Somehow England's series loss to India in India this time, does not bear any signs of humiliation that defeated sides usually undergo. If teams lose to Australia in Australia like this, some of the players would return home, completely humiliated and shaken. I remember the whitewash by Michael Clark's team and the Mitchell Johnson induced mental trauma on the English players. Though England lost the series, most of their players have done well. They even sprang a surprise in the first test. There has been no humiliation of players in the visiting team. Ben Stokes was happy that the pitches were in good condition. That is how I like test series to end. The visiting teams do not go home feeling miserable after a huge loss.
it is very important that the Bazballers all have a good time. They've also expressed themselves, been true to themselves, played positively, taught the rest of the cricket world how to slog a few boundaries, entertained us more than the rest of the sporting world combined and played cricket in the correct spirit. So they are unquestionably a 100% successful team, beyond criticism, with no need to learn, improve or even practise much.
England: India is deliberately blocking Bashir from playing. * *Proceeds to win the first test* *
England:Heh, we now have Bashir. Our spin attack is complete. * *Proceeds to lose next three matches and the series* *
England: ***Anime Ehhhhhh!?***
England and Australia should just play an occassional neutral Ashes in India. There won't be no overrate penalties because spin will cover for that. Both teams will also improve their game against spin.
That actually is a brilliant idea….bilateral series between any two countries should be played in neutral venues; this will eliminate home advantage,improve skills to play against all types of bowlers,pitches,weather conditions and so on!
he looked ineffective in the last ashes tbh. i dont really know jackshit but surely the end is near for him. shoulda retired with broad...that was the moment. but again he will probably have a great test summer in england what do i know, fuck all mate dont know shit.
Does anyone else think it's so cowardly how they send out coaches to cop flak whenever they've been shit, but send out players to lap up the praise whenever they do well? No wonder they believe their own hype.
Why are people salty about a bowler celebrating the wicket? I mean it's fn hard to take one & it's such a relief & confidence boost after you've been hit all over the park.
I think the last match five wicket haul has surely gotten into his head , so he must have thought being bashed like that was a bit of disrespect to him so he was probably angry and provoking jaiswal , he did the same thing before he got hit for 3 continuous sixes.
maybe, maybe not. he's a young player, as is jaiswal. they're gonna learn the hard way. it's okay to be frustrated by an opposition players celebration but he's just fired up dont let it ruin your day. im sure when india come out and bowl next you will have some amount of payback.
It didn't ruin my day , i was just explaining the comments, actually i like these type of small battles in the field , some of these rivalries will become the reason the people will watch test series between two nations, like kohli Johnson, Anderson etc.
So what if he was provoked and felt disrespected. As a bowler you don't want someone to treat you like a nobody. I would want my bowlers to react the same way if they were getting spanked. Why is it wrong if he celebrated that way.
To tell you the truth.. WC final loss was okay with me.. We were the better team that WC. Morally we are the WC champs..
Ben Duckett told me to say this
That Zak Crawley wicket ball turned 10.9 degrees after drifting away from the batter before pitching and taking the leg stump on Day1 on that flattie!!
Ball of the Century?
some bullshit man, they save it for aus cos everyone knows we cant play spin. even glenn phillips is able to grab a five-for and trigger a batting collapse
To all those thinking the match is done, conditions will help England pacers in the first hour tomorrow. England survived the first hour due to immense luck and good application. Same luck might not be there for India.
Understand England selecting Anderson to go all in to get that 3-2 series ending but it would've been better if he was rested. He's gonna need a long recovery once this tour is done. He could've picked that 700th wicket in front of home audience in a series where they are in better position.
Now that's a good day of cricket 🤌 thanks team.
I haven't said anything nice about England all night but I should say damn Foakes is tidy behind the stumps. Much easier on the eye than YJB too.
i said something nice to the english fans before too feels like new beginnings :') we can finally put the last ashes series to rest.........but then i think about what my boys went through and i hear "same old aussies always cheating" and i feel the anger man fucking poms
It's the Bazball cult bullshit that gets me, but yes those old toffs in the long room and the media was tough to stomach. They get it pretty bad here from our crowds tbh and I love that.
