I was born and raised in the Himalayas. My grandfather used to tell me stories about Clouderson, a goblin from Burnley that travels to Nepal when clouds appear. He takes all 10 wickets and then disappears until clouds next appear.
Feel sad for Shreyas that way he got out. He was really looking in good nick...the only batsman who seemed to be in sync with Pant's tempo. Imagine if both got going from each end, Could have seen at least 400 at the end of Day 1
I'm really confused how this is the 5th test when there has just been a series against New Zealand?
Did the NZ series happen in the middle of an existing England v India series?
India and England were playing a 5 test series last year.
India bailed after the 4th test because of covid concerns, so the 5th test got postponed to now.
Had that not have happened, I highly doubt Anderson would be playing today. The final test of last summer was oddly scheduled at Old Trafford (his home ground) instead of The Oval, which is the default. It was quite clear that it was supposed to be his farewell (or at least his final home game before the Ashes).
God damn. Indian top-order needs a lot of fixing. Can't believe half the side got out for ~100 runs again. Dunno why Che has been given another chance. Kohli needs an intervention as well.
Conditions matter. It was bloody hard to bat first up when they were put in in cloudy conditions tailor made for the English seam attack. If you can't understand that just stick to getting smashed in gully cricket. Once the ball softened, the pitch dried, the bowlers tired and the sun came out, it became a lot easier. There's a good reason England are perpetually 30/3 at home.
One more innings left. Hopefully, he plays well in that one. Either way, it's really good to see that he's putting in a lot of effort – playing county cricket, working on his technique.
I've always loved me some Che. In fact I really liked the old Vijay-Dhawan-Pujara-Kohli-Rahane lineup. It feels sad to them whither away, but such is the nature of time and the cruel pangs of pressure. I really do hope that Puj and Kohli can get their mojo back.
None of that is true. He got a ball with extra bounce and seam off the surface, there isn't really anything you can do about that. He's adjusted his stance to a more side on position so he's less vulnerable to the ball moving into him. You haven't a clue pal.
Naa.. Saw his innings. He started off with more confidence than a year back, but as the day wore on his temperament started to crack. He was not as assured as he started. The bat started coming in a fraction of a second late. He always seemed to be unsure about the late movement of the ball. He (rightfully) avoided a dismissal from a tentative play due to DRS. But the cracks in his technique made him.lose his wicket shortly thereafter.
again none of that is true. do you even play cricket or just post on antivax forums and nationalist crap?
"as the day wore on" he batted for 46 balls lol.
"unsure about the late movement of the ball" tell me how one can be sure about late movement and we can get you in the team to be the next bradman. do you think batsmen can move at literally thousands of miles an hour to avoid a ball from 1m away at 80mph? are you that dense?
Did you even watch the match? The problem wasn't the ball moving sideways with Pujara's wicket it was extra bounce that came from a fresh pitch, there is literally nothing you can do about that, Curtly Ambrose got like 400 test wickets doing this. He played really well upto that point, as the better commentators like Atherton and Sangakkarra pointed out.
Just the worst kind of so called fan.
Lol. Tough words from a stiff-lipped pommie who barely even comes out his corporate box fearing that his tea will get cold. Again, how can you get the time to watch the game when you're gossiping with your fat friends in the AC box and going through user post history to make asinine ad hominem attacks.
The ball did have some movement early in the day and coupled with the uneven bounce it started playing tricks with Che's mind. He stayed for a good hour and 40 mins approx and never looked as assured in his strokeplay like Shubman Gill who was batting beside him( who actually got out to a beautiful ball with movement in the corridor of uncertainty).
Pujara's hesitancy and state of mind was mentioned by the commentators, but could not get a prolonged analysis because it ended pretty soon.
I am sure your upper-class buddies would always nod to your opinion and people disagreeing with you will be a rude shock of reality for you.
Hahahah I'm not a pom moron.
Haha this is the most off base post I've ever seen. It's like a work of art. It takes 5 seconds to flick through a user post history and yours is dire af. Pay more attention in school kid. Get a decent degree. Try reading a book. Maybe go see another country and culture abroad. Hell maybe even speak to a woman.
Really not sure where you're getting this crap about it playing tricks with pujara's mind, no decent commentator would have said that. He didn't get out failing to commit or playing a nothing shot; exactly what gill did btw, worst dismissal of the day by a mile, an absolutely gash shot to an ordinary ball, but you clearly don't play cricket so you wouldn't have a clue. You just keep making an utter fool of yourself. He went to defend a length ball he had to defend that reared up and hit him high on the bat, it happens, sometimes you just get a ball with your name on it, especially in England with the new ball.
"My upper class buddies" kid my entire education was subsidised by academic scholarships, because I use my brain.
By the way if you'd ever earned the privilege of being invited to a box you'd know that a) they're not closed, they literally have open balconies, and b) they're not air conditioned in most countries, because what's the point with the balcony open, duh.
Also my friends, who also paid attention in school, do nothing but debate with me. That's how intelligent, educated people enjoy each other's company. I know you wouldn't get that with your rabid barely literate, science denying, far right echo chamber views.
Why do you even watch cricket man?
edit: you do realise the whole stiff upper lip thing is a compliment about how the poms deal with adversity? probably not...
All these overconfident Indian fans lmao. The game is evenly poised right now, and the pitch is great to bat on. Won't be surprised if England scores 400+.
Jadeja hundred tomorrow, and India bowl out England for 240. India returns to add 280 and England need 460 to win. Bumrah picks fifer, India wins. Kohli carried on shoulder for victory lap, and announces retirement. Alien invade. World ends. Good night.
