SA v IND is only two tests ?? disgraceful - they really are phasing the pinnacle of cricket out aren't they . NO test series should be less than 3 games
#SAvIND
australians in my notifications thoroughly enjoying england losing in india , as though they haven't lost their last 5 series there is mildly amusing .
#INDvENG
just to let everyone know that doesn't understand . if england played a traditional style of test match cricket this series so far - they'd be 3-0 down . absolutely no doubt . pope's reverse sweeps & scoops were an integral part of his match winning innings
#INDvENG
in his final 40 tests - graham thorpe averaged 55 .
the winter of 2000/01 in pakistan & sri lanka -
553 runs @ 61.50
not sure i've seen an english bat play better on a winter tour considering conditions / opponents .
great player
if i was an indian i'd be absolutely apoplectic at the dross surface served up to them today . when you see how the game panned out it was basically win toss bowl decently win game . i said from ball one that ground is not fit to host world cup cricket never mind the final ๐คทโโ๏ธ
bullshit โฌ๏ธ- there's no way team india were losing that game because of kohli "selfishness" . why not send the crowd home delighted to see their idol score a ton in a world cup . a real "i was there moment" for the punekars . had they bowled 5 wides that's a proper cu*nts trick
If Kohli is turning down singles with 7 wickets in hand and 10 overs left purely so he can get a century, I'd bowl 5 wides down the leg side if I'm a Bangladesh bowler. No more nonsense from any cricketer big or small about "I play for the team."
@cricket_badger
He wouldnt average 30 in the 1990s. Utter garbage. Not a patch on Atherton, Tres, Hick, Ramps, Thorpe. I think I'd score runs against this shite era of test cricket, Aus and Ind aside.
i was just asked to rank the top 10 cricketers i've seen and this is what i've come up with . thoughts ?
1 S.K. Warne
2 S.R. Tendulkar
3 B.C. Lara
4 J.H. Kallis
5 I.V.A Richards
6 M.D. Marshall
7 G.D. McGrath
8 W. Akram
9 R.T. Ponting
10 C.E.L. Ambrose
- 85(116) vs Australia.
- 55*(56) vs Afghanistan.
- 16(18) vs Pakistan.
- 103*(97) vs Bangladesh.
- 95(104) vs New Zealand.
The dream World Cup for King Kohli - he is just unstoppable, the GOAT ๐

i see a few "harry brook is scared of india spinners" nonsense from a minority of indian fans this morning . if there is a less scared batter of any situation in world cricket - it's probably harry brook . idiotic notion . hope all works out ok for harry ๐
#INDvENG
Sachin Tendulkar was such a statpadder, who couldn't able to score runs while facing quality bowlers like Pollock, Mcgrath, Anderson, Akram, Etc!
For E.g, this happen when he faced Mcgrath and Pollock in ODIs๐คก
& Virat Kohli has dominated best bowlers of his generation ๐
i'm not putting anyone in bumrah's class . put everyone down below that . with a lot of respect to a lot of good bowlers , we're talking about jasprit bumrah .

roll call at 3:55 am for those living in britain & ireland . don't care about your life situation - if not up , you are not elite ๐ also if india win the toss and you go back to bed that's even worse than not being up - one of life's losers
imagine being not only the most ridiculously talented leg spinner but also one of the sharpest cricket brains ever - sk warne best cricketer of my lifetime . no doubt about it
england mentally cooked and india simply too good at home . thoroughly enjoyed the series , some of the skills on show were off the scale . england will regroup and come back strong at home this summer , absolutely no doubt .

for all the stick he's getting today for expressing an opinion let me give mine - Richard Keys & Andy Gray were the best football presenter / analysis combination sky ever had , or ever will have . the golden years of premier league football .
what a day for england - need another tomorrow . quite brilliant series so far , test match cricket at it's absolute best ! what value england are for the punter . who's with me at 3:55 AM sharp !
#INDvENG
absolutely no way was that hitting the stumps full ball . faulty ball tracker i'm afraid there does for crawley . questionable as to whether it pitched on leg . didn't look right and the surprise of India fielders speaks volumes
#INDvENG
congrats to all my good indian friends on the win . the makings of a great series . we've seen enough from england to know they're going to be more than competitive , especially if they win a couple more tosses but need root fit and in form . game on rajkot
#INDvENG
i can watch 7 hours test cricket a day but 10 mins tennis loses me . it's just the same thing all the time , bash bosh bash . no characters like mcenroe
Bad umpiring and bad rules cost Pakistan this game..
@ICC
should change this rule .. if the ball is hitting the stump thatโs out whether umpire gave out or not out doesnโt matter.. otherwise what is the use of technology???

final thought for the night - 2 years ago today we lost the greatest cricketer i've seen . shane keith warne
how lucky were we to see him . he destroyed england many times yet couldn't help but like the guy and admire his outrageous talent . RIP
the best and worst of test cricket on offer today
NZ v sri lanka - outstanding game , great pitch , superb cricket ground
ind v aus - rubbish game , horrific pitch , awful stadium

after the orange army's disgrace last night , today's

offering is the royal chutiyas of the garden city v the kabbadi track merchants of chepauk , in a game where the only positive is one will lose .

frank i used to think exactly the same . but suffering bereavement myself this year , i put a few words on here , and it helped a lot . people cope in different ways there is no right or wrong
today was the hardest day of my life but we got through it surrounded by family & friends . we did her proud . thanks to all for the messages of support , very much appreciated x
my mother passed away last night . she was beautiful , strong , a bit fiery at times but always a heart of gold . she will be sorely missed . heartbroken ๐

need to behave now the best england captain i've seen is following ... although that position is under serious threat from the current incumbent
#INDvENG
india spinners opening the bowling - 776 test wkts
england spinners opening the bowling - 84 test wkts
and that there in lies the difference between the sides in these conditions
