That's the game. If the old ball is still playing like it was last night do India keep it and just try & use pressure to force wickets or gamble on the new ball. It's now either a great win for England or a game they've thrown away with sloppy catching etc

Problem is England fans will turn up pretty much regardless of the opposition. Indian Test crowds are well down as are Australian Test crowds against "smaller" teams. Our 2024 tour of India was mainly played at "smaller" venues rather than the main grounds because of lack of interest. South...

Can't talk directly to the player. So they talk with agents/3rd parties. Bit of a farce.

New ball at 80 overs. They're in the 76th now.

Going to depend on how the tail deal with the new ball. But it's still about mentality and heart. Smith has to stay in.

take the light and regroup. New ball just around the corner.

ridiculous. All the time in the world and he runs down the wicket. He needs more red ball and less white ball

Bethell just got to show a little maturity here - 20/25 not out and the game is done.

That's a great drive from Lando. Great battle. That;s just like Ferrari of recent years - great straight line speed but nothing else

That's a great drive from Lando. Great battle.

all about whether they can get Wood, Archer Atkinson & Stokes fit for the majority of the series. Most of our batsmen like the ball coming onto the bat it's just how well they handle the short ball.

152 runs they cost. No-one but themsleves to blame if they lose this one - even with Woakes injury

wife's best friend has got 25 wedding anniversary party so can't attend today's race. Selfish bollocks :) Fortunately her husband is an F1 fan and has a ridiculously huge tv so we're all watching whilst the women are messing about in the garden.

that's why we've got to be a bit sensible. They've only got 3 quicks so got to make them bowl a lot of overs

Hmm who does Pope play for ?????????????????

trying the reverse psychology. Picking Overton & Bethall when they've played next to no red ball cricket in this year is ridiculous. Overton seems a classic Surrey-bias pick especially as it's his "home" pitch but he's only played two red ball games at the Oval in the last 2 years and bowled...

https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/are-you-happy.103017/ maybe it's time to re-energise this thread. People did listen and cared.

RIP Matt. It's genuinely heart-breaking when you see these. I don't think this is the first instance on SBT. For those thinking they need help check this link and realise you're really not alone and far too many men are in similar situations Doncaster: 'I wouldn't be here without Andy's Man...

They're a batsman down and down to a 3 bowler pace attack. India are offering up plenty of free runs so absolutely no need to do it.

"Atkinson now boasts an average of 21, the fourth best for an England seamer with fifty or more dismissals, and the second best strike rate, ever, at 34.9, for those who have taken 60 wickets." Going to need a lot of runs and then Tongue & Overton to bowl a lot better in 2nd innings (god knows...