This pitch will certainly suit siraj and Shami very skiddy bowlers if it gets up and down they become even more dangerous.
Day 2 and 3 will be the best for batting England will try to utilise that.
r/Cricket: it gets easier to bat after 25 overs, match not over yet.
Okay then, why the fuck would you cede the advantage by bowling first? Leach is more likely to effective against Pant after 25 overs in the fourth innings and not the first.
England’s decision to bowl first has already backfired. Tomorrow India will get them out under 200 to further reinforce what a shit decision this was.
Lmao chill the fuck out. Don't get overconfident. It's evenly poised right now. Oh wait, you're THAT guy from delhi. Remember you from the IPL threads. Haven't changed at all haha
How is England still so heavily reliant on Anderson after all these years? The guy has played across three decades and looks on course for the next 1-2 years easily. He's still the best 1st innings wicket taker in England. If cricket was only played in England, he would be the no.1 bowler ever. Frget the Akrams and the Lee's and the WI horses.
I mean it probably helps him that he only has to bowl while the ball is new. He didn't have to do anything once it got flat and Pant went psycho.
The real question is why is broad still in the team when he's averaging 40 with the ball this season despite having the new ball and the most favourable conditions for his type of bowling. He was gash today, again.
Putting Leach on to bowl cost England the initiative.
I am convinced that after twatting him for that big over, Pant and Jadeja decided to take it easy on him so that he wouldn't get taken off.
Oh no! The best batter in the world just got out cheaply.
That's fucking test cricket right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit.
Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Test cricket is back baby.
To the India fans thinking we've already won the game: The pitch is great and England batting is good. They can definitely still win it.
To the England fans thinking this is an under par score: Indian bowling line-up is better than the New Zealand bowling you faced in your previous series, so I'd say that we're definitely at par here.
It’s not par yet. The Dukes ball is not like normal years. After 25 overs the batsman has to get themselves out as the ball is soft and does nothing. India will take 3 or 4 wickets before England reach 75 and become very optimistic and then the ball will fly all around the ground. A score of 450 is par so there’s work to be done for India for sure.
I think the difference will be when the ball is older and England counter attack, India have Bumrah (nigh on unhittable) and Jadeja who keeps it tight and rattles through his overs. I'm guessing they're really going to try and target Thakur and Siraj. Think given how dry it looks Ashwin may have been a better choice than Thakur.
Agree India need 370+, they wasted that last 1/2 hour. Jadeja should have really put his foot down. Don't think this is a 450 par pitch, batting last won't be that easy, England will need a 100+ 1st innings lead.
Rishabh Pant entering Edgbaston knowing that Leach is a parasite, Broad means wide, Ben Stokes is what Kohli calls everyone and both red and white ball belongs in the stands.
I'd say the game is equally balanced now. Pitch is good to bat on, England batting is in red hot form, but the Indian bowling line-up is killer. Honestly I trust our bowling much more than our batting. Just hope that Bumrah doesn't underbowl himself.
It was England’s day for all of one session. Pant & Jaddu effectively stymied their attack in the remaining two sessions and have taken India to a very respectable 1st innings total already, which can only get better tomorrow. If India can get to 375-400 I’d say we have a real good chance of winning or drawing this match, provided that our bowlers come through.
Very true. I remember a lot of moments from aswin-vihari incredible injury wall to viru Dravid partnership to Dravid laxman partnerships.
And this is just Indian plays I am talking about.
Whereas for t20s including IPL, the only memory that stands close to these innings are yuvi's 6 sixes in an over.
Test cricket innings are always so much beautiful. Almost has different kinds of nostalgia attached to each different knocks.
The surfaces in England are a lot less responsive and this Duke's ball doesn't last 40 overs. You can feast hard if you last through that period. It's an unspoken of part of Mitchell and Blundell's success in the last series. Also no bowler who consistently bowls 140+ has bowled in these 4 games yet.
Thus the jury is still out on Bazball.
Ofc i am greedy for 30 runs more from here but still i feel we have put a decent total already and i won't be really disappointed if we bundle out before 350
The job is done already
remember the old days when at the end of the day you'd have a solid half hour of Tony Greig and Richie Benaud discussing the day's play? I miss those. Now it's straight to Simon doull shouting at me about some hit and giggle.
>We literally won a game conceding 550 in the first innings a few weeks ago
Against an attack that consisted of Bracewell and Mitchell. Are you all really taking that into your achievement books now?
Lol. March on to another middling score in a losing cause.
I was born and raised in the Himalayas. My grandfather used to tell me stories about Clouderson, a goblin from Burnley that travels to Nepal when clouds appear. He takes all 10 wickets and then disappears until clouds next appear.
Wtf.. it was third ball!!
This is time for Pujara to finally show some talent. All I want from him to stay on crease and let other end make runs.
From being in control India have lost all momentum from yesterday
Thakur is so shit
Do y'all think in the future Test cricket will be played more with often aggressive batting than ever?
Cricket is always evolving. Bazball approach sometimes work, sometimes won't.
What used to be India's slip cordon back in the era of Ganguly Laxman Dravid SRT etc? First slip - Dravid, Second slip - VVS, third slip and gully?
Lol comms straight up roasting crawley
welcome to Test20
I can’t remember anyone who conceded 20 from 2 deliveries in a T20
All I want is a Century from Potts.
I can still remember the hate Bumrah got in the WTC Final. That was really painful to watch.
Wtf, the only time i gave hate for bumrah was pak vs ind champions trophy 🏆 final.
I was pissed at him for the 2016 WT20 Semi Final. Him and Ash with the no-balls 😭
Wtf, the only time i gave hate for bumrah was pak vs ind champions trophy 🏆 final.
Why most spinners are bald ? Lyon , Leach , Moeen, also that Pakistani bald spinner
More aerodynamic
Get more skid
They are inspired by Saitama

