The Cricket Thread

[Dinowolf]

10 overs gone for 31-1 and Broad and Anderson were a bit scattergun.
Too wide too often and luckily Gill got himself out, when there has been little danger for the batsmen.

 

[Carrotdude]

Yeah it doesn’t look like bowling first was particularly sensible here

 

[Dinowolf]

Sensible or not we need to bowl better

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Could do with having four seamers. Not sure putting a second spell into Anderson to avoid bowling yourself as captain is a good idea.

Crawley drops Vihari in the slips off Potts

 

[Dinowolf]

Pujara gone 13

[Dinowolf]

Vihari gone 20

64-3

 

[Carrotdude]

Potts looks a very solid bowler

 

[Dinowolf]

Kohli gone 11

71-4

b Potts

 

[Dinowolf]

Potts got a bit excited and lost his discipline with the last 4 balls of his over.

 

[Carrotdude]

Potts is just feeding the new guy drive balls now, which is weird when he’s bowled so well until now

 

[Dinowolf]

Shreyas Iyer gone 15

98-5

terrific keeper's catch

 

[Dinowolf]

Leach coming on to Pant and Jadeja. Brave move.

7 off the only over, for change of ends.

 

[Carrotdude]

Leach experiment was a mistake. Maybe the captain should actually bowl?

 

[Dinowolf]

We've had difficulty with Pant over a long period.
We still don't know how to get him out.

 

[Dinowolf]

100 partnership

 

[Dinowolf]

England found out previously that Jadeja is vulnerable to really quick short balls, Archer/Woods etc..

Our quickest bowler is Stokes who can bowl at high 80s. I think he should at least try it.

 

[Carrotdude]

Getting absolutely destroyed now.
