Tooj 17 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I see Saqlain isn't coaching the spinners at the moment, he's returning for the ODIs though. Seems a baffling decision, especially when Rashid had improved so much before this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19847 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Another premature 69 itt. we could still end up jizzing into each other's mouths. we're still 250 runs ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34708 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 You'll never last another 250 runs. I've heard DK's mouth is mighty purty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I hate the Kohli hype. He's unbelievable don't get me wrong, but the commentators treat him like he's the best to have ever played the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 He's unbelievable in these conditions certainly. Didn't do much over here though did he? Australian commentators seem to go just as overboard on Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I reckon the next time he's over here he'll do a lot better like. Much better at leaving outside of his off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19847 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 His average for the calendar year is unbelievable. They were just saying on TMS that he's scored more runs than Root, his nearest rival, in something like 12 fewer innings. He hasn't done it in all conditions yet but it's probably just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Which idiots said 400 was a good score? Didn't see any of Indias batting this morning but regardless of any arguments about our selection, going off yesterday alone, they've batted really well and Ashwin and Jadeja were just miles better than our spinners.

Dr Gloom 19847 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 England's knack of throwing away games is unparalleled. Is there a poorer team in world cricket at wrapping up the lower order? Though you have to say that's a quality knock from Kohli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19847 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Couldn't even make them bat again ffs. Time for Cook to step aside and concentrate on his batting perhaps. Not that a different captain would have had a much bigger impact on the series. Faults lie with the selectors and the personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30495 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think he may well step down and I think it would probably see his batting improve. You can totally understand why he'd want to ease some of the pressure on himself and go back to just being an ordinary member of the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19847 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 arguably could be the answer at 3. open with with three openers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30495 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 arguably could be the answer at 3. open with with three openers. I think they'll go with Jennings at 3 next summer. Problem is in predicting the team after this series is there's ages between the final test in India and the next one so loads can happen in terms of form, etc. between now and then (next July iirc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Good hundred from Moeen considering how scratchy he looked before lunch. Poor dismissal for Jennings. Hopefully he can learn from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
