England in India 2021

Will be bloody harsh on Axar when he gets dropped for Jadeja on next tour :lol:

Yeah Axar looks brilliant, there is no out for England to strike out as they did in the first test. But obviously Jadeja offers more.

This is what seperates India from the rest, no one can compete with this level of quality depth.
 
I know its hard to expect much from Archer, but this has been some awful batting.
 
Ashwin was very vocal after the last match about how the ones that don't turn do the most damage. The commentator on the stream said the shot on the very previous ball was risky because the ball could have skidded through.

Next ball, same line and length, skids through onto the stumps. Batsmen not doing their homework.
 
It's so funny that Indian fans get triggered by umpires getting criticised, they do not belong to the Indian team you know.

England have been absolutely horrendous and the umpiring has nothing to do with that but it doesn't change the fact that home umpires in these conditions is a terrible idea

Half of them are not able to work out the spin today. Pope was struggling a lot.

There seems to have been a complete crisis of confidence in their defensive techniques. Sri Lanka and the first test win were built around players batting for long periods of time. That's just gone today and everyone has looked hopeless defensively.
 
Is Bess injured? Makes zero sense to drop him after taking 19 wickets in 3 tests.

Kinda irrelevant when you’re defending 100. It may have been a talking point eventually, but right now England’s batting is costing them the test match.

Pope’s innings is one of the worst I’ve seen in Asia.
 
How the feck was that out ...cheating cnuts

commentator “good low catch” .....in other words, he wasn’t out
 
It brings back old memories of the famous England collapses of the late 80s and early 90s. It’s been bad, I mean take away crawleys innings and you e got 7 down for 40
 
Foakes should be promoted in next innings. Playing spin the best in last three innings. Ollie Pope looked very uncomfortable.
