    England's tour of India - 2021

    Yes. But this time he showed some semblance of maturity by building his innings before going beserk. Disagree he was out only for glory. This was a team knock as it produced what India needed to win and wrap the series. I have a question how does India and England get to play so many tests and...

    England's tour of India - 2021

    I think Pant and "George" Washington have torpedoed Australia's chance for the WTC. Impressed by Pants ton.. showed the maturity I had been calling for. He will be a huge asset for India going forward.

    England's tour of India - 2021

    This was no dust bowl so why were the spectators dudded with only a two day game. The spin play from both sides was as bad as I have seen in recent times. As bad as Australia in Sri Lanka about five years ago. They needed to be nimble on their feet to either play back or forward.. not just plonk...

    Agree. I said same and got shot down in flames by our Indian friends. Both Gill & Pant lack a test standard technique as well as concentration. Pant is the worst of the two.

    Because he speaks his mind and does not hold back fearing a backlash. I like Vaughan.. always have since his days as England skipper. I look forward to him coming to Oz to commentate now too.

    Not only Indians. As above comments by our skipper clearly show. You are playing a sport where your emotions can get the better of you.. that is "in the heat of the moment". Tim realized he had overstepped the line by setting a poor example as a captain and felt bad after. I am sure he never...

    SaiSrini said: Because there's just too many folks in India who follow cricket and follow it with passion. The trolling of Vaughan's comments about the pitch, has been pretty rough in these past few days. But you guys can take heart from the fact that there were lots of trolls on Tim Paine...

    England's tour of India - 2021

    These pitches are sub standard to anyone other than sub continentals. Indians cut their teeth on these decks.. so goes to show that they are as familiar with them as their kid brother. Poms are weened on grassy tracks under leaden skies.. so they know them while Aussies know little other than...

    Prior surprises me too. Where did you garner the stats. Be interested to see any others.. perhaps Brad Haddin. We talking Test or white ball? Just in case any here downplay Gilly's Test keeping record. 416 dismissals.. 379 catch 37 stumped. By comparison Rod Marsh 355 dismissals and...

    What is this debate about CerealKiller? We know how brilliant Gilly was with the willow but his record with the gloves will surprise many.

    Great ton Ash. Looking at this shocker of a deck I'd have never envisaged anyone was able to score a century on it.. but Ash defied all logic. Pommies certainly did not need to lost those three late wickets with their chances now of saving this game evaporating fast. Still Root is there and in...

    England's tour of India - 2021

    No doubt you have seen more of him than I as he has likely played much of his cricket on your shores where he averages a whopping @83 but a measly @22 abroad. The fact he has only played 36 Tests since his 2013 debut tells me he has never cemented his spot due to his inconsistency over his lack...

    Rohit is not unique.. Stokes is the same for one. Tho the Indian has a far superior Test and FC average. Wasn't Seywag also in the Rohit mould. Smacked 100s at almost a run a ball.

    Not a good start by the hosts. Kohli will not like his execution. Tried to impose himself too early. He seemed shocked by the turn Ali imparted on the ball.

    Find it odd that Stone, with one Test two years ago, preferred over the more experienced Woakes. 1613193285 Gill will learn that you dont leave a pitched up new cherry.
