Formby Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 I'm actually getting bored of these big scores. India 397 for 4. The wicket is just so flat. Long for the days when 250 was a challenging score. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't so much long for lower scoring games but, as I've said before, there just haven't been enough close games where it's actually entertaining and a contest. If you're not even getting that in a World Cup semi-final something's wrong. Hopefully we'll get one tomorrow. Formby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formby Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Fantastic display from the Aussie bowlers. India all out 240. It's now on Bumrah and Shami to produce something magical for the hosts. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Stunning win and it'll give the side even more belief in their positive play. Without that we don't get the win after the first two innings where India were well on top. Massive congratulations to Hartley - he was taken to the cleaners in India's first innings but then tore through them in their second.

MikeO Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Astonishing win, historic. We were beaten after two days then turned it on its head; taking the last three India wickets for no runs on day three was crucial in the end, they could've easily added 40/50 and it would've been gone.

They'd never lost in India when having a lead of over 100 in the first innings. I think what I've most enjoyed about it all is the way Indian fans got all cocky after the batting innings and have been desperate to have reason to ridicule 'Bazzball'... now they're just crying . Incidentally, I find how many people are angry about Bazball a bit bizarre. Not once have England or their staff said that's what we're playing (they've been at pains to distance themselves from that label if anything) and yet it's the ones that have actually coined the phrase that are the most offended by it .
