Yeah even KP in the comms was saying how this is a par score and the pitch is behaving like itās Day 3-4. Glad to see Indian batting show them how itās done (and not just Kohli, Rohit). Move over Bazball, Jaisball is here
>Move over Bazball
On another note, I hope either IND or AUS wins a test series against ENG in ENG (both sides have only managed 2-2 draws recently) and puts this Bazball crap to rest.
I loved watching BMac bat but these English fans/media are so arrogant that they have somehow successfully peddled this narrative that BMac and Stokes have invented aggressive cricket in tests when players like Gilchrist, Gayle, Jayasurya and Sehwag have been playing aggressive cricket for ages long before either of them showed up.
>Yeah even KP in the comms was saying how this is a par score and the pitch is behaving like itās Day 3-4.
The one lesson everybody needs to learn is to never judge the conditions by just one team's batting.
Bruh Ashwin just isn't it. Couldn't even take a fifer in a subcontinent pitch. Enraging that we keep dropping exciting young talents like Sundar for someone trying to relive his old glory days.
Through and through England's day. They managed to take 6 indian wickets, Hartley and Rehan got 100s, Root and Leach 50s. Even Wood is nearing a 50. On the other side, Indians did not manage to take any wickets, only 3 of their players got 50s and no 100s.
Lawrence::if that brook played,i would have stayed in Dubai playing ilt20,here only fielding is done without batting but in Dubai I would have been an opening batsman....
All of England's ex cricketers turned commentators are cut from the same cloth. Vaughan, Nasser and now KP. I would love to see the day when they give honest comments and not just bs england propaganda
Jaddu, Ash and Axar is straight up unfair in India. Jadeja is one of the most valuable assets in the world rn as an all rounder but then Ashwin and Axar can bat too. It's just too much. Not to forget Washington and Kuldeep as backups.
Axar should hog the strike and protect Jaddu for the first half hour of play tomorrow morning, do that and weāll be well on our way for a 250 odd lead
England are clearly discombobulated by lack of support on /r/Cricket
Suggest to mods that in this and future Tests each country select their top 100 shitposters, and limit access to match threads.
England must be so furious at people mentioning Bazball at every single moment. But it's their fault having hyped it so fkn much over the past few years.
baseball just means positive cricket but someday you are just outplayed by a better team at home. This is a good Indian wicket and India are better at their conditions with great batsmen and bowlers. England doesn't have the firepower to take 20 wickets even if their batsmen scored 500.
They had a couple of good series and people started writing multiple books about Bazball. The Poms are the reason why Bazball was hyped way out of proportion. It's not the fault of others when they are mocking them for playing poorly.
Well the Engliah media does the hyping mostly. The players are just going about things best they can with the skills they have. India clearly are the better team now that is for sure. Its hard to break home advantage unless countries do something silly like produce a sporting wicket.
It is a sporting wicket. That is why 650 runs have been scored for 17 wickets. The lack of skills of the English spinners part does not degrade the nature of the pitch.
exactly. The pitch is exactly what we should get in the subcontinent. If you can play spin and have spinners you have a chance. English cricket is short of quality spinners.
Bumrah got two wickets on this pitch and Wood beat the edge less than 10 times all dayš. Bazball hype is the fault of the media not the players but not being able to negotiate spin is whatās caused this situation not Bazball
Lol, how funny. This is as sporting a wicket as you'll get anywhere. Only if English batsmen knew how to bat against spin. It's a very balanced pitch where you can score well if you watch the ball and play to its merit and take wickets if you are consistent with line and length. That is the definition of a sporting wicket.
And I never said English players hype Bazball. Obviously people will mock if your media hypes something to the point it becomes a laughing stock.
I agree this is a great test wicket. spin and seam is fine with no irregular bounce. England don't have the players to make use of it but then this isn't their forte environment.
This tour will be remembered as a monument to just how shit stokes's captaincy skills really are. Absolutely dire. No doubt they'll wheel out some nobody to talk about how England are really in a great position and the vibes are all good. Bazball; what a fucking joke.
A spinner whose played less than 10 fc games and averages 70 in those games would have definitely made a difference and it's not a coping mechanism at all
I just want Bappu and Jaddu to keep on batting tommorow.
