England tour of India (5 Tests)

[Bigby Wolf]

Oh dear! What an anticlimax that.

But poor guy has himself to be blamed for.

No balls are just pure sins in cricket.

And the debutant emulates Bumrah by taking a wicket of a no-ball!

 

[asprin]

Would have been a terrific wicket if not for that no ball. If he goes wicketless this innings, he would be the only one to blame.

 

[icyman]

Poor poor cricket! Completely unacceptable at this level. Wonder, why Indian cricket doesn't institute Bharat Arun at the NCA to prep the forthcoming crop of pace bowlers!

What an over from Crawley. Was thinking it was looking like a slow start. Things changed quickly.

 

[asprin]

lol Siraj getting blasted after that no-ball reprieve. England seem to have seen off the tough period.

 

[Bevab]

This seems like a lottery pitch already. Can only imagine how much worse it could get.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

I can see why they've picked Akash. Right down to his action, getting Shami 2.0 vibes.

 

[icyman]

Duckett dismissed! Seemed quite tentative today. Rather unlike his usual self.

 

[Bevab]

I can see why they've picked Akash. Right down to his action, getting Shami 2.0 vibes.

The man’s channeling a lot of Shami indeed.

Might as well hand Ishan Porel a debut next to complete the Bengali invasion of the Indian pace attack.

 

[Bevab]

DK is an utter moron for crediting RCB’s scouting for ‘finding’ Akash Deep as a young bowler 2-3 years ago when he would have been 24 years old.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

The no ball might cost India big time I feel.

 

[icyman]

Guess, India isn't the only one who fizzles against new bowlers!

 

[Bigby Wolf]

The no ball might cost India big time I feel.

 

[Bevab]

What I do like about Akash Deep is that he can also bat a bit. It’s nothing crazy to the extent of a Cummins or Starc but it’s much better than the likes of Siraj and Mukesh.