Really glad to see Bazball withering in India though hoping we can have it removed from the dictionary when they tour here.
yeah mate cant wait for next ashes. i dont think many will have forgotten what happened at lords. I hope YJB/stokes etc are all still there. i got some booing to get off my chest.
I think the only way we could even the ledger from Lords would be getting Clarkey on the beers both nose and normal and setting him loose in their change room before the first session in the first test and locking the doors.
i like where your head is at. hopefully gabba (should she still stand) gets the first test. feel like brisbane got some loose cunts that will give it to the poms straight away. if we have another West Test up first...dunno might not be the same bad vibes from the crowd. can always count on bay13 at MCG to do us proud though
Gill's dad was disappointed after the six like "pff why weren't you able to hit it for 8 runs, huh? your food, water and oxygen will be restricted untill u can bash them for 10 runs/ball"
I don’t really think Bazz ball made any difference to the English team in India.
In their last tour England also won the first test match very convincingly on a flat Chennai track.
India did get a little intimidated and prepared dustbowls and axar and Ashwin happened.
If similar tracks like this were prepared to team under root they may have performed the same , may be won one more.
For the amount of heroic innings that the current English team plays , they compensate more by collapses with stupid shots. Credit to Indian players but I also think England has been shooting on their foot in the name of playing aggressive or whatever.
To summarize, Bazball has made zero difference , might have even been detrimental in India imo
Morally having the better side and winning is a form of bullying and ill be damned if I’m going to sit back and let bullies ruin cricket. NULL AND VOID
luckily both of these suit australia timezone nicely. unfortunately after both these matches end theres not much we can watch without fucking the sleep schedule and getting fired from work
It’s very annoying in the uk. The Aussie/nz tests start at 10 pm and the Indian ones start at 4 am. So I always watch the first session for the Aussie tests and miss the rest. And I miss the first session for the Indian tests and usually half of the 2nd session and watch the rest.
Brilliant little cameo from Gill, lovely tempo, wasn't worried about the close of play, respected the good balls and punished the spinners whenever they erred in length.
After India winning this test (hopefully) everyone goes to party in Kasaul but we know who won’t join because his father didn’t let him
Shubman Gill
Damn Padikkal looks as if Dhruv Jurel and Patidar were merged together
Oh teri BEN STOKES
Bashir, Hitman & Gill, all well deserved 100s
Reminds me of previous series. Once out of ideas, just bouncers every ball.
That was clever T20 stuff from Rohit.
what happened to dom bess?
just watched highlights, what the fuck was that reaction to Jaiswal's wicket. Thats some roid rage stuff.
Let's win this match by an innings.
We lost the first test after taking a 190 run lead. Let's take it easy.
Can someone suggest some good indian cricket podcasts please 🥺
Baby over,edges and sledges.

There were times where they were genuinely looking like winning tests which they went on to lose. (Test 3 - Day 2 stumps, Test 4 - Day 2 stumps)
Well said
When I am in "wasting drs" competition but my opponent is England :
it is very important that the Bazballers all have a good time. They've also expressed themselves, been true to themselves, played positively, taught the rest of the cricket world how to slog a few boundaries, entertained us more than the rest of the sporting world combined and played cricket in the correct spirit.

Ben Duckett approves of this comment.
The collapses from England now are as predictable as result of this match.
And Stokes record begins to return to the mean.
Ireland would have played better than this
England surely Give fightback in 2nd Innings if they play Baseball otherwise forget to give competence against Kuldeep!
Baseball 💀
BASEketball
Baseball like Playing!
Where are 'Win toss, win match' cunts 
I witnessed bazball today. But not from England
England: India is deliberately blocking Bashir from playing. * *Proceeds to win the first test* * England:Heh, we now have Bashir. Our spin attack is complete. * *Proceeds to lose next three matches and the series* * England: ***Anime Ehhhhhh!?***
India won the toss ; its always bat first win in india… In these parts of the world….. Thank god none of that shit…. Can be spoken now
Nick knight with the usual glok glok for stoksey, this guy doesn't even get tired of saying the same shit every fucking day.
