MechEng Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) This series is a good lesson for gora teams from SENA countries to cultivate their spin talent, fast bowlers are awesome but they alone cannot get the job done. Edited July 30, 2023 by MechEng
wazza Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 This pitch proves when pitch is flat its on batsmen to bat well. Not bowlers. India lost the wtc due to inept batting on docile tracks lawl. Bowling selection was a mistake but then having dravball as coach and ro as captain only seems to further inhibit the team anyway. So it's a lost cause before the game even started.

Not enough to get a result. Eng's weather is one of the worst regardless of which season it is. 2 out of 5 tests literally being washed out is embarrassing for Ashes in particular and test cricket in general. They should make it a 8 tests long Ashes especially in England with 50 members/squad Frustrated 1

But you forgot one thing in your hypothetical, need an odd number of matches to get a winner so 9 tests it is. Hooray for the spirit of cricket.
GeeGaw Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 To me, one of the most annoying aspects of "Bazball" is how they want to try to change the ball every 10 to 15 overs. Hey fucbois, there's rules about that.
Nikhil_cric Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Changed the ball last night and, wow, what a bowling attack.

Nikhil_cric Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Lol. Look at the zip this much newer ball is offering. They did this against us last year as well. This will especially benefit that trundler Woakes.
SM2907 Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 It will be so pleasing to see Australia lift the Ashes
Nikola Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 How many times crawley and duckett batted under overcast conditions in series? Almost never.

Nikhil_cric Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 I hope the dunderheads at BCCI understand what England are doing and make sure that England don't get what they want in terms of changing the ball etc. when they tour .
Sandz Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 No rain till late afternoon, it might be over by then.
