42 overs and we have a ball change, it’s farcical.

Why can’t they make balls that last for eighty overs anymore?
I don’t remember it being a problem in the past.
It’s not like this one has been bashed about much.
Stuart Broad was discussing it on his podcast the other day and he said the same thing, up until about four years ago before covid time there was never an issue and he had no memories of asking for a ball to be changed. Makes you think something must have changed in the manufacturing process.
Pope losing his wicket after a break in play, quelle surprise.
Some spin on day one, potential another big test of Bashir fourth innings if the game is set up that way.
This business with the ball is getting ridiculous.
Do we have yellow cards and red cards yet in cricket…1st set of wingeing =yellow…2nd set = red…send the yappy git off…

Think Siraj just did the 20 and point skywards when he too that wicket I’m assuming that’s for Jota
And then you have Gill after the 9th wicket fell being seen to by the physios for ten minutes just to loosen him up a bit, could have easily have moved over the boundary rope and let the game continue. So much time wasted.

Just don’t think he’s that big a fan of football. Don’t go overreaching.
He’s a dumbfuck. Siraj that is.
The only indian cricketer who’s a fan of Liverpool is Kuldeep.
He’s pretty knowledgable on the sport too.
Evenly poised Test at the moment.

Once again, Bumrah is the difference.
I’d say there was little difference here currently.
I’d say advantage India due to England’s bowling.
As I said the game is evenly poised

The idiocy the ball notwithstanding

I’d have been laughing at Gill’s face the entire time he was ranting. The little prick thinks everyone is supposed to kowtow to him now that he’s the Indian captain. Also his frankly childish remonstrating at the umpires about the replacement ball not being as good as the old one.
The only one was working, why did you change it?
