Sport Cricket - Summer 2021

I’m not sure Kohli refused to walk today, and just felt he couldn’t believe he was playing at something he’d normally let go at the start of his innings. I think that’s 4 ducks for him now against England when you include the series in India earlier this year.

Sibley it might feel I’m constantly having a pop at him, but them chances when they come in the slips you’ve got to take them. Catches win matches!

Given the weather forecast and match situation, I’d take a draw

So would I. You know things are bad though when your desperate for a couple of days rain and bad light.

another wicket , Robinson claimed Pant's scalp- in between downpours .... cmon England skittle the rest of Indias batting order

 

[Sarge]

Robinson & Anderson now have 4 wickets apiece in the first test- 1 more to go, cmon England

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Complete inability to mop up the tail, as so often. I think this last wicket stand has taken the game right away from us.

 

[SteMerritt]

All over. 278 and a deficit of 95. Now the terror begins, the England openers about to take up the fight...

 

[ZeroTheHero]

What do we reckon when the score are level? Five down?

Probably. Will the game still be going in the 4th day?

...or collapse part 2

first Test fifer for Robinson wasn't it?

Four down and men out will be (with Root still there going along ok):

Burns 8 (28)
Sibley 5 (33)
Crawley 1 (10)
Bairstow 44 (61)

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

The emergence of Ollie Robinson is looking like pretty much the only positive at the moment…

You are expecting Sibley to treble his normal scoring rate?

Extras are killing it...

He has certainly cemented his place for the series.

Undroppable, unlike the catches today...

Oh …

Extras in England’s first innings scored more than the whole West Indies team in their second innings!

Oh …

Pah, 60 extras is nothing! This was a few weeks ago in the County Championship (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKO50016)



And it was recent England wicket keeper James Bracey that conceded those 48 byes. The top score by a Gloucs batsman in their first innings was 47.
