Quite happy I had a nibble up thread when the Indian win was pretty long odds

Doesn’t seem a really good idea to bowl short and aggressively at the opposition’s opening bowlers and getting them angry while also not threatening the stumps, but then I’m not England captain

It’s the classic “he started it miss” trap, we’re wasting the relatively new ball. They average single figures for a reason, bowl better lads

Will we even try to go for this?

And fast.

Think this is over

Probably might have been worth chucking the ball to our best ever bowler a bit earlier, maybe

Root intentionally shelling a catch to cut down on how many overs we need to bat to save the game.

Very astute

They genuinely might declare after lunch

There’s been lots of comparisons to the 90s side, and this was another of the key traits which made them such a cluster fuck of a team.
The complete inability to think through knocking over a tail.

Also another thing that we lose with stokes out of the team.

And he probably takes the root drop at slip

Cowardly from Kohli this, why are they still batting?

  • Comfortable draw
  • Light assisted squeaky draw
  • India win
  • England go for it and knock them off lol

And as the players walk off for lunch, you’d have to say it’s been England’s session!
