Great to hear a proper crowd again.

I’ve been quite confused by the crowd. I’m sure this is the same venue as the test last week and unless I’m losing it that was behind closed doors?

I am not sure. Was surprised to see them there this morning as well.

it is the same venue. India had said before the series that from the second test they may be allowed to let some fans in (around 3000ish they said at the time).

Unless Mo does something pretty special from here, I think his days will be numbered with England.

Side note:

"Bat. Bowl. Detol." has to be one of the shittest advertising slogans I've ever seen.

Anyway, as you were chaps.

Bit odd really. There’s only been 3 days between tests.

you’d think so. backed themselves into a corner though - drop him after this game and he’s finished, yet they’ve been hell bent to hang on to him for a couple of years. Bess won’t magically have improved from not playing, so odd to bring him straight back.

yea, not sure the reasonings. just read that it’s apparently a 50% crowd in. seems strange and wonderful at the same time!

Root should bowl more especially in the first innings as a containing bowler seems to have best control of our spinners

 

[rightwayup]

That looked out to me. Great wicket keeping.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Fuck VAR

 

[dondo]

But of a homer decision that, looked out to me

 

[Wsussexspur]

Finally A wicket!

Really great knock from Rohit!

that was out. unbelievable.

 

[midoshairband]

Kholi’s dad is on VAR.

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Shocked that India ever come close to losing a home test.

Ask for a decision of hitting glove after the pad and not even looked at. They should have walked off.

 

[Wsussexspur]

justice! After the farcical umpiring in the last over

 

[dondo]

That’s a disgrace either massive incompetence or cheating.
Bowled him only way to get a wicket in India

 

[midoshairband]

fair play, chucked it away because he knew it was out ?

 

[rightwayup]

I think you can even hear the technician telling the 3rd umpire say that was not what the umpire asked for. Not a good look!
