3rd Test: India v England @ Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot Feb 15-19, 2024

[King-Gutho94]

I think he will retire well before then, its almost two years away. Tap on the shoulder

I suspect if fit, Archer and Wood will be their pace opening attack

Ollie Robinson most likely there if he pulls his finger out and keeps his mouth shut, plus Woakes??

They got a paceman Atkinson on this Indian tour yet to debut, probably grooming him to be in the 11 at some point soon

Archer won't play another test.

England have given up on him.

Archer won't play another test.

England have given up on him.

Probably fair given he's given up on them too. Rather play second grade back in the Windies

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bazball should actually be called Duckettball before that weird looking midget is the key to how their innings go. If his slogging pays off England look great.

0/79 off 12, Ugly Dwarf 58 off 46.

The Great Duckett hundred for the ages

Parramatta taught him everything he knows.

Ben Duckett who has played four Tests and three ODIs, was sent by Northamptonshire to play for Parramatta in 2014-15.

The English invasion of Sydney Grade Cricket

Englishmen have been coming to play Grade Cricket in Sydney since at least Test opener, John Dewes, played for Northern District in 1958 through to Barry Knight, Geoffrey Boycott and Tony Greig. What follows is a survey of the current English county cricketers who have spent time in 1st grade in...

Root out reverse sweeping again. Bazball is a mind virus.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Fatstow out for a duck and decides to review a ball smashing into the middle stump.

Bazball has been good for England, poor for Root… it’s bizarre that he’s choosing to go down in a blaze of scoops and reverse sweeps…. He isn’t forced to…

What used to be called a collapse has now been rebranded a moral victory.

If it really is the 9th time in 13 matches dismissed this way, Root needs to recall Tropic Thunder… “never go full genius…”

Poor for Root?

His average under Bazball/Stokes is better than his overall average

 

[AlwaysGreen]

England a scintillating 316 behind with India 1/190 in their 2nd innings

 

[King-Gutho94]

Sounds like Boozeball is going wonders.

They had India on the rack before play and pissed it away with stupidity.

Give your wizened old head a massive wobble. It was scintillating.

Lol @ the dwarf:

"England opener Ben Duckett, speaking to BBC Sport: "They bowled really well. Maybe their plans were a bit clearer and things were tough. Whatever the situation is, we'll try to throw punches back at them. I thought they batted superbly.

On Root's dismissal: "He's earned the right to do that. He has played that shot so well."

On what England can chase: "The more the better. This team is all about doing special things and creating history. They can have as many as they want and we'll go and get them."

 

[Eelectrica]

England wanting to chase those easy high totals.
Not sure they'll be getting the Bazboost points in this one though.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

That’s Fisher King level of delusion.