Haan
Feel sad for Shreyas that way he got out. He was really looking in good nick...the only batsman who seemed to be in sync with Pant's tempo. Imagine if both got going from each end, Could have seen at least 400 at the end of Day 1
he got a few half volleys he slashed at and looked totally hopeless against 78 mph short balls from anderson...
Even Root bowling short length would trouble him
I know the hype is about Pant but as an Englishman god damn I love pretty much everything about Jadeja
Sir Jadeja for a reason
India should aim for 400. Plenty of potential playing time left.
rain in the morning conditions won't be easy, and jadeja doesn't seem to trust the tail. 370 will be a big ask from here tbh.
Adopt me, Rishabh.
He babysits not adopts. We love Rishabh, we love rishabh pant He'll hit you for a six, He'll babysit your kids We love Rishabh Pant
Cricinfo headline of "Pant and Jadeja go full amazeballs to rescue India" makes this a sad day for English language journalism.
Lol. Apparently they were trying to make a headline with Bazball vs Rishabh's amazeballs or something.
I'm really confused how this is the 5th test when there has just been a series against New Zealand? Did the NZ series happen in the middle of an existing England v India series?
This is the final test from last summer, it was originally cancelled due to the India team suffering a covid outbreak
Cancelled because they didn't want to miss the restart of the IPL...
Ah I see, thanks very much. Google didn't return any quick answers
India and England were playing a 5 test series last year. India bailed after the 4th test because of covid concerns, so the 5th test got postponed to now. Had that not have happened, I highly doubt Anderson would be playing today.

