Just watched the highlights of the first couple of days play, what a superstar Root is.
Some very questionable decisions today in this test match.
Stumped very close. I think out.
Review where they did not watch whole incident and then England lost review. It was out!
Shocking.
Has anyone heard from mibbys aye? He’s normally a regular contributor to these threads. Hopefully everything is alright with you mate.
England 4 down for 49.
Pope and Stokes in. 100 each needed.
Curious social distancing and mask etiquette in Chennai. Limit the numbers but let people sit where they want or stick them all in the same area. Mask wearing is voluntary by the look of it with virtually no one bothering.
Great century from Ashwin
Absolutely loving being able to watch the cricket over breakfast on C4 btw.
England bamboozled by spin in the first innings of the 3rd Test after winning the toss and choosing to bat - 112 All Out. England selecting 3 pace men not looking too wise atm.
Terrible batting technique on both sides really. Don't cricketers practise playing spin any more?
Boycott and Gooch would be turning in their graves (if they were dead).
I know much is made about moaning about away Test pitches but I would imagine the groundsman wont be on the Cricket India Chairmans Christmas card list. A wicket that virtually no one could bat on and a five day Test match over in 2 days. That's a lot of refunds!! Been a very interesting watch though.
Test match cricket is about a test of skills and concentration for 5 days. This has been 2 ODIs.
It’s crazy that India only had to score 194 runs to win a test match. They can go on about the pitch as much as they like, England have been awful.
If this was Bangladesh or Sri Lanka playing so poorly you’d have people calling for them to be demoted from the elite test level.
T20 and 50 over series have been amazing. Totally top level the best two teams in the world in these formats knocking spots off each other. Great cricket.
England chasing another decent target today. I was just about to say Jason Roy looked like he might do well today......out in final ball of first over. My fault. :greengrin
What a series that was, Cricket in its short form at its best, both the 50 over game and the T20s. Well done India well done England brought me tons of entertainment in these challenging times.
i’ve had The privilege of playing against the Ship Inn on the beech a few times, mostly for the Fat Beardie *******s. Absolutely superb day out played after a massive lunch accompanied by as much wine and beer as you could want. Never quite made the original line up where selection was done by weight and facial hair and the batting order decided by a weigh in before the match.
They weren’t the most healthy bunch of “athletes” ever seen, but as time took it’s toll over the years I got the odd game as a late replacement. They all loved the good life and cricket.
Would be great to get a team of Hibees together to play the Ship Inn.
Intriguing innings for England coming up. New Zealand have a first innings lead of 85 runs which will be tricky for England. Need to bat well
