I don't worship anyone ... the fanboys of the "legend" attempt to put down others including Pujara, who imo is the most impactful test batsman for Ind since 1990

Man we are talking about India XI here not Gujju XI

[RAZPOR]

lol absolutely shambolic 3 4 5, we need a change in the middle order.

[vvvslaxman]

Most useless middle order at home. 

 

[VT87]

Well deserved wicket  ,he was toying with Rahane and now India is on dire state.

[SK_IH]

So far both innings have had very similar script. England were 78-4, India 80-4. I hope it remains so & India atleast match England's score.

look at dan lawrence's shirt.

they have been taking good care of the ball.

Maybe but there was an article on Cricket Monthly about how England got more reverse swing than any other team since the turn of the millennium. Its amazing how no English cricketer seems to have been caught in that period though.

Thanks for pointing out, wasn't discounting Lara by any means.

 

Just pointing out that Sachin had a longer and rarer late career peak than any other batsmen in history, which eventually made him reach close to 16000 runs. That too after completely been written off. I remember that 'ENDULKAR' front page ToI headline back in 2005.

 

One of the reasons is that he played for Ind where he could do anything  ... Long before he retired, I had predicted (anticipating how he thinks) that he will not retire before 200 tests no matter what 

[vvvslaxman]

Gill should bat down.

[Norman]

Right on the stroke of lunch.

[AuxiliA]

Now all upto the 'Tried Tested & Failed' opener to save our asses, again.

As predicted its the (lack of) middle order stupid.

 

And playing friends with benefits Ishant Sharma.

Kohli's is finished as a cricketer and his tactical mindset is a joke.

 

Everything he does now just ruins Indian cricket.

 

I actually think his wife weakened him as an Alpha male he once was. Now he is a bloody SIMP.

 

If Kohli even made a 30, it would have helped India a lot. Thats how low he has reached.

[Reddysaab]

that was a pointless shot by rahane WTF

they did have two extra proper bats.

So unless rohit goes big,we are in for some pain.

Pitch had no demons ,some very inept batting form our 3 4 5 ,and not to forget gill.

[Stan AF]

If not for Rohit Sharma, we would be 0-3 in this series now.

I understand why Ishant played his 100th at home last match that was wrong but at least I can see why.

 

His selection this match, was stupid.

 

I dont follow IPL, but Kohli should be even dumped captaining that team as well.

[Nikhil_cric]

Predictable. Inevitable. Sad. The story of "Jinks" since 2016. The one time he looks decent against spinners, he gets out to seam.