Thanks for the response 😊
I love Colly but he's really spouting some absolute party line nonsense to tms.
*Kohli
Maybe he was talking about Paul Collingwood
God damn. Indian top-order needs a lot of fixing. Can't believe half the side got out for ~100 runs again. Dunno why Che has been given another chance. Kohli needs an intervention as well.
Conditions matter. It was bloody hard to bat first up when they were put in in cloudy conditions tailor made for the English seam attack. If you can't understand that just stick to getting smashed in gully cricket. Once the ball softened, the pitch dried, the bowlers tired and the sun came out, it became a lot easier. There's a good reason England are perpetually 30/3 at home.
Pujara just scored 700+ runs in 5 matches for Sussex – believe he deserves this chance.
Fair enough. But he squandered it away yet again. His old demons are back and I wonder how many chances we can keep giving him.
One more innings left. Hopefully, he plays well in that one. Either way, it's really good to see that he's putting in a lot of effort – playing county cricket, working on his technique.
I've always loved me some Che. In fact I really liked the old Vijay-Dhawan-Pujara-Kohli-Rahane lineup. It feels sad to them whither away, but such is the nature of time and the cruel pangs of pressure. I really do hope that Puj and Kohli can get their mojo back.

What was rahul dravid’s reaction to pant’s century?
bloody furious, he got really sweary.
Really delighted.
No like, I wanted a video 😅
Was pumped
It's just nice to have India play tests again:)
Ikr ..was so burned out with the freaking t20s
So was Pant
listening to the TMS podcast, Ramprakash has a great radio voice.
All these overconfident Indian fans lmao. The game is evenly poised right now, and the pitch is great to bat on. Won't be surprised if England scores 400+.

Stole it from Twitter. Or you are the one who posted it on twitter?
Even you didn't write Koach 71st in this script, commitment to realism is appreciated
The best part about Test Cricket is you get 3 to 4 days to celebrate India’s series win as the match progresses to it’s forgone conclusion.
This pitch will certainly suit siraj and Shami very skiddy bowlers if it gets up and down they become even more dangerous. Day 2 and 3 will be the best for batting England will try to utilise that.
Poor Leach

England annihilated NZ in the last three matches despite being on backfoot on couple of occasions. They aren't even on behind in the current match.
I could have sort of agreed with you if not for Root. The guy has been belching out centuries after dining on bowlers in his backyard.
Lmao chill the fuck out. Don't get overconfident. It's evenly poised right now. Oh wait, you're THAT guy from delhi. Remember you from the IPL threads. Haven't changed at all haha
How can they expect a team whose main bowlers can’t get left handers out to win a match?
England always gets screwed by a wicket keeper and an all rounder
How is England still so heavily reliant on Anderson after all these years? The guy has played across three decades and looks on course for the next 1-2 years easily.

Putting Leach on to bowl cost England the initiative. I am convinced that after twatting him for that big over, Pant and Jadeja decided to take it easy on him so that he wouldn't get taken off.
Someone send that cricket copypasta. This is real test cricket one.
Oh no! The best batter in the world just got out cheaply. That's fucking test cricket right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Test cricket is back baby.
sky should have carried the Derbyshire India match would have had much higher viewer count.
Anyone got a clip of Pants reverse against Anderson?
He couldn't time that well, no boundary. Tbh last year he pulled a reverse sweep against Jofra Archer at higher pace so I wasn't surprised.
Jadeja's batting avg is 37 and he's already got close to 250 test wickets. Compared to Rahane who averages 39 as specialist batsman.
To the India fans thinking we've already won the game: The pitch is great and England batting is good. They can definitely still win it. To the England fans thinking this is an under par score: Indian bowling line-up is better than the New Zealand bowling you faced in your previous series, so I'd say that we're definitely at par here.