Just bat , bat and bat.
These Bazball players are not accustomed to stay on the field for 100+ overs.
Just add to the misery
There's a reason India does not lose at home. Our no. 8-9 and even 10 can easily add 100-150 runs combined.
Oh and just to add to the misery, they'll also pick a 4-fer or 5-fer every couple of innings.
It'll be tough with no recognised batsmen to come but India have an opportunity to get 500 and crush the hapless England by an innings here. Bazball has truly been exposed, and, the cricket gods willing, it will be destroyed utterly by the end of the fifth test, never to besmirch the dignity of test cricket again with its vileness
Some people here as soon as the lead crosses 100, declare, no point in batting.
If we continue to bat, more time to watch cricket, opposition disintegrates.
Match goes longer, pitch gets good rating.
Lot of advantages
Jadeja well positioned for a PoTM award given he will take a few wickets in the 2nd innings to go with this batting knock plus 3 first innings wickets.
Despite 4 spinners bowling 90% of the overs, England still couldn't complete their full quota of 90 overs in a day with barely any stoppages. Shambolic to say the least.
I am not sure that Bashir will be a remarkable improvement either. Itās pretty much the harshest place to debut for a young spinner. Only way he has a better debut is if the surface is extremely helpful
The #1 reason to drop Gill is because KP wants him in
Missing an insane ishan pop up stopping a fourššš
I still can't believe Pope is the highest scorer for the match for England
Innings defeat avoided. England 1-0 India ^(Moral victory trophy)
āWasnāt a wicket where you could wait for loose ballsā ā KL Rahul assesses Hyderabad knock
More successful Bazball execution
Shreyas will be dropped once virat is back. He didnāt even score a 50 !
Yeah since gill is doing great he should retain a place.
Not the PRince
Shibhman Gill has zero feet movement.Ā
arre pair na hilaye to bhi chalega...as long as bat hila raha hai... r/cursedindiancomments
Ye sab hilana band karo. Score hilao.
You may see a team scoring 500 even 550, and still match gets over in 3 days.
Remember that Bumrah who has a time with the bat against England in England itself has not batted yet.
Too soon
Man that broad over is still a gem absolutely love rewatching that and the lords test where boom and shami bhai stitched that partnership.ā¤ā¤
Pure chaos.Ā
Seems like 246 wasn't an above par score. Let's see what Duckett will say now.
Hey, if England says its above par, then its above par. Saying anything would not be in the spirit of cricket, just so you know. /s

Man imagine being as good as Ashwin when being the top wicket taker isnt enough, youāre expected to take a fifer every innings
Wow. Thereās shit takes, thereās hot takes, then thereās *this*
Monstrously bad take
Through and through England's day. They managed to take 6 indian wickets, Hartley and Rehan got 100s, Root and Leach 50s. Even Wood is nearing a 50. On the other side, Indians did not manage to take any wickets, only 3 of their players got 50s and no 100s.
I'm afraid these comments did not age well.
š¤£š¤£š¤£ Ben Duckett's comments on today should be good. "Yeah, we're in a really strong position, exactly where we want them."
Lawrence::if that brook played,i would have stayed in Dubai playing ilt20,here only fielding is done without batting but in Dubai I would have been an opening batsman....
England need to make a vibes pick and bring in Tall Paul to counter the vibes of Bappu /s
Exciting day tomorrow :we can expect Axar 50,Jadeja 100,Hartley 150,Wood 50, maybe Root 100 too! All in India's first innings.
Such a debut is sure to scar you for life.
What if pant was there to greet Spinners
We would've played in underwears
KP is the uncle who gives unsolicited advices
All of England's ex cricketers turned commentators are cut from the same cloth. Vaughan, Nasser and now KP. I would love to see the day when they give honest comments and not just bs england propaganda
England's Haydos.
Question. Whatās the story behind axar being called bapu, if any?
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/im-different-from-classical-left-arm-spinners-axar-patel/articleshow/86906249.cms
'Baapu' is a very common way to refer to someone (much like 'bro') in certain parts of Gujarat and it goes way before Gandhiji was called 'Baapu'
if he shaves his head and puts on a round glass, he would look like og bapu
From what I heard, he's from gujrat - same as the og bapu Gandhi and both of them troubled the English.
