Forward Defence Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 This is shaping up into quite an exciting contest. Feel like a final Holder vs Stokes contest will decide the fate of the match. Blackwood and Chase are doing well so far. Link to comment

maniac Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 This Blackwood is a good player. Did any one ever predict he would be a good player? Link to comment
LordPrabhzy Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Why is it teams like Pak, SL and WI can compete and provide good test matches in English conditions compared to our overhyped test stars who cannot survive a swinging ball?? nevada and Norman 1 1 Link to comment
sandeep Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Blackwood's shitty batting has given me so much joy this innings. Link to comment

Our lower middle order hasn't contributed enough. Rahane did very little and Pandya isn't quite the finished allrounder yet. Karthik let us down big time in Edgbaston. Ashwin's batting ability has deserted him. Not that our top order has done great either but you have to account for the early assistance for the seamers. Even the windies now are banking on their lower middle order Dowrich Holder Blackwood etc. We only had the one good innings by Pant and one by Jadeja. However I agree with your overall assessment. The performances of the other not so strong sides have glaringly exposed our failures. Norman 1 Link to comment

The answer to the question is in your post. Overhyped/overrated. You can gauge it from the fact that even in the supposedly finest years of Indian cricket, same old problems persists. Too much mediocrity I think. Link to comment

System keeps producing mediocre cricketers like engineers. No one stands out of the crowd anymore. Plus you have IPL which corrupts everyone. Link to comment
