odd years ago it was TMS under the covers before the paper round at 6.30. Such luxury now.

Yes, I hadn't spotted that, it is quite a bit.
In Hyderabad they let in a lot of schoolchildren and students in free. I think in Visakhapatnam that there was a local rumour that they would be doing the same, and when the authorities didn't allow it a few of them decided they would still watch the game.

Interestingly, the fake shirts being sold outside the ground were being sold for 200 rupees (£1.87). So, my 5 & 2 yr old grandkids will be running around in Rohit and Virat shirts when I get back.

If it means they fall in love with Test cricket then they could wear an Aussie shirt with Smith on the back for all I care.

Jimmy is a freak. He is 41 ffs.

15 more test wickets, and he equals Shane Warne for 2nd highest ever. Can he make it?

I think they are reducing his workload further. So he'll probably get there when he reaches 48.

What are you having for lunch ? Do you have street food sellers at the ground ?

Not Warner though, surely?

 

[Pevenseagull]

These are a good game of cricket.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Really enjoying this series. Get up, tea, cricket. Then Palarse. Saturdays don't get much better.

Well at least we all know who's to blame.

There's absolutely no way Pope's going to match the 196 he scored in his last innings.

Crawley showing why you should not just slog because one can bring two. It was such a poor shot. I am not having the excuse of “way he plays” because you can be aggressive without dumb slogs.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I wonder if it'd be worth swapping Bairstow and Root around if Root's going to be bowling as much as he has.

 

[Berty23]

And sometimes two can bring 3 quite quickly.

Hell of a delivery. The swing bowling in this match has made our selection of spin attack look a bit silly.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Some bowling that.


Oh well.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Fantastic ball that.

 

[dazzer6666]

Arse. Fabulous bowling tbf