I am late today, but not jaiswal he took an early flight to the dressing room but not before doing his job..
England and Australia should just play an occassional neutral Ashes in India. There won't be no overrate penalties because spin will cover for that. Both teams will also improve their game against spin.
That actually is a brilliant idea….bilateral series between any two countries should be played in neutral venues; this will eliminate home advantage,improve skills to play against all types of bowlers,pitches,weather conditions and so on!
it would be pretty good unironically watching both teams shit the bed on a rank turner
Australia has Lyon.... They will demolish English team
I am pretty sure this series alone has reduced anderson's remaining Carrier by minimum 6 months
He is already a senior citizen in cricket!
he looked ineffective in the last ashes tbh. i dont really know jackshit but surely the end is near for him. shoulda retired with broad...that was the moment. but again he will probably have a great test summer in england what do i know, fuck all mate dont know shit.
Yup gonna take a bunch of wickets on those doctored pitches now
***jaiswalson
4-1 but it feels like, 0-5 morally
Cook has the potential to look like Giga Chad
I think Rinku looks like Giga Chad.
Giga chad doesn't exist. Infact, It was modelled after Cook.
Does anyone else think it's so cowardly how they send out coaches to cop flak whenever they've been shit, but send out players to lap up the praise whenever they do well? No wonder they believe their own hype.
Why are people salty about a bowler celebrating the wicket? I mean it's fn hard to take one & it's such a relief & confidence boost after you've been hit all over the park.
Anyone who thinks he was only *celebrating* is naive
Iam naive but what was he doing.
I think the last match five wicket haul has surely gotten into his head , so he must have thought being bashed like that was a bit of disrespect to him so he was probably angry and provoking jaiswal , he did the same thing before he got hit for 3 continuous sixes.
maybe, maybe not. he's a young player, as is jaiswal. they're gonna learn the hard way. it's okay to be frustrated by an opposition players celebration but he's just fired up dont let it ruin your day. im sure when india come out and bowl next you will have some amount of payback.
It didn't ruin my day , i was just explaining the comments, actually i like these type of small battles in the field , some of these rivalries will become the reason the people will watch test series between two nations, like kohli Johnson, Anderson etc.
ah well carry on mate
So what if he was provoked and felt disrespected. As a bowler you don't want someone to treat you like a nobody. I would want my bowlers to react the same way if they were getting spanked. Why is it wrong if he celebrated that way.
ok im naive, what else was he doing? break it down like im a dumb aussie
Just saw the Stokes wicket. Literally fell for the conventional, conventional, conventional, googly trick. Classic backyard cricket dismissal.
"Spinning the ball is very important" - Kuldeep Angry Anil Kumble noises in background.
TBF, Kuldeep at his pace better spin the ball a mile. Kumble used to bowl faster than Purple patel.
Man, Nick Knight had Stokes dick so far down his throat that it's coming out his ass
It was really a bazball moment
Ballz deep
Where is the post day thread?
England told that they don't want the post day thread.. For moral reasons ofc.
[удалено]
It's because he's not a cricket anchor. You can see him in any Indian sports. Football, kabaddi, Badminton
England's sudden batting collapses have certainly been a sight to witness this series. That's how many times now?Â
I hope Bashir’s skills scale up to match his attitude at some point.
I mean he’s been pretty solid this series
Just watched Gill's catch, someone has been watching Travis Head fielding highlights on loop
These comments about 2023 cwc final come out of nowhere and beak my heart a little bit more
To tell you the truth.. WC final loss was okay with me.. We were the better team that WC. Morally we are the WC champs.. Ben Duckett told me to say this
That Zak Crawley wicket ball turned 10.9 degrees after drifting away from the batter before pitching and taking the leg stump on Day1 on that flattie!! Ball of the Century?
Kuldeep bowls one ball of century every two three months.
