The England Cricket Thread

Shambles from England as per. I can't see them getting anything but a loss on this test which will give India a big advantage going into the final test.

I just don't get how they can go from 750 runs in the first test, to 300 runs in the second test, to what's likely to be a lot less than 300 for test three. It's absolutely embarrassing.
 
Come out with a bit of confidence this morning it seems. But yeah they've thought the pitch would more suit seamers with the pink ball, but it's a dry barren desert yet again it seems.

It isnt exactly turning either. Some poor shot selection from batsmen on both sides. Most of the wickets have fallen to non turning deliveries :D.
 
Root and Sibley both double centuries, then knock 'em over in two sessions.

I have to say Nitin Menon appears to be a top umpire.

It's simply not a test wicket. Having said that England are just not up to it.

But the fact the test could be over in under two full days does the game no favours.

This is embarassing and whoever prepared the pitch should be shot. Is there any punishment in the international arena like there is in County?
