^ what goes around comes around...arh this has scratched a serious itch after that debacle from Kohli.

This test match has potential to neutralise one English pace bowler for whole series. 

May be end Anderson era

Serious branfart from Cook

Good to see the little shitttt bounced out

Openers are so crucial for success of any team. Our openers till Mayank showed up were dreadful. Pujara and Kohli were always playing new ball.

[putrevus]

lol at some people blaming Kohli for England loss, when you have openers like Rahul and Vijay along with Rahane , no captain in world can overcome that and win matches.

[Adi BB]

Moeen bhai again provides them with the breakthrough 

[mishra]

Wickets nof Hope and Chase is key here

[mishra]

Ali bhai is a legend. He is getting massive turn and bounce

[mishra]

Unlike first inning, where Anderson did mist bowling, Thos inning, he hasnt bowled much. Lead 313 now

Using Curran as opening bowler is akin to using Vijay shankar as opening bowler.

[Singh bling]

Hetmyar is becoming really good batsman

[Guest]

West Indies should not underestimate England

 

Need to bowl with same intentsity in 2nd innings

[putrevus]

I have lot of respect for Ali, he may not be the best but he has improved leaps and bounds.He has outbowled Ashwin in many overseas matches.Why is Rashid playing though???

[Guest]

Stop talking crap

 

Ashwin is way better than Ali 

Go check the records

 

Ashwin has won more MOS for India than Selfish Sachin

[Nikola]

What a comeback by west indies after yesterday's performance.

[Guest]

^^ stop trolling

 

Yday performance was par. Never judge a pitch until both teams have batted

[chewy]

Last August, same situation Curran smashed his way to 50s and gave Eng decent scores and momentum

Sucks India couldn't nip him in the bud

Not enough bouncers. Indians took him lightly paid the price. He has a whole lot of weaknesses. First thing you do is block his boundary areas. Bounce the hell out of him.

[Frustrated]

LOL @ England.

 

Their 3-0 whitewash against SL (weakest SL test team of the last 20 years) was indeed delusional. And England were also lucky to have won tosses in all 3 tests.

How did we lose 1 - 4 to this team   !!

Because  we are not as aggressive as we should have,i dont the know the kind of attck we have these days we should go all out against opponents,Curran is a decent bat but we should have known he is not a top order batsman,a barrage of bouncers could have unsettled him

Remember Varun Aaron destroyed Broads ego by breaking his nose

Since that day Broad can barely bat,he has lost all his confidence while batting against pacers,you may not take wickets as much as you wish,but somehow you can unsettle a batsman by your aggression,Curran could have been dealt with same intensity but we lost the plot

Why oh why did WI lay those SC like tracks the last 15-20 years? Fast bowling is their strength, red ball spin bowling is against their nature. 

WI have 2-3 good pitches for fast bowling. Others have always been SC like even in 70s, 80s. Barbados and Jamaica are the only possible pace friendly pitches and they were like this even in 2006 and 2010 when Australia bounced us out in t20 wc.
