India V England 2021 Tour

Even if England were to complain about the pitch I doubt very much if anything would happen to make it worthwhile nor could the result be altered. While bizarre as it was tpo lose a test match in two days we lost because of poor batting. While we may complain about pitches abroad how often do we hear complaints from other countries about pitches for Test matches in this country?

Surely pitches should be prepared to offer even support to both batsmen and bowler for at least three days before turning one way or another. It would be very hard to prove if that pitch was prepeared to favour Indian bowlers more than visiting batsmen.

4th test.
England win toss and bat.

I'm off to hide behind the sofa

England bowled out for 205 .

India 4-1. Gill out in the first over of the Indian reply.

Once again England lose their top order quickly and end up 205 all out! Anderson takes a wicket in the first over of India’s reply.

Shambolic England batting again, Pope unlucky and to cap it all Stokes has the shits!

India 80/4 at lunch.
Hmmmmmm.

We have been totally out classed today yet again the Indian batsmen have shown us that the pitch is ok if you have the skill,
I would say we have the worst top 3 we have had in the last 10 years all 3 look completely out of their depth, this is the problem with covid cricket they can't drop them and bring new people in as should happen as they are not in the bubble ,

Dismal England.

Just dismal.

Snooks tuts and shuffles off to make a coffee

Bairstow out first ball. Is that 3 ducks in 2 matches.
He's gone through quantine for an average of 9 runs.
Even Root went back to a pitched up ball.

we may have home advantage this summer - I do however think the Indians will be hard pushed to be beaten away from home...
