Malinga the Swinga Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thought I would bump this back up again. India just smashed England with a final day demolition of batting that would embarrass a primary school team. Joe Root looks crestfallen, but without him, England would be a bigger mess. Can't see how England win Ashes on Australia with the team they have. Apart from Root, Anderson & possibly Butler, the rest simply aren't good enough.

Watched pretty much every ball today as errrm WFH. Anyway, this is what Test Cricket is all about. England were huge favourites this morning but a brilliant display from India's tail combined with inept captaincy from Joe Root brought an incredible win for India. Not sure if Ben Stokes will be back for The Ashes, but if he isn't, England are in serious bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing wrong with pitch. Atrocious batting against admittedly two high quality bowling attacks. England's play yesterday in last hour was one of worse collapses though, with most getting out to ridiculous shots. Root, Stokes and Bairstow gave wickets away chasing balls that were nowhere near wicket. Looked like they cemented feet into ground as no footwork and lazy waft of bat. Will be interesting if NZ set over 250 to win, as England seem incapable of grinding out innings and just go into 20/20 mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 England should cruise to victory. Sadly, it will be reported as fantastic win when in reality, it's papering over massive cracks in set up. Without Root and Stokes, they have nothing in batting and reliance on Jimmy and Broad still obvious. Broad is getting more dislikeable as he gets older with his stupid behaviour while Jimmy just gets on with job and no histrionics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobboM Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 No drama this morning England knocking off the 60 runs before even the new ball is needed. Root reaches 100 and exactly 10,000 runs at precisely the same age (to the day) as Alistair Cook is a great one for the stattos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Colin de Grandhomme might have had the worst ever days in test cricket yesterday. New Zealand finding being No 1 hard to maintain. But it was pretty even game. It is the 3rd highest 4th innings chase at Lords in 140 years and 130 games. 10,000 runs for Joe Root. Root, Stokes and the bowlers the successes. Ollie Pope the big failure but Bairstow needs a good innings next time. Nice warm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 New Zealand only themselves to blame. Shouldn't lose a test after scoring over 500 in first innings. Credit to Bairstow and Stokes, but NZ allowed them to treat game as 1 day international and they had no idea how to put brakes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobboM Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Test cricket has been brilliant this summer. England chasing 378 to win the 5th Test (carried over from last summer as a Covid postponement) and level the series go into the final day on 259-3. Still in the balance with 119 needed to win.

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 You have to laugh at English pundits. Three months ago, Bairstow was finished and they had Stokes and Root. Now Bairstow greatest middle order batsman in world with Root and Stokes godlike. In reality, they beat a Covid affected NZ, mostly due to NZ playing a spinner who couldn't spin the ball an inch of line, and they may win against a woefully under-prepared Indian side having had benefit of all weather in the 4 days. Given they have another three home tests to work themselves into a frenzy before they go off to NZ, let's see if they have solved openers quandary, their reliance on Jimmy and Broad, who aren't same force outside England, and a shit spinner who can't cut it. They'll win tomorrow and McCullum will be greatest coach in world, at least until they lose a series and it will be back to square one.

Mikey1874 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 It's good when teams deliver. It improves the game. Yesterday India started well. Playing at a good scoring rate. But their best batsmen all got out to poor shots. I wonder with the lead they had they thought the game was won. Complacency set in. England did tell everyone they would chase any score down.

Mikey1874 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 One other thing is the number of records broken this summer. England did fastest opening Century partnership yesterday. New Zealand and India broke some records too. T20 helped transform one day cricket. Potential here using one day successes and principles to transform test cricket.

RobboM Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Absolutely amazing. England chase down 378 without India even getting to a second new ball! 4 successive 4th innings chases in excess of 250, and an England Test cricket record chase of 388-3 against India. Just outstanding Test cricket 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
