Think those overs last night has killed us as well. Should’ve had Jimmy bowling with the new ball before bringing on the spinners.Putting up a fight at least but we all knew we were about 70 runs short on the 2nd innings.
Hardest place to tour is England. Just ask any Indian cricketer.Great effort from the boys, hardest place to tour and we’ve taken them all the way in 3 out of 4 tests.
I meant for an English playerHardest place to tour is England. Just ask any Indian cricketer.
Whilst results on this tour are mirroring those of the last tour, there’s a number of positives we can take out of it. We’ve been competitive in all but one game and the spin department is now in positively rude health compared with last time.Great effort from the boys, hardest place to tour and we’ve taken them all the way in 3 out of 4 tests.
England will be touring Pakistan (3 Tests from October), the West Indies (only ODIs and T20s in November) and NZ (3 Tests from December).I don’t know who we play next winter.
I'm not sure this is the right message to send. We should be heading into the fifth test all square - and by definition very much competing against India, in India. This feels a little bit like copping out from addressing why we fall apart once every test match.
Yeh I think the first paragraph does put it in better context - the wording in the headline is subtly different to his quote in the first paragraph and makes it sound like hindsight rather than an opinion held before the series started but now disproved.The article itself gives a much greater insight into how he actually meant it. As usual the headline gives a different impression. There’s not much wrong with it.
Can we name the other 16 without google?Wood for Robinson in the only change. Bairstow becomes the 17th man to play 100 test matches for England.
Cowdrey, Thorpe, Stewart, Stokes (he reached the landmark earlier in this series)Can we name the other 16 without google?