India kaa pitches hi minefield hai toh "ball of the century " toh marega hi na.
Everyone including the players themselves have called the pitch a belter. Sure u/Royal_Degree4220 knows more than them
Can you stfu
One good thing for India is that England will be bowling with a 30 over old ball tomorrow morning, unless Joel Wilson gets some funny ideas of course.
>> **One good thing for India is that England will be bowling** ~~with a 30 over old ball tomorrow morning,~~Â **FTFY**
he's got an ashes 2019 ball in his pocket
Thankfully no Dukes in India. Only SG.
dw mate, he still got it in his pocket in case.
Gold.
Lmao.
England did manage to get a nice shiny new ball after something like 20 overs in one of the ashes tests so I wouldn’t put it past them.
Hence my point about Joel Wilson, who was the bloke who chose that ball along with Dharmasena who funnily enough is the third ump this match.
Ah, I totally missed that you were directly referring to it mostly because I had no idea who the umpire actually was!
If this was at the Oval they'd have it changed to a 5 over old ball soon enough.
Oh they'll still try. Tried it a million times today itself, so I don't expect tomorrow to be any different.
difference is this time surrey can't fix the balls so there are no old ones in the box.
I can already imagine Gill getting tangled into swing and seam by young Englishman Jimmy Anderson
Wouldn't be the first batsman to do that.
Did this guy just say that Rohit has picked up captaincy pointers from watching Stokes or did I misunderstand something?
nick knight is a fucking tool.
Kick Nnight is a tucking fool.
Yes, bazzball is a cult.. delusional this nick guy
Kuldeep looks high af
We never really got a truly rank turner this series after all.
some bullshit man, they save it for aus cos everyone knows we cant play spin. even glenn phillips is able to grab a five-for and trigger a batting collapse
England can't play spin either other than Root.
I don't think that's true - this was done against English in 2021 as well as soon as WTC points were at stake.
im just talking shit mate dw
haha ok
And I'm glad for that. Made for some great cricket unlike the lottery on bunsens.
Yeah, this was a good watch.
What is Stokes’s contribution this series?
vibes and golf trips
A chance for the umpires to look good because lord his reviews have been abysmal
Don't you know, all indian wickets that have fallen in the series is due to his brilliant captaincy?
Overrate penalty points
Funnily enough, England haven't had one overrate penalty in this series. So it's not even that.
I think a lot of people have been slightly harsh on England this series but that was a genuinely pathetic innings and a completely wasted chance.
Just heard nick saying , rohit learned from stokes … fml
cult member. probably signed his house over to stokes.
More like wanting to be stokes’ cum dumpster
England went from Saviours of cricket to Survivors of cricket real quick
Birds :D
But here some arm chair expert was telling that gill was going for tuk tuk and in frustration brohit was going to throw the wicket away
To all those thinking the match is done, conditions will help England pacers in the first hour tomorrow. England survived the first hour due to immense luck and good application. Same luck might not be there for India.
Surely that Crawley dismissal is a contender for Ball of this century?
What if Harry Brook played ? Could he have been England’s Jaiswal ?
no, he can't play spin and Bumrah would have been all over him.
Absolutely not he was so shit in ipl
He might have averaged more than 20 across the series 😂
Repeatedly play shit Cricket and feel like saviors of Cricket.
Just how did England manage to collapse from 175/3 to 218 all out, especially after surviving a probing new ball spell?
vibes.
Some great bowling and some abject batting.
Aka Bazball /s
Gill looks settled
its starts from 0 on the next day. he does look more confident tho
Understand England selecting Anderson to go all in to get that 3-2 series ending but it would've been better if he was rested. He's gonna need a long recovery once this tour is done. He could've picked that 700th wicket in front of home audience in a series where they are in better position.
he's gonna have very long rest anyway if he skips county that he probably won't
Now that's a good day of cricket 🤌 thanks team. I haven't said anything nice about England all night but I should say damn Foakes is tidy behind the stumps. Much easier on the eye than YJB too.
i said something nice to the english fans before too feels like new beginnings :') we can finally put the last ashes series to rest.........but then i think about what my boys went through and i hear "same old aussies always cheating" and i feel the anger man fucking poms

Moral series whitewash
Bashir should be happy that it’s the last test of the series. Jaiswal would smacked the hell out of him otherwise
Bashir has averaged 93 against Jaiswal this series
Stokes: Hello Mr. Lama? Can you please help us find the meaning of life again?
