Cricket: International Discussion Thread

Really good stuff from England and Jonny Bairstow in particular. Let him get all of this devastating batting out of the way before we arrive on their shores, haha.

Let NZ give him false confidence. I am sure the proteas will have better plans. NZ have bowled too wide at him.
 
83.5
Broad to Bumrah, SIX, 34 runs off the over and the Indian dressing room is loving it. Kohli and Co. are clapping and smiling and replaying every shot. Short and around leg-stump, Bumrah gets inside the line and helps it along the way to long leg. He struck that flat and clean
83.4
Broad to Bumrah, FOUR, Bumrah is playing a captain's knock here. He like Pant falls over playing the big shot. Short and venomless, Bumrah pulls in front of square and loses his balance. More importantly it is in the gap and races to the deep mid-wicket fence
83.3
Broad to Bumrah, FOUR, massive over, 24 runs. Still three balls left. Good length ball around off, Bumrah slogs across the line and the inside edge escapes past the stumps, races to the fine leg fence
83.2
Broad to Bumrah, FOUR, this is ridiculous bowling from an experienced bowler. He attempts the yorker but dishes out a juicy full toss, Bumrah swings it over mid-on and almost sends it the distance
83.2
Broad to Bumrah, no ball, SIX, this is poor bowling. Broad continues with the short ball and Bumrah takes it on, the top-edge flies right over the keeper and the pace on the ball takes it all the way. What's worse is that Broad has also overstepped
83.2
Broad to Bumrah, 5 wides, bonus runs for India. Bouncer which is too short and flies over Bumrah, even Billings had no chance of gloving that
83.1
Broad to Bumrah, FOUR, Crawley is being teased near the fine leg rope. He stopped a six a couple of overs ago and this one goes through his hands. Bumrah takes on the short ball and top-edges it, Crawley runs to his left and slides but the ball escapes through his hands
 
Himanshu: @Sanjay Navin I honestly enjoy watching India playing in SENA countries more now. Arguably, India have really dominated the test format for recent history, except the SA Series.
 
Stokes dropped twice ... third time not so lucky.

Thakur to Stokes, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Thakur to Stokes, no run, dropped again! Bumrah - the culprit this time around.


ENG 149/6
 
So 378 for England to win. Doable? Well if Stokes, Root and Bairstow come off, they should definitely get home. But they will need help from the rest of the top order and I suspect the Indian bowlers will be more than fired up to ensure that doesn't happen. Should be a good day and half's cricket.
