1st Test India v England at Chennai, Feb 5-9 2021

[AlwaysGreen]

I think it’s fair to say we softened India up for the poms

 

[edabomb]

If only the Indians had as much fight as their umpires.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

LMAO Pommy plodders making us look balder than ever before with this performance

 

[Bazal]

Can't help but think the Poms would be chilling in the hotel bar by now if they'd enforced the follow on

 

[hineyrulz]

Paine should of said I can’t wait to get you to Chennai.


This Performance by the Poms
makes this summers efforts all the more embarrassing.

Dunno, but people here seem to forget that tests last 5 days...

hairless... quite the look

We were poor the whole match bar a few sessions in that first test as well.


We were absolute Dogshit.

Jack Leach is playing like he has hair

 

[AlwaysGreen]

India beaten by a bald man, makes you wonder if Lyon is one of those fake bald men out for sympathy and free head wax.

Jack Leach > G.O.A.T

100% agree with you.

Before that opening session on day 3 where Hazlewood and Cummins were unplayable, Australia would've been in real deep poop if the Indians didn't drop Labuschagne and Paine multiple times during the previous day.

Also if Rahane doesn't run Kohli out leading to a collapse who knows how many they make in that first innings.
Guess these things kind of balance out where in Sydney we couldn't catch a damn thing. Paine making us wish for the days of Wadey.

Well done England. Game one done. Had they forced the follow on or declared when Warney said they'd have got the bash point and been up 5-0 in this series.
Warney knows all.

 

[Eelectrica]

We just need England to win one more, but no more and I think we're in. Something like that.

makes a mockery of this championship if we make the final

Absolutely.

I couldn't believe some of the tripe being served up on here after days 1 & 2.

I think a good few years of adoration for broad levers - namely the likes of Maxwell, MMarsh, and Stoinis - has corrupted the minds of a few astute cricket minds around here.

For example, all the knocks on Pujara who has played crucial roles in b2b series wins down under. The bloke has a better career test S/R than Aussie cult hero and legend David Boon ftr.

Anyway, one of England's great test wins. Very proud of that effort.

Jack Leach >> Lyon & all the LU baldies, including myself.

Ok ok, I'll shut up now @AlwaysGreen

Excellent info. I didn't even know NZ had secured their place. Much as we don't deserve it we still have a good chance. And everyone knows if we make it we'll beat NZ. In fact whoever makes it will beat NZ.

f**k off. You’d beat us, but we can beat both the others... sadly you couldn’t even beat the Indian reserves