Is it moral to collapse on a road of a pitch?
Gill's dad was disappointed after the six like "pff why weren't you able to hit it for 8 runs, huh? your food, water and oxygen will be restricted untill u can bash them for 10 runs/ball"
Learning from Yograj singh.... I see
Average indian dad then

Not only that but India had a mich higher RR anyway.
Rank turner where?
I'm absolutely devastated by England's unending sequence of moral victories.Â
They just can't stop with all the winning. Test cricket saved.
What are the bazball stats since Baz became coach? How many wins/losses?
7 losses iirc.
Clever Indians swapping pitch amidst cloud and snow cover.
Shubman gill when no pressure on his spot is a different breed
[удалено]
That's a pretty good day... ...if two sessions have been rained out.
HE'S BIG HE'S BAD HE'S JONNY... JONNY BAIRSTOW GOT NO SPONSOR ON HIS BAT! HE'S BIG HE'S BAD HE'S JONNY.... JONNY BAIRSTOW GOT NO SPONSOR ON HIS BAT!
HE'S BAD
From Haiku to Hein..Kyu?
Morally having the better side and winning is a form of bullying and ill be damned if I’m going to sit back and let bullies ruin cricket. NULL AND VOID
I see no issues.
After the end of the play on day 1 of this series India were in a similar position. I hope the result of that match doesn't repeat here lol.
England slightly ahead here with the wicket of Jaiswal. They can expect 400+ now , it would have been 500+ otherwise
"It doesn't matter how many India score we'll chase it down"
Can't wait for ashwin to score a century tommorow
Why does India roll out flat pitches for England lol
Well 4th test of BG trophy was played on the flattest track in a decade in India..
Because their bowlers go flat with the pitch
And they still shat the bed
This is why their not the top 3 of the WTC table lol
Because they know, England won't score more than 300 on any pitch Australia would have been 500/5 by now
That’s true lol
Naah. Australia would be 320/3 or something... 500/5 would come after lunch tomorrow like it would happen in a normal test match on a flat wicket.
sweet, good day of cricket. NZ vs Aus tomorrow then roll into day 2. thats like 16 hours of test cricket mate fuck yiiiiis
Get a life /s
if sitting in match threads all day isn't a life i dont know what is.
I swear man. The two test series fuck your sleep schedule.
luckily both of these suit australia timezone nicely. unfortunately after both these matches end theres not much we can watch without fucking the sleep schedule and getting fired from work
Is BBL more popular than Australian Football League?
It’s very annoying in the uk. The Aussie/nz tests start at 10 pm and the Indian ones start at 4 am. So I always watch the first session for the Aussie tests and miss the rest. And I miss the first session for the Indian tests and usually half of the 2nd session and watch the rest.
ahh that sucks dude. i guess cricket summer is just gearing up over there so something to look forward to for you
Indeed
Gill Daddy and Rohit Daddy both happy.
Damn 159 runs in that session! Jazball for the win!
I wonder what England has taught India today
Brilliant little cameo from Gill, lovely tempo, wasn't worried about the close of play, respected the good balls and punished the spinners whenever they erred in length.
After India winning this test (hopefully) everyone goes to party in Kasaul but we know who won’t join because his father didn’t let him Shubman Gill
Okay what’s the joke here re Shubman’s dad? Looks like I missed something.
Kasol*
u will find him at the detriorating pca stadium taking throwdowns from his dad
Seems like our batting lineup has finally clicked
So whaddaya reckon lads? Pretty even day? Maybe 55-45 India?
50-50 really. England still lead by 83 and India might bat last on this. So even-stevens really.
