There will be a fourth innings.
Trying to recall when a test match finished in 2 days - Recall many 3 day matches
Hard to see why we went with 3 seamers when almost 100% all wickets gone to spin - And why we have such a poor tail
Just had a message from a friend who is a big cricket fan - He said that had I noticed that when we bat, the umpires tend to give any LBW appeal as out, then up to us to refer and as we know that if it is only just hitting, the original decision stands - Yet when India bat they are not giving the same decision as such we refer and a marginal 'hitting' will not be out - Anyone else go with this
It's a funny old game.
Not always like this though....
-I still think day-night Tests are a shitty gimmick and need to end.
-The measure of how crap this wicket is is that we have two of the best quick bowlers in the world on display and they're bowled 11 overs between them in a 5-day game.
-Some people are claiming the bounce was true. Sure. If you discount the fact that you have balls rising to Pant and then going to him on the bounce from the very first over of the match. Might even recall Root getting one that popped into the gloves and needed some spray too.
-Now people are talking of us needing to play on wickets like that at county level. Good luck producing them in a climate and schedule like ours. We shouldn't produce tracks that turn like that from day 1. Give that to spin bowlers and you'll get all sorts of crap taking wickets for fun (like in Windies domestic cricket) and the batsmen suffer. It's the balanced approach that is needed.
There have been some discussion of a lot of the dismissals all being to straight balls which didn't spin.
Aside from the pitch being a poor one, a lot of the batting technique was unsatisfactory for both teams. 21/30 wickets were from straight balls.
England were crap, but by producing a pitch that negated pretty much any batting talent and all pace bowling, and means the game is over with 3.5 days of play still left is ludicrous and should result in a big fine.
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you- England lasted 476 balls across two innings - the fifth fewest in their Test history.
- England scored less than 200 runs in the game for only the seventh time, and the third since 1904.
- It is the eighth two-day Test since World War Two and England's first defeat inside two days since 1921
- India completed the quickest Test win since 1935 not long into the final session.
