Reminder that India were 7/177 and 176 runs behind during the first innings.

It took the whole of England Bazballing together to lose that one.

Stokes does know that test cricket did exist before he and his sunnies wearing little mate showed up?

Pre-Spazball doesnt exist.

The previous 147 years of Test Cricket are null and void.

have England's last 3 tests been voided yet so that they are actually up 1-0 going into the final game?

If im reading the (England's spirit of the game) room correctly, its only the last 2 tests that are voided

Series 1-1 sounds so much better going into the final test

did India not get enough umpire's call DRS decisions in game 2 to make it void?
or does having an exciting last match override that?

 

[King-Gutho94]

Haha I am sure Sir Geoffrey has been wanting to say this for ever.

 

[Twizzle]

Boycott is the opposite of Bazball on the pitch, gave no f**ks about his run rate.

There's more

Stokes speaking like they are Ireland or Afghanistan being competitive against an established team.

 

[JJ]

All about controlling the narrative

There's more

They did absolutely nothing different to what we have done in a lot of tests over there

Win the toss and bat first on a deck which will get worse every day and score under par

Then let India score 100+ from their last 3 wickets

Then crumble in their 2nd innings

Bazball my ass ,they are copying the aussie blueprint..

Not to mention they have been given much better pitches than we have the last two Indian tours. A number of key Indian players missing too.

And the Aussies have scrapped a draw from there past 2 indian test tours and its finished 2-1 after 4 tests.

I reckon 2017 was the best opportunity we may ever have to winning a series over there since 2004.

We won the 1st test on that dustbowl in Pune when SOK took 12fa.

We had India on the rack in the 2nd test a decent first innings lead of close to 100 but let it slip. Chasing 180 odd to win we got rolled for 120 odd.

3rd Test we toughed out a draw batting the whole final day to save a test.

Then the last test on a nice deck in Dharamshala without Kohli we just should have scored 400-500 but blew it batting first. Even though Smudge got another 100.

occasionally to the point where it was detrimental to his team though
