India Tour of England, June-Sept 2014

[fineleg]

LOL. India have always gotten their behinds handed to them by tailend batsmen. Whats new? Been the same case for Ind bowlers against different countries! Though this 10 wicket partnership of Root and Clouderson was epic :fail: Dhoni will offer his reasons :)

Move it to Cricket Talk, vvs.

Stop gap bowler who could prize out a wicket or two and bowl economically and a batsmen who was expected to score 30 runs. Failed with the bat and not needed as a bowler as other seamers were doing a good job. Perhaps if there was a big partnership in the middle' date=' he could have been asked to bowl a few more overs.[/quote'] You perhaps missed watching the 8th and 10th wicket partnerships between Root and Broad and Root and Anderson, maybe they weren't big enough for you?

[flamy]

So, why isn't there quality control on umpires? How is it either team's fault?

[gaurav92]

This Test will be a dull draw :(

[jf1gp_1]

England let our 10-11 to score 50+ we out did them and let 11 score 81. Both have part timers in the name of bowlers. Neither team deserves to win this test. If it were upto me i wouldnt have recorded this game as a draw i would void this test, no record that such a crappy test ever happened.

[GautiMaan]

Make him captain already!

[Cricket_Hacker]

get the quickest bowler in india(aaron,yadav) and try to blast the tail. Dont expect to get them out with 130 kmph thunderbolts

[BeautifulGame]

ATM its better to replace Binny with Ashwin as eng has 6 LHB in their line up. Also if we play 4 seamers ideally Aaron should play as he has the pace to knock off tail enders. Our bowling to tail enders has become a joke

[Pagalpanti]

Glad at least they are acknowledging their deficiency

[putrevus]

"Yes, I'm disappointed with the way I got out. I could have batted more responsibly given that the end of play was close by and we had just lost Murali Vijay before that. But the ball bounced a little more and I couldn't control it enough. I couldn't capitalise on the pitch we have here," he added. When last time any indian player accepted responsibility , it is always one excuse after another excuse. Well done Pujara.keep it up.

[keith]

Umpiring has been crap ... as have been England ... and India ... and the pitch ... total crap match :haha:

pretty much. Worst test match I've watched in a long time. We've been spoilt by some great series recently but if this is going to be 5 matches at this standard I'm tuning out.

[StriKe]

England winning this. Mark my words.

Marked.

[JaiRamesh2]

More than Kohli, Pujara should be made Test captain, ASAP. Though even I would not mind even if it is Kohli. But just sack the dimwit Dhoni.

[NareshK]

I hope Pujara and Kohli are learning a lot because they will be captain and vice captain very soon. Captaining a test side is very tough and demanding and nothing like captaining an ODI side like Captain Cool is finding out.

[Cricket_Hacker]

Not if we play positively and build a decent lead
