Just been sensible batting, rotates strike and seeing off India’s best bowler Shami, no risks and plays with straight bat

he is an all-rounder after all

Cricket trivia of the day-Waokes is a bowling allrounder. Can't be compared to Pandya.

 

Don't forget the dot

Pandya ji jab dura wicket le le, tab who thread bhi bump jayega, batane ke liye ki Dev Saab ne 5 matches me 12 wicket le liye

 

Itne icche pace friendly wickets par

Lol.. We have become a butt of jokes really. Even Bangloldeshis are mocking us for our no. 1 ranking

These kind of results make me appreciate the ATG WI and Aus teams who won everywhere. Even the recent SA unit which was unbeaten overseas between 2006 Lanka and 2015 India. I think that legendary WI team didn't lose an overseas series for close to 2 decades , Australia massacred all teams away whilst only being challenged in India..but there was that 2004 series which they won. We have no standing compared to these legendary outfits...for all the $$$, BCCI power, cricket=religion and pool of talent available we don't have the results to show. Even Little Lanka has got more out of its limited resources compared to Giant India. We are perennial failures in this sport all things considered and I don't see us ever course correcting. Invest the same resources in Indian Hockey and we will be winning the big trophies against a much wider and stronger field.

Also brings perspective when these buggers playing IPL smashing around dead seamless kookaburra ball, that when playing elite cricket they fall short

Vijay,Pujara,Dk etc as well

We were #1 when we toured Eng in 2011. We were beaten 4-0. We had Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Sachin, Laxman, Zaheer, Harbhajan in that team. That was more humiliating than this.

Dare I say, we would do wonders in football if we invest even 1/3rd of what is invested in cricket and these cricketers.

Swanny with a very balanced opinion saying the batting conditions our batsmen played under and those that the English batsmen played under are very different. 

 

He is saying that under rain and under sun, the Lord's pitch typically plays completely differently  

It was a bad toss to lose. We don’t win important tosses..just like weather our luck is also ****.

[Gollum]

Can't believe Bairstow's luck, again almost got out twice in that Ashwin over.

That was a great team on its last legs, this is our future.

He is the only bowler in the last hour or so,who likes like creating a chance  what am I missing?

[Global.Baba]

Nevermind. Ghatiya bowling by Ashwin

[R.D forever]

Ashwin is a much better bowler than 2014 version. Treat to watch. No support though. Wish jaddu was there
