SK_IH Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Really disappointed with Virat. Although he was par excellence with bat in the 1st test but how the things have completely unravelled has been shocking.The two day defeat was reminiscent of the despair and gutlessness of the previous tours Poor team selection and lack of preparation has been clear and it betrays all fake bluster Virat shows about his seriousness regarding test matches.As Gavaskar rightly said in one of his article, Virat might not be needing all the practice but others do. This was a golden oppurtunity to demolish Eng and once gain everything has gone down the drain. What is particularly irritaing is its not been Root and Cook who have done the damage with the bat but its been the ensemble cast of batting lineup that we have been unable to restrict. Batting looks under prepared and apparently looks lost .Bowelrs cant be relied upon to seize the initiative and captaincy has been same old mundane, defensive follow the ball type. All in all, 5-0 is imminent, however some changes are bound to happen but i dont see many happening with kind of backup selected.I hope all the experts and analysts who overrate this Ind side , dont tag them as favourites for the Aus tour later in the year, this mediocre team cannot starts as favorites any where outside Asia.

nevada Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Can't remember a bigger flop show than this in recent memory. It is as if the entire team is a bunch of imposters or under some sorceror's spell. Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Switchblade Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Fun and Giggle se team ki yad agai the way they were giggling laughing shamelessly whether Ct 2017 finals or Lords ODI or even yesterday some people in the balcony were smiling. SK_IH, RAZPOR, Adi BB and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Brainfade Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I'll be honest - I think subconsciously it irritates me a great deal that Pakistan won a match there recently, and India is laying eggs. That's why it was so important, from a fan-ego perspective, to win at Edgbaston when the chance was there. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

They gave away the momentum right there so now it’s going to be difficult to win the series or even hoping to play for a draw. Link to comment

Infact we did lot of homework before landing in Africa like a home series on green tops against Sri Lanka. In England, All our strike bowlers are still injured despite half of the series is over. And offcourse, Kohli is busy doing what he does best, Mixing with his fnds and family Edited August 13, 2018 by mishra Switchblade 1 Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 What pains me is that this England side isn't great from any side..Cook is struggling,Root has conversion problems, there is always someone debuting for England for Opening and middle order spot and still We found a way to get rolled over by this side.

Exactly ,it really pains to lose to this average English side . they've been beaten in at least 1 test in every home series since 2014 except against srl in 2017. 0-1 against srl 2014 1-1 against nzl 2015,3-2 against aus 2015 2-2 against pak 2016 2-1 against Windies 2017 ,3-1 against saf 2017 Switchblade 1 Link to comment

No he asked Shami not to fight with a Pakistani spectator who was asking Baap kaun hai?Shami was going towards him until MS stopped him but that supporter was beaten outside the stadium by Indian fans I believe.