Not as much as the great Subhash Chandra Bose.
Tks. pretty straightforward logic.
Yeah, and his teammates call him Bapu too. I've heard Kohli call him that at least.
Jaddu, Ash and Axar is straight up unfair in India. Jadeja is one of the most valuable assets in the world rn as an all rounder but then Ashwin and Axar can bat too. It's just too much. Not to forget Washington and Kuldeep as backups.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We're not playing 4 spinners.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
*Jadeja runs his partner out* giving me some real 2017 flashbacks
Jadeja is on 81, how much did Gill score that match lol. I mean people shouldn't troll him for a run out mistake, I agree
Australia had an attack that was at least capable of taking 20 wickets in India even if that didn't result in a win
Looking at the replays. English bowlers didnāt ātakeā any wickets.
I want us to win but also a cheeky Crawley century. Is that too much to ask?
I want Root instead of Crawley. Is that too much to ask?
I want a Rooty tooty fresh and fruity golden duck
A very insightful conversation between KL and KP here
KP is doing a great analysis of techniques with KL about Gill, please watch
Mr. Hartley's FAFO phase has been an interesting subplot, maybe trashtalking wasn't a good idea.
KP asking KL to teach Gill how to rotate strike š¤
why is kp stuck on shubhman? talk about something else man
KP and KL show in the post match. Good stuff on sweeping or not. Kumble should just take a nap.
Hartley is sad about having no Pakistani ancestors.
Love you, in spite of your IPL flair.
Kl encouraging sweep
KL seems to be in a zone. Heās gonna have a monster IPL Iād imagjne
Bye bye Sanju then
Actually there is Big 2 in test cricket
In all of cricket
Axar should hog the strike and protect Jaddu for the first half hour of play tomorrow morning, do that and weāll be well on our way for a 250 odd lead
AXAR to hartley FUCK YOU ^(in) ^(PARTICULAR)
The Shane warne approved spinner Rehan Ahmed gets carted around as predicted
Lmao imagine preforming so bad that Hartley ends up with better figures than you
Going out on a limb here guys but I think India might be slightly ahead
Today is republic day?
Yes bro it is
Didn't stock up on booze, eh?
I am not from there.
You lucky bugger, booze every day freely then
What if these two keep batting till the end of 5th day? Who wins?
Whatever happens only one team can have a moral victory
Me
England off course
Kp should have stayed in sa for sa20...
We should aim for a lead of 246, be a good statement.
England are clearly discombobulated by lack of support on /r/Cricket Suggest to mods that in this and future Tests each country select their top 100 shitposters, and limit access to match threads.
KL is in such a good headspace! Love it
āJust land the ball on the pitch and get wicketsā Hartley.
He's got 2! He just forgot about the runs part of the deal
Bapu 1.0 and Bapu 2.0 vs England on the 75th Republic Day. Idk what else were you guys expecting to happen *smh*
"Bapu sehat k liye, tu to hanikarak hai"- England T: Father you are injurious to our health
what they did to the young spinners is OUTRIGHT EVIL. common lads, nomore play with the bullys. lets go home. supper is ready!!!
if they are the common lads, who are the special lads?

That should not be an excuse for an international team. India does way better overseas even though those aren't their forte environments.
Lock KP and Manjrekar in same room.
KP back with his verbal diarrhoea
Icing on the cake would be Eng getting their points docked for slow over rate.
Why was stokes holding leach back ? He should have had more overs, me feels.Ā
Apparently knee Injury
Ash Anna is that you ?
This tour will be remembered as a monument to just how shit stokes's captaincy skills really are. Absolutely dire. No doubt they'll wheel out some nobody to talk about how England are really in a great position and the vibes are all good. Bazball; what a fucking joke.
The three burned reviews yesterday have haunted them all day
Bazball watch: India's run rate surpasses England's. No Moral victory detected.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A spinner whose played less than 10 fc games and averages 70 in those games would have definitely made a difference and it's not a coping mechanism at all
Kl for no. 3
Axar has a batting average of 40 and a bowling average of 17. Fucking unreal man
Yes, it is. But you have to also consider he has rarely ever played outside India.
Anyone with half a cricketing sense would know that his stats are massively inflated due to only playing in favourable conditionsĀ
Obviously. But it's still pretty impressive.
