TDK's International Test Cricket Update's

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Is Joe Root the bighest tosser in world cricket?

[am Bays]

He’s the best ever in English conditions though, just unbelievable skill.

I’ll take Malcolm Marshall Glen McGrath and Dennis’s Lillee thanks

All have better averages and strike rates McGrath best of the lot s/r 10 balls better than Anderson and 6 run better average.

Anderson is a very good bowler in England but he ain’t the best

Fair argument. McGrath did get the luxury of bowling to awful English batting sides though McGrath is the best pace bowler I've seen followed by Steyn. I didn't see the older generation so can't judge that.

[Senor Moto Gadili]

India won't make a hundred. Tail won't wag this time.

India won't make a hundred. Tail won't wag this time.

India lost their last 4 wickets for just 11 runs so no, the tail definitely didn't wag this time lol.
India all out for 78! (Their lowest total in England since 1952)
Anderson 3/6 from 8
Overton 3/14 from 10.4
Robinson 2/16 from 10

[The Dark Knight]

Headingly Overcast, dukes ball a very very good bowler

165 tests 628 wickets average 26.5 s/r 56 balls
England 94 tests 399 wickets average 23.5 sr 50 balls

Australia 18 tests 60 wickets average 35 s/r 72 balls
Australia 2010-11 5 tests 24 wickets 26 average s/r 53 balls

I hope he plays all 5 tests apart from one series here he’s been ordinary.

I’m only concerned about Adelaide

Take out his 07 stats and he has decent stats In Australia. He was by far our best bowler last series here, averaged 27 at a great economy rate. Problem is they just sit on him as the of rest our guys are useless here, such as broad who has been awful in Australia. He’s the best ever in English conditions though, just unbelievable skill.

Just on Jimmy playing in England- This is his 94th test match in England, equalling Tendulkar (who played 94 in India) with the most test matches played in a country.

[The Dark Knight]

England v India, third test stumps day one.
What a day!
England finishes at 0/120, with a lead of 42.
Hameed 60*
Burns 52*
This is England's highest opening stand since Hameed's debut against India in 2016 when he put on 180 with Alastair Cook.

The sun was shining brightly at Headingly when the man they falsely call 'Clouderson' bowled: 3/6 off 8 overs. Not exactly bad figures for a guy who 'can only bowl in overcast conditions'.

[Lightning McQueen]

Just on Jimmy playing in England- This is his 94th test match in England, equalling Tendulkar (who played 94 in India) with the most test matches played in a country.

That's an amazing effort considering he's an opening bowler, we rag out on Poms for being soft or weak but our Aussie paceman are lucky to play 2 years straight without succumbing to some sort of injury.

[tigerpie]

This Indian team should be swabbed.
Granted England bowled well, but poking away outside off with the ball swinging large is crazy.
Then Ishant opens the bowling and bowls short and wipe tripe with the new ball.
The POM's certainly had some luck playing and missing the good balls.

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Just mentioned on the commentary that the England players are wearing black armbands to honour Ted Dexter, who has passed away. RIP Ted.

[The Dark Knight]

Day two progress score- England 2/275, lead by 197.
Root 67*
Malan 60*
Hameed 68
Burns 61

England in total command and I suspect they will look to bat all day today obviously and then for as long as possible, maybe all day tomorrow to build a massive lead and tire out the Indian bowlers.

This is the first time all of England's top four have all made 50 or more since March 2013.

[The Dark Knight]

England v India, stumps day two.
England 8/423, lead by 345.
Root 121 (His 6th hundred for 2021 and 23rd overall going level with Kevin Pietersen)
Malan 70
Shami 3/87

[locky801]

Thought they may have declared and had 5 overs at India before stumps, reckon they have enough already

[The Dark Knight]

India currently 1/95, trail by 259.
Rohit 50*
Pujara 32*
Both batsmen are well set and just plodding along at the moment.

[The Dark Knight]

England v India, stumps day three.
India staging a comeback! They are 2/215 and trail by 139.
Pujara 91*
