A dodgy track might bring their

Trundlers into play. I repeat their test batting is not that bad.  It is serviceable and yet they love to blame their batters 

Their hyped phaaast bowling legacy keeps that delusion alive.

 

Lord's will be their best chance to sneak a win.  Leeds and Birmingham tend to favour batting units.

 

They should have won Centurion test vs SA in all likelihood but Bavuma voodoo so strong that it can't be denied 

Rabada's batting at the end saved the day. He went on to * them up once more in Pak last year. Always felt that he hasn't done justice to his batting.

Apparently WI board is contemplating to skip Ireland tour.  Even though their games are not in Belfast for them but Bready.

 

India tours Belfast in just 2 weeks time.  Meanwhile it is burning at the moment.  Reports of lots of attacks on Black and Brown communities after a migrant stabbing a local.

 

BCCI hopefully should be keeping an eye on this.  I suppose players won't roam freely at least.

Ireland series is uncertain now.. BCCI has requested Irish board to change the venue from Belfast.

 

All events in Ireland are getting cancelled by the minute.

Irish board is saying they will decide on the series in next 48 hours

 

Rest assured Belfast games are not happening anymore.

 

[Lone Wolf]

India should rather schedule a series vs Netherlands or Scotland if Ireland situation is not ideal to play cricket

Right wingers both inside UK and outside such as JD Vance are fanning it and egging this. The statement by Vance was despicable and you can see what will happen to Indians in US as well if Vance and Republican party have their complete say.

Surprises me and he would kick her out if she comes between his ambitions. He already made a statement earlier this year that he's disappointed that she's not "Christian"

[sage]

 

surprising stat

[cowboysfan]

Freaking Kiwis cant buy a  run and are batting like school kids but when they play us they turn into Bradman and Gavaskar.

[cowboysfan]

some rando named Baker is bowling and he is good enough for English conditions.

[Laaloo]

@Lord pussy root decided to bowl first

Not rando named man :) He has been in the news for a while. He got noticed during 100. He was bowling express deliveries. Wisden even had an interview with him. Sanjeev goenka picked him up for 95000 pounds in the 100 auction.

[vvvslaxman]

Archer strikes. That was blinder from Jacob bethell Two handed soccer style catch.

[vvvslaxman]

Archer has 61 wickets in 19 test at an average of 30 , 60 strike rate.  They keep going on and on about how he should have played more tests.

 

Meanwhile Atkinson 17 tests 76 wickets 22.5 average 36.8 SR

                   TOngue  11 tests 54 wickets 25.88 average 39.2 SR

Lol. NZ are going to get slaughtered in Australia.  That 3-0 whitewash of India looks like an extreme anomaly.

Fisher

baker

[vvvslaxman]

Josh TOngue is my favorite English bowler.
