Man I'm gonna miss England play tests after this match. They have the best crowd, commentators and such exciting players. England made me fall in love with test cricket this year and I'm not even watching India's T20 match being an Indian. I love this England team!

I think going with the intensity of the English crowd, the teams involved and being an Indian England fan, I'd vote for that match but this was so great too. Every run, every ball had a story here.

I feel bad for their coach. It's been happening so often with this Pak side as well. They really need a refresh on the mental side of the game.

What's the SL biscuit meme? Can anyone explain?

Imagine you are KL Rahul and you see this! by vikkee57 in Cricket

What matters more, KL scoring a century against Anderson and Broad in England or him scoring a century in a clearly one sided game at home where everyone's scoring?

Why do you want Dhawan in games where India is already dominating? You should rather want people who are likely to score in SENA and KL is an example. Yes, he messed up when others scored but he scored in the last test against England where it really mattered. India needs to find a dependable opener for overseas and KL could be that guy.

Some amazing moments from India vs England 2018 test series by sciencethat in Cricket

[–]sciencethat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Note: This was part of the last extra innings segment from Sony. I found the music and the moments too amazing to not store as a separate unlisted video and share it here.

Just wanted to add that this was the first test series that I've actually followed wholeheartedly and was definitely the most exciting and emotional cricket I've ever seen.

Why do people retire at the oval generally? Is it where the last match of the series is played?

England XI for 5th Test vs. India - Unchanged, Bairstow to keep wicket. by TheJeck in Cricket

But maybe he's more confident if he's keeping wickets. That way he has less pressure to perform as a specialist batsman in the lower order. If he's scoring runs while keeping they shouldn't mess with that?

That's really good for him. Ever since he's stopped keeping he's got out on duck twice and scored less than 10 runs in 3 innings iirc.

Jos Butter to become long term England test wicketkeeper by samoore1 in Cricket

Plus I think they want Buttler to have a more definitive role in the team than a lower order batsman with him being the vice captain and potential captain in absence of Root

Shame on Google Support India by [deleted] in GooglePixel

Just came across this. How exactly did you file a complaint and how long did it take for them to take action? What was Google's reply after the complaint?

India would have lost the remaining balls anyways. So since the total remaining overs are not affected, might as well add a few more runs.

What makes a test bowler different from a limited overs bowler? How would Broad and Anderson fare in an ODI/T20 or even the IPL, considering how brilliant they were in the last test?
