smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Interesting stuff this. If England can somehow manage a 120lead that could be enough. But the way they have lost wickets so far 33 will be an achievement. I did like Warnes suggestion of opening with Archer and Broad to have a go. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Honestly this is the most insane morning of play I've seen in a long time. Every ball looks like it'll either go for a boundary or take a wicket! Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Root is very lucky. I'm not sure he hits it before it hits the pad. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Very difficult to call but a life line Root has to take advantage of Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Stokes out the collapse will soon follow very bad session for England and only 17 runs ahead Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 66-6 ominous score only 33 ahead Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 3 wickets to go, this could be all over in just 2 days/nights! Leach with a good 6! setting a really high score to chase down.........................not! Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Pathetic collapse only 1 wicket to go and we have not get a lead of 50 yet, will require a total collapse by India to win this for England. 80-9 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 All out for the lowest score made in India, 48 runs to win and we are only in the fifth session. Too many batsmen are like headless chickens and well Bairstow has let himself down badly Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 All over what a total farce by England, worst performance ever! Far too much jobs for the boys and mates and too much rotation. Less than 2 days England no clue at all Sibley needs dropping and Bairstow Link to post Share on other sites

Less than 2 days England no clue at all Sibley needs dropping and Bairstow I understand the rotation to a degree as most of the players have been in the "Bubble" since the summer, plus there is a hell of a lot of international and domestic cricket to be played in 2021. But there were certainly a few strange selection calls in this test. I think long term Sibley is a good partner for Burns, but he needs sometime to develop on the international stage, same with Crawley too. To be fair for as long as I can remember we have always struggled in India mainly due to the pitches and the Spinners they tend to churn out, and today was a perfect example of it.
