Malan's got this. You guys are unnecessarily worried.
England v India 2021 Cricket Test Series
- Thread starter TheGame
- Start date
62/5
That’s England fecked, going to be 70+ Runs behind
India have got this, Kohli bashers can stay quiet for a bit
Jadeja been saving a lot of runs in the field
I love how pessimistic both sets of fans are
and I love how each team gives both sets of fans reasons to be
I will never ever trust an English batting line up

That is a terrific shot
Pope attacking Thakur with some classy strokeplay.
Pitch is slowing down. If it goes into day 4/5, spin will come into picture.
Thakur's bowling is awful. Should have picked Ashwin.

Hate saying it but this is where you need a spinner who can put pressure from one end. Too many runs leaked here.

ExactlyAlthough I'm only pessimistic about our batters. I always back our bowlers to try and get the opposition out for something reasonable, even in this series when we're missing a lot of our first choice bowlers.
Can't believe this intruder has got through again - I know security is generally loose but you'd think they'd be able to look out for him specifically by now and get him out the ground earlier.
Kohli has just turned to Jarvo. Dot ball.
I’ve got a lot of time for Bairstow, I wrote him off from test cricket but he’s clearly put in the effort and has a real desire to play this format of the game
he’ll probably get out right now but still

Less than 10 overs for that 50 partnership.
Fortune favouring the brave, that's a few times that Pope's got an inside edge that didn't hit the stumps.
India’s bowling changes absolutely killed their momentum. Leaking far too many runs to allow England back in, could’ve had Jadeja hold up one end at least.
They clearly don't need Siraj there. Could have picked an extra batsman or spinner.
Well, Ashwin, pretty much.
Hard not to see England at least building a first innings lead from here. Set-up for a low-scoring thriller.
Dude is seeing more time on the field this tour than Ashwin
Ashwin for Siraj would’ve worked out perfectly, especially if it’s a low scoring thriller and the pitch starts deteriorating.
England will want a 50+ run lead atleast. No guarantee we get it.
Huge lead for England it seems. 150+
Huge lead for England it seems. 150+
That would take some getting from England. They've only really got 1 "top" batter left to come, and Ali's not posted a significant score in what seems an age.
Woakes and Robinson can knock it around, but so can Overton - no guarantee there.
The pitch has flattened up.
Huge lead for England it seems. 150+
Do you think England will get to 340 from 150-5? I don't think there's much chance of that.
Still right in the balance.
Huge lead for England it seems. 150+
No way. We'll do well to get a lead of 50+ from here
Another Bairscore. 37.
Nah easily will be more than that.
I hope you're right but I'll be really astonished if it's as high as 150. Ali not in good form and after him we're into 'bowlers who can bat a bit' + Anderson.
How dare you underestimate your team more than we do ours!
This is the theme of this thread.
"My team is shitter than yours"
Doubt England will get a lead, let alone one of 150 at this stage. Not far from the tail now
Huge lead for England it seems. 150+
Not sure what game you are watching.
Huge lead for England it seems. 150+
White text?
Huge lead for England it seems. 150+
Two such wild ends of the spectrum. I guess I should get on Betfair and try to find your equivalents.I now think England will get some sort of lead, but it won't be huge (30-60 odd) that's roughly where I thought we might get to at the end of last night but definitely on the upside of what it looked like this morning.