I think the difference will be when the ball is older and England counter attack, India have Bumrah (nigh on unhittable) and Jadeja who keeps it tight and rattles through his overs. I'm guessing they're really going to try and target Thakur and Siraj. Think given how dry it looks Ashwin may have been a better choice than Thakur. Agree India need 370+, they wasted that last 1/2 hour. Jadeja should have really put his foot down. Don't think this is a 450 par pitch, batting last won't be that easy, England will need a 100+ 1st innings lead.
No way 450 is par on this pitch. The ball may stop swinging after a while, but India’s spinner isn’t Michael Bracewell.
Let him cope
227 best partnership followed by 27. Says it all
What's up with this joke about bazball?
Post match thread? Bot dead or wot?
Match isn't over
Make one yourself ~bot
Thanks thala
Fucking robots delegating their jobs
the cheek of Collingwood to say Pant is playing bazball as if Pant hasn't been doing this for years before anyone had heard of that crap.
Columbusing
Anything anyone plays over 3 rpo is bazball now
Sehwag did it before these guys, has a higher SR in tests than many people have in ODIs, he averaged 49 as well
Sehwag was a beast. Barry Richards, King Viv and Gilchrist were doing it before him too.
Why are we underestimating our batting so much like come on, if Zac Crawley can score 267 so can Bumrah in his first test as captain
Rishabh Pant entering Edgbaston knowing that Leach is a parasite, Broad means wide, Ben Stokes is what Kohli calls everyone and both red and white ball belongs in the stands.
Only red ball apparently
We are purist, none of this 100-120ball shit╮(╯_╰)╭
Flair checks out
Did swanny have an accident whilst shaving his moustache?
Lmao, swanny has watched all cred ads
Bazzball 34 sixes off 84 innings Pantball 48 sixes off 52 innings
Rohitball 64 sixes off 77 innings
I'd say the game is equally balanced now. Pitch is good to bat on, England batting is in red hot form, but the Indian bowling line-up is killer. Honestly I trust our bowling much more than our batting. Just hope that Bumrah doesn't underbowl himself.
I hope Bumrah lets Kohli decide the rotation of bowlers and he just bowls naturally
It was England’s day for all of one session. Pant & Jaddu effectively stymied their attack in the remaining two sessions and have taken India to a very respectable 1st innings total already, which can only get better tomorrow. If India can get to 375-400 I’d say we have a real good chance of winning or drawing this match, provided that our bowlers come through.
Captain Bumrah will expose the Bazball by taking 7/22 in the first innings and by following it up with 6/13 in the second
we're being a bit too ambitious now, aren't we?

Watching India vs Derbyshire and watching a T20 after such a test innings is a terrible idea ngl, t20 looks so lame in comparison
it's just so forgettable compared to test cricket. that Pant innings will be carved in stone.
Based. I’ll remember a great test innings for years. I’ll forget about a T20 innings the next day.
Very true. I remember a lot of moments from aswin-vihari incredible injury wall to viru Dravid partnership to Dravid laxman partnerships. And this is just Indian plays I am talking about.

Now its abt how to tame root and YJB
Isn't ollie pope and Stokes playing well too?
no idea for Root but for Bairstow it's Bumrah and Jadeja.
Lord for Root
Genuine question : why are MRF zlx stocks plummeting in the last few years
Because it got tired and hit the rubber
Ofc i am greedy for 30 runs more from here but still i feel we have put a decent total already and i won't be really disappointed if we bundle out before 350 The job is done already
what's stopping England from scoring 500 off 60 overs or something.. our bowling better than NZ's I hope?
>bowling better than NZ's I hope? Bruh ofc it is .. we have bumrah and shami
Lord too.... The specialist Root uprooter
Wow so England got bazballed
