India vs England

[Emu]

Finding this team very frustrating.

The arrogance of bazball has gone too far in my opinion. We only seem to know one way to play, and that is in 5th gear.

Here's a novel idea, why not try to hold out for a draw, give less of the reckless shot making, and go into the next test with something to play for?

 

[Steve Evans]

Despite the Indians being excellent the manner of this defeat is inexcusable.

 

[Alan Turing]

I like the positivity of Bazball but there is a time and a place for everything, and this situation was neither.

 

[Bernie Bernbaum]

Bazball looking a bit silly now.

Asked about a realistic target in the fourth innings, Ben Duckett replied: "The more the better." 😀

 

[BDW]

I’m confused apart from Mark Wood, why played Bazball in the second innings? I think Dan Lawrence deserves a run in the side.

England win the toss and will bat first

Rehan Ahmed, England's 19-year-old legspinner, is leaving India for personal reasons.
