Nikola Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 England's bowlers made sure he gets runs by bowling him on pads & also made sure he doesn't get dropped for this series. Well played england rtmohanlal, sage, kohli and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Came in to bat in 20th over, so didn't face new ball. Batted in easiest batting condition of the series, scored half century, secured his place. Left when Eng took 2nd new ball. Lord, Laaloo, anish2tweet and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) criminal to get first over of a fresh day against new ball at 90 plus Edited August 28, 2021 by vvvslaxman SK_IH 1 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just now, vvvslaxman said: 18 wickets lost for 140 odd runs. Made some easy runs late in the evening y day. And even those runs were just half centuries. Link to comment
Vijy Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 quite a pointless innings. had he converted it to 150+, that would have been somewhat different. SK_IH and Gollum 2 Link to comment

He averages 30 in England. He is only 3 points better than Rahane. That is not saying much. He averages less than Ajit Agarkar in England. Infact all 3. MS Dhoni averages more than these 3 in England lol Link to comment

MS Dhoni averages more than these 3 in England lol dhongi was quite effective in eng, and so was ganguly and azhar. that's because one needs diff skills to play swing/seam (but not much pace) vs. pace and bounce (as in Oz/SA/90s WI).

anish2tweet Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Well the likes of Pujara , Rahane & Lohli have screwed with us for long time... ... Its time for next generation to take over... Kohil saw the way Dhoni pushed out the big 4... we need Pant to step up and push these idiots out... Rahane has to go but don't invalidate the series wins we got in Australia. In the 90s, we didn't even come close to winning a match leave alone the series. Pujara, Rahane did their bit in away wins that we had. Sent from my CPH1819 using Tapatalk Link to comment
anish2tweet Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 SRT scored several hundreds in losing cause. One man cannot save a game. All the batters have to step up including Kohli, Pant and Jadeja. That is only way we can save this match. But I agree that Pujara and Kohli both need to score big tomorrow or this match will be over.Jaddu has scores of 50,40,30 with the tail. He doesn't have to step up, he has bat up in the order at no. 5Sent from my CPH1819 using Tapatalk Link to comment
anish2tweet Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 can't even get an ' exact 100' . Killing all the team momentum, occupying another deserving player's spot there by causing serious troubles to team cause .... that's all this guy is about... for instance had Ashwin been here in this match ENG would never have scored 463Everyone is the same. There is no one waiting in the wings to win series for us. Sent from my CPH1819 using Tapatalk Link to comment

Sent from my CPH1819 using Tapatalk no .... at least with out testing every one you can't say that ......especially based on the fact that India has a history of creating quality batsmen out of a huge talent pool . In the past decade Gambhir, Sehwag,Dravid, SRT, Ganguly, VVS, Dhoni formed the core of this batting line up.It is a disgrace to the system which could put such a quality TOP 7 that batsmen like pujara,rohit,rahane etc are comprising the current TOP7 Link to comment

Throwback to the 90's. nope, not a throwback to the same degree. we had lots of players who played spin beautifully in 90s. Sidhu, Kambli, Fixer-bhai (Azhar), VVS, and SRT just to name a few. Even Sanju Manju was quite adept. this current bunch can't play swing/seam well and can't play spin well. in the 90s, plenty of batters did quite well in eng - SRT, Azhar, Ganguly, and Dravid.

The INTENT with which he played was just totally different to the one we have been witnessing in the last year or so. Rahane should be dropped, this idiotic vice captain moniker is saving him.

Here is the problem, we need to move on all three of Kohli, Pujara and Rahane. Kohli is immovable object, so that leaves just Pujara and Rahane. Rahane being vc makes it harder, so Pujara needs to go. Lets not forget while he got 91, he basically got out for zero when he came out to bat in the opening session with the new ball. This is again likely to happen in the 4th. His 91 was a result of the good opening stand of Hitman and KL that took up many balls. Cricspin 1 Link to comment