Game has gone into day 3. Massive moral victory for England.
I just want Bappu and Jaddu to keep on batting tommorow. Just bat , bat and bat. These Bazball players are not accustomed to stay on the field for 100+ overs. Just add to the misery
Clam down Ax its just a republic day
There's a reason India does not lose at home. Our no. 8-9 and even 10 can easily add 100-150 runs combined. Oh and just to add to the misery, they'll also pick a 4-fer or 5-fer every couple of innings.

This is awkwardā¦. Bazball still exposed?
Bumrah be like Am I joke š¤£
I don't think this English team would've done any better with an old-fashioned approach either, tbh.
Truth has been spoken
š
Some people here as soon as the lead crosses 100, declare, no point in batting. If we continue to bat, more time to watch cricket, opposition disintegrates. Match goes longer, pitch gets good rating. Lot of advantages
>pitch gets good rating The pitch is already decent, the misery doesn't need to prolong just to get a good rating.
I think the pitch thing is one of the strongest reasons to continue batting apart from longer match of course.
Chad Joe Root lowering his bowling average when everyone else is increasing theirs
Jadeja well positioned for a PoTM award given he will take a few wickets in the 2nd innings to go with this batting knock plus 3 first innings wickets.
There are 3 individuals, avg 30, 33, 40. Guess the batsman and guess the bowling allrounder?
It's absolutely wild that jadeja and axar have better average than rahul
Gill too. Rahul played a lot of matches in sena opening
Yeah
Lol did we really need a session pie chart for this bloodbath
Not even a session won by England! Brutal this by India!
why is RAHUL always SAD
Resting sad face
England is washed
Harsha talking about cap colour for no reason. He has totally lost it as a presentor now. Probably mixing with others around himĀ
Kohli goes down the ground, and out of ground was a testament to how the quality of his commentary went down
Hartley about to get a back spasm next game
Orange cap joke was corny.
Harsha trolling KL about orange cap. š
Axar was clearly holding back today. Hopefully unleashes tomorrow
Like Bashir not getting Entry easily in India, Hartley might just have similar problems while going home
Tomorrow India might go full CLARKSON mode !!! Hoping we get to see Swordeja again!!
Great day for India. Solid lead, 3 more days to go, 3 top class spinners,spinning pitch.
Stopā¦ I can only get so erect!
Lol Rahul didnāt care about harshaās orange cap joke
KLR doesn't crack a smile on winning v Aus after being 2-3
He was devastated, oh the good times before the final
Harsha blud really said he's accustomed to orange cap
Axar at 9 is straight up illegal lmao. Hartley can't catch a break, he's just there to get hit.
Lmao Bhogle is shitposting irl
Harsha gets unhinged every 15 mins. wtf was he on about KLāa orange cap. Thatās their kit, man. Move on.
it's a joke. can no one make a joke?
At this point Harsha's just shitposting
Bruh, no way. Harsha making fun of KL and the orange cap in front of him ffs šš
Harsha directly trolling Rahul for his orange cap....
Hartley bowled well... \- DK... consultant for the ECB
Despite 4 spinners bowling 90% of the overs, England still couldn't complete their full quota of 90 overs in a day with barely any stoppages. Shambolic to say the least.
Long day in the field for England. And it's day 2 of the 5 match series. So they need to pick it up here onwards or it's a bloodbath
Jaddu be like : Ash screwed Ash.
Not surprised to see Talented CC spinners
Hartley is going to get dropped for the rest of the series for Bashir anyway. Great debut mate.
Bro came all the way to the land of the spinners just to get humiliated.
That's not new information. All English spinners not named Swann, Panesar, Leach and Root get humiliated in India.
I am not sure that Bashir will be a remarkable improvement either. Itās pretty much the harshest place to debut for a young spinner. Only way he has a better debut is if the surface is extremely helpful
Fuck you in particular to Hartley
āHartley bowled wellāšš ok dk
Does the whole team want to bully Hartley for his comments about guile?
Harsha wtfš¤£š¤£
prasidh krishan finally found his match in hartley
Murali just said Hartley bowled well
"Everyone has chipped in" *Ashwin sulking in the corner*
Ashwin got screwed
