Yawn! He was merely calling out the umpiring decision in the last match, not making excuses for the defeat or being outplayed.
The same guy who called crawley decision wrong and technology failing when it was 3 reds in 2nd test and then wanted to get rid of the umpire's call and trust the technology when it didn't work in his favor in the 3rd test. So which is it, the technology doesn't work and trust the umpires or trust the technology and don't give the benefit to umpires for the margin of Error.
I'd stop watching England player interviews if I were you.
Looks plumb, another wasted drs by india.
I am going to call bs what it is as much as it may annoy the cult of bazball.
Stokes talking bollocks about DRS is just Stokes having a shit understanding of DRS. Dont stress.
Not everything is Bazball rattled related.
You are relating two different points. At no point did he make any excuse for the defeat. He simply gave his view on the decisions and umpiring, as have other players for other teams in other matches as well. Then your cult of Bazball comment just demonstrates your views. No idea why people keep getting rattled over Bazball when it’s just a made up term by the media.
Finally a bloody wicket!
Where's that's bloke who just comes in the thread and comments 'Bazball' whenever England are getting beat. That's my fave 'look how not bothered I am' one.
I am scared for india when they bring back Anderson.
We've kept on top of the scoring rate so we can still get bang on top with a few quick wickets.
Need to get Hartley on before lunch and Jaiswal out.
There’s always someone who comes up with those silly posts and it’s stupid as there has been some great cricket discussion during this season in here with both sets of fans.
Only people who believe everyone is rattled by bazball are bazballers and media that cheerleads them. I am just calling bs comments what they are, ignore all the bazball shit just imagine what people would say if these were comments made by say Cummins or Smith or kohli. People would be ridiculing them just as I am stokes, you can have an opinion on something but it can't change based on whether it helps or hinders you game to game or you will be mocked for it. You can't whine about technology one game it goes against you and then champion it because umpires didn't give you the benefit of doubt you felt you deserved.
England fans have reached rawk levels with stokes and co, they defended klopp when he was blaming the wind for losing just like you are defending the absolute nonsense England players come out and spout.
For the record I said Stokes and Duckett were both talking bollocks. Good to see you aren't rattled though, worth clarifying.
Difference in captaincy between stokes and Rohit is unbelievable, stokes has stopped any easy singles on offer to new batsmen while our man refused to bring up fielders even on the 5th or 6th ball for root with tailenders on the other end.
I think it wasn’t out.. looked like it bounced. Foakes gloves seemed to be a little behind as opposed to under.
this is a rather poor passage of play. Neither the batting nor the bowling is good.

They fairly recently removed the soft signal I think?
Probably played a big part with that catch. Previously I reckon the umpire almost certainly soft signals out. Then I don't think the third umpire would overrule it.
In the absence of soft signals, the third umpire can't conclusively say he's caught it. Which is hard to disagree with.
This was the comment i was replaying to, but nice to know non england fans aren't allowed to reply to comment unless they agree they have been rattled
I couldn't resist. I'm done now, back to the cricket!
Got to be a slight concern Hartley hasn't bowled?
Most likely stokes didn't want jaiswal to settle down early. Will be interesting how the ball plays post 40th, haven't seen the ball scoot low like it did in the english innings.
Jaiswal is becoming the new Graeme Smith for the English bowlers, you know he’s good for a century every bloody time, you just have to hope to get the 10 other players out cheaply as possible.
That's the kind of ball we were expecting to see more of. Decent quicker turn and scuttled on a little.
And England get a bit of luck with the DRS

RIP Patidar's test career.
Some people will say that the ball is going down leg but remember that the camera is at mid off and not right behind the umpire …
Had to delay my call on it, will be decided by midweek.
I am yet to see any England fans defend the comments by Duckett and Stokes is talking about decisions which any captain has the right to whether you agree with him or not. I repeat again Bazball is a term used by the media not England.
You comments around RAWK levels and England just shows you have a biased opinion and I’m not sure it’s worth an argument over it.
What a massive final session this is going to be. India's three form batsmen in or to come.
Yesterday every Lbw appeal by India was turned down by the umps and validated by DRS. Today it seems umps have come out all charged up after their limp performance yesterday.
Bashir what a spell. Game wide open.
Rohit will have to speak up about DRS after this game. All the marginal decisions have gone England's way including one non-call after India lost all its reviews.
It is a bit like refereeing in football. Klopp complains and gets a good run of decisions. Staying silent is generally a bad idea. And needing to constantly review because the umps don't give you anything will lead to wasted reviews.

Rohit waffling yesterday's post lunch session has now come back to bite us. India need to survive the next 10-15 overs with this pair.
Hindsight but think England shouldn’t have dropped Bashir last game, I am so so impressed by his control and he bowled like 40 overs in his first test too
We got the rub of the green last game they got it this time, that's the way it goes in sport.
Agree 1000%
Want to but in two minds. Most likely not. My cricket watching friends can’t join. Are you planning it?
Are we likely to be off for bad light post tea? Got no Comms.
You and @SmallCaine should get together and watch a test. Last time he wasn’t happy with India going from 36-3 to 445 all out, now you’re not happy with 109-5 to 350.
Wow there’s been a couple of heart in mouth moments for India. This could be a way worse situation for them.
