Off Topic England cricket 2021

Yes I think all these bubbles over the past year will take their toll, not being with your family, media glare etc. Makes each home series seem like an away one, they also play so much cricket these days it's hardly surprising players need some time off to recharge their batteries

 

Poor start again.
Burns a duck in 1st over.
37 - 1 after 17

 

136/3 Root has just got his 50

 

3 ducks from 6 down.
Bring back Boycott

 

Update.
4 ducks from 8 down
Bring back Gower

 

183 all out.
Disgraceful.
Bring back Bell

 

India all out for 278.
95 lead.
Robinson 5-85.

Need a lot more application to get anything out of this situation

 

Rain will probably be the winner.

 

No rain so far.
119-2 @ lunch.
Root 56 no.

 

252 - 6
Root 101 no

 

First session rained out today

 

Not looking good for any play today

 

Match abandoned as a draw.
Should be a good series

 

Root, Robinson and Anderson are the only Englishmen that came out well from that, Bunrah and Rahul the stand out figures for the Indians. England need to sharpen up if they are going to stand any chance against the Australians!

 

As I was saying Bure.

 

Stuart Broad will miss England's second Test against India, which starts on Thursday, with James Anderson a doubt.

Broad, 35, has a calf problem, with fears he will not only miss the Lord's Test but further matches after that.

Anderson, 39, has a quad muscle niggle, on which England expect more information later on Wednesday.

Lancashire's Saqib Mahmood has been called up as cover, with Mark Wood and Craig Overton are other pace-bowling options in the squad.

The series is level at 0-0 after the first Test at Trent Bridge was drawn.

That's all we effing need

 

Anderson was indeed fit - India 77-0

 

157 - 2 @tea
Anderson both wickets

 

339-7 A better first session today!

 

Anderson (who else) take 5 with India bowled out for 364. England start at glacial pace in reply and reach 23 -0 at tea
