4th Test India v England at Ahmedabad, March 4-8 2021

[Bring back John Fifita]

Just saw the Bairstow LBW

Ball tracking is has been on the turps again.

I just saw the head on replay (normal speed only). Did they show a side on replay?

And did the ball go over the stumps,,??

Coz if it did, it’s extremely unlikely the ball would bend “up” after hitting the pad/thigh pad..

 

[Bazal]

Not sure what Pope was running down to say to Kiwi Benny there, that was plumb

 

[TheParraboy]

I'm sure ball tracking will be re-calibrated in time for the Indian innings. It's no problem really.

It actually baffles me why India were so resistant on DRS for many years...

 

[Fufu Andronez]

This capitulation on the pitch or England's batting?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

205 all out

 

[undertaker]

England crumble to be all out for 205....and that was with an extended batting lineup (with Foakes at #8).

UNLESS England can produce a miracle performance with the ball and bat well in the 2nd innings, Australia's chances of making the WTC Final have just about died in a sea of red ink.

I'm surprised England only selected one specialist fast bowler (Anderson), considering the bounce and carry Ishant Sharma got early on with the new ball.

Oh Jimmy Jimmy..

It's never the pitch. Except when India lost the first test then it was the pitch.

If pitches were decent the world over India would have Australia’s test record...

We were no chance once poms announced their lineup and stacked the batting. Their mindset was a draw I reckon. A win to present itself only if India played more utter garbage than them, which is as likely as me scoring a romantic night with Miranda Kerr

 

[Eelectrica]

Jack strikes. Pujara gone. 2/40 India.

If England can just add another 2/20, it's game on.

 

[TheParraboy]

King Kholi king duck egg

Amazing what a little bounce does

 

[simmo1]

Does Pujara score any runs against anyone except Australia? The Indian Faf.

 

[Bazal]

Haha holy f**k that LBW for Pant just now....that's out. It's just out.

 

[jargan83]

Absolutely disgraceful home town decision

 

[Eelectrica]

Absolutely disgraceful home town decision

I just watched the Johnny Bairstow dismissal again, it's barely clipping the bail - Out.
Pant. Smashing the bail, probably bending the middle stump back. Not out.

Seems legit.

 

[hineyrulz]

Roots captaincy since the Pant not out has been horrible.

 

[Bazal]

Roots captaincy since the Pant not out has been horrible.

The bowling's gone to pieces too. Pant actually hasn't done much.

They went to bits with that call

 

[Bazal]

Awful review. And he's boiled Stokes to death with 20 overs.

Lesbianism is alive and well in England

 

[hineyrulz]

They have totally underrated the batting talents of Sundar, they mustin of watched him playing against us.


He's easily looked good enough to bat top 7 or even 6 in test cricket.
