The stats for you.
Nah. Should have been much better.
Don’t get me wrong.
My fav indian batsman (current) to watch is Rohit Sharma.
But his performances in tests have been middling.
Obviously a very good player, but extremely unlikeable.
Who will Indian advertisers turn to now?
Great player, his test record has been in decline for a while now though. A bit of a reset for the Indian test side with Rohit, Kohli and Ashwin all going in quick succession, can’t imagine Jadeja and Shami will be far behind.
I actually didn’t mind his on field behaviour, the kind of player you love to hate but cricket has been a hit devoid of any sort of controversial characters in recent times. All these blokes playing in T20 leagues together has taken a bit of the edge off of certain series.
again a liability in tests. Has been so for a very long time.
Not much of a contest so far this test match
No. It’s a one day slog, declare and see what happens. To be fair the pitch has been bland.
All eleven might get 100s here
It’s Zimbabwe.
Even our Joe Gomez!
I bet Darwin would manage to find a way to get a duck
Hit wicket
Well Root only got 34
Root out!!!
Give him a lifetime contract for Ashes series
And the Zimmies won the toss. Good call.
Credit to Brian Bennett, played a bit of a lone hand there but looks like a really decent prospect for Zimbabwe. England enforce the follow on as expected and as they should, a good test for these bowlers now to go ahead and wrap this game up.
I think it’s fair to say Sam Cook has not taken his chance. As suspected his lack of pace is an issue.
1 test wonder?
with it only being listed as a 4 day match is it an actual test?
