What on earth was Baristow doing first ball? I mean the next ball wasn't great either, but you've just lost a wicket. I know I'll have a sweep ?

 

[Swiss Tony]

I can half see Bairstows thinking, the point being if you stand back on this track your dead,23 wickets down and still no tea insight on 2nd day,part time bowler takes 5 wkts,i love spin as much as the next person but this all to much.

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Makes the Taunton pitch look like a batting wicket ?

I completely agree, the pitch is a dust bowl!

Hopes are all on Pope now.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

This is a better pitch than the last test and a better pitch than Taunton.

 

[Taunton_Shrimper]

cant believe what I'm watching really, meant to be a fair-ish contest between bat and ball.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Spent ultra millions on a sparkling new stadium but forgot the square or did they?

 

[Cockle43]

Haven't watched much but a stat I just heard at the end of the England second innings was that 127 runs had been scored in the day but 17 wickets had fallen, an average of 7.47. Doesn't, on the face of it, look like a balanced test between bat and ball...

Another stat I've just seen:-

"If India score the 49 they need in under 12.4 overs (including the two already bowled), this will be the shortest completed Test since the Second World War."

I would be a bit peed if I'd travelled 18 hours and spent thousands to watch that tripe.

 

[The Big Dady]

The Indian Cricket Board have prepared a new Cricket pitch for their next test against England after complaints about the recent very dry and dusty red clay pitch at the new Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

The ICB have now confirmed a new pitch has now been prepared for the next test which is now being heavily watered.

 

[cerbera45]

a special mention for young Dan Lawrence scoring 46 in England's meagre total of 205 all out

England Fighting back well this morning, ? we are not out of it yet.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Whilst Channel 4 coverage of this Test series has been mostly spot on,can they not see Swans persistent me myself i behaviour is starting to grind a little,yes we know he was a great spin bowler but stop making love to yourself in front of the microphone for Gawd sake and concentrate on the match,rant over.

I agree - If you didnt know Swann, you'd think from the way he talked/commentated he got 10,000 test runs batting at 3, was better than collingwood in the field whilst being the best spin bowler in the world.

Ricky Pant has taken the game away from England. Take a bow young man.

And this is the guy who bailed out and announced his retirement from test cricket half way through a battering down under

I bumped into a certain Mr Swann in a hotel breakfast room on an overseas tour

 

[Ricky Otto]

Just seen that Eoin Morgan wants turning pitches in this t20 series so we can get a bit of practice before the world cup. Great captain and once again he has his eyes on the prize

Got great batting talent in Hales & Malan vying to get into the side.
