Pujara is v good but it would seem that India are 100 or so runs shy.
Meanwhile Williamson looks like he might be doing a Kohli on Pakistan...

England thought, when playing WI, all they needed to do was turn up tbh.

they thought that the last few times and didnt win a series. also remember a few bowled out for under a 100 (under 50 once iirc)

Hell mend them then!

Geoffrey Boycott"I wasn't so thrilled with the batting, especially after the way Jimmy Anderson had bowled. I thought 300 was OK, nothing special.I thought we'd make 400 and get a decent lead. It wasn't only disappointing, it was embarrassing."

why do they have a pitch that was only fit to last a 20/20 game?

did SV mean they'll find a way to lose the series? even that has to be in doubt at this point, although they will have an extremely angry stuart broad to contend with
― imago, Friday, 25 January 2019 18:14 (five years ago) link
this is kind of glorious murder meanwhile
England win this series 2-1. My brother pointed out this morning that the lack of regard these cunts pay to the first test in every series is immoral

Some 20/20 game this is from WI.
― Wee boats wobble but they don't fall down (Tom D.), Friday, 25 January 2019 18:47 (five years ago) link
229 and counting for the 7th wicket, no. 7 batsman on the verge of a century, 150 already up for the no. 8 bat. The pitch is a ruddy disgrace.

Another comedy collapse. 8 for 60 for Roston Chase, who didn't even get a bowl in the 1st innnings!
― Wee boats wobble but they don't fall down (Tom D.), Saturday, 26 January 2019 20:33 (five years ago) link
Shane Warne's best ever Test performance was 8 for 71, a dibbly-dobbly part-time non-spinning spinner has just topped that.

The English top 6 are worse than any English side of the 90s. Roots batting has been awful since becoming captain
― Oor Neechy, Thursday, 31 January 2019 20:09 (five years ago) link
Anyone think the windies will even need to bat again in this test?
― Oor Neechy, Saturday, 2 February 2019 16:37 (five years ago) link
I think they will need to bat again, but whether they need 50, 120 or 200, we shall see...
― Neil S, Saturday, 2 February 2019 17:48 (five years ago) link
Bairstow out so probably 50. England have their problems but remember that they beat the world no. 1 side 4-1 not so long ago.
― Neil S, Saturday, 2 February 2019 17:50 (five years ago) link
they beat the odd team in the 90s too
― Oor Neechy, Saturday, 2 February 2019 17:56 (five years ago) link
beating Sri Lanka 3-0 in Sri Lanka wasn't bad either. No shame in losing overseas to what is a good WI team, and no reason for doom and gloom
― Neil S, Saturday, 2 February 2019 18:00 (five years ago) link
A good WI team? Have you told Geoffrey Boycott?
― Wee boats wobble but they don't fall down (Tom D.), Saturday, 2 February 2019 18:02 (five years ago) link
G Boycott should keep his mouth shut
― Neil S, Saturday, 2 February 2019 18:05 (five years ago) link
It seemed to have the desired effect on the WI team - though not the effect Boycott would have wanted.

the WI are not a good side but they have a better attitude. The 20/20 players fucked off.The English players just want to play like KP and they are being found out. England needs some players in the top 4 who can just dig in and lay a foundation for the flair players like Bairstow, Buttler (as keeper and at 7) and stokes.
― Oor Neechy, Saturday, 2 February 2019 20:04 (five years ago) link
Funniest thing I've seen in years.
― Wee boats wobble but they don't fall down (Tom D.), Saturday, 2 February 2019 20:31 (five years ago) link
Disappointed it took the Windies so long to knock off the runs tbh.

the collapse is on and Root looks mentally shot. Captaincy is ruining him.

Butler dropped on 0

Hetmyer had that catch all the way
― imago, Saturday, 9 February 2019 18:11 (five years ago) link
It's kinda hard to imagine Butler punishing them innit. I like him a lot and think he should be keeping and batting at 7 with Bairstow @5 but you know he's going to slash at another one soon enough.
This is a hugely important innings for Root. Captains need to be able to score big tons when the team is struggling.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 9 February 2019 18:26 (five years ago) link
And Root fails out before tea
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 9 February 2019 19:21 (five years ago) link
a good day for England. Root is just out of touch, I don't think it's the captaincy.
― Neil S, Saturday, 9 February 2019 22:02 (five years ago) link
I switched the tv off when stokes was c&b as i was feeling a bit dizzy and just found out he got a reprieve!
Why don't umpires look and give no-balls like how they did for a hundred odd years?
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 9 February 2019 22:23 (five years ago) link
it was a very close call, impossible for the on-field umpire to call I think. Stokes played really well today.
― Neil S, Saturday, 9 February 2019 22:33 (five years ago) link
wrap mark wood up in cotton wool please. Dont overbowl him. 5 over spells.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link
There's nothing quite like a fast bowler bowling at 95MPH, eh?Neil S said it watching Mitchell Johnson in Sydney a few years ago in the Ashes.
I grew up in an era when the Windies had 4 of them and a conveyor belt behind them waiting.
