Hope at least now this boring overhyped game of cricket will get a back seat among Indian sports

Sack Ravi Shastri for losing yet another test which we should have won. The score should have been 3-1 in India's favour. This track needed some reshuffle in the batting order. Defending was only delaying the inevitable. Attacking at the top with a pinch hitter like Pant would have pressurised England.

Yes, of course.

India should have been the most developed and least corrupt country in the world. It is only because of some small slips somewhere that India is the shxt hole it has always been !

India should have won every game everywhere in all sports !

No other country can ever match India in any human endeavor !

Hey, dumbo !

Just chew over the fact that England has just outclassed India in a test series !

The Indian cricket team is simply not as good as the English one !

The world no. 1 tag is increasingly exposed as of little consequence !

And this has been proved thrice now in quick succession !

But the Indian captain can rest assured that he and some of his team mates can very easily continue to fool some of the stupxidest people in the world - the Indian middle classes - by showing their faces in dumb and loud kyndi language commercials !

They have no reason to be too worried !

Coach needs to be kicked out
by sameer khan on Sep 03, 2018 12:44 PM

We have a useless coach who only knows how to talk and never does a homework the way Gary Kirsten use to do. Gary Kirsten use to work on the weakness of each and every player and exploit the weakness of every player in the opposition team. whereas, Ravi Shastri just keeps on blaming players for the bad performance and is good for nothing. India currently have best bowlers in the world, best all-rounder in Pandya and best test batsmen but all these are of no use if coach can't sharpen their skills and can't come up with a strategy for every condition. India have to have either Gary Kirsten, Dev Whatmore or Shane Warne as a Coach and kick out Shastri before its too late.....

England smarter
by Partha on Sep 03, 2018 12:39 PM

Lots of talks are going around that batsmen let us down and our bowlers were unable to defeat England lower order batsmen.
In summary, whether it is lower order or upper order, it is the sum total of team that counts.
This series so far is really exciting from a sports point of view. Test cricket can also be thrilling.
What stood out for England is their smarter way of thinking. Sam Curran- 20 year old being inducted straight in Test cricket with not so distinguished performance in counties. He clicked. Next Moeen Ali. He bowled consistently on the rough patches allowing pitch to do the rest. Ofcourse he is relatively faster through the air. Digging deeper one gets a sense that there is a hand of that master-Saqlain Mushtaq who tutored these English spinners. Problem with Ashwin is that he is far too talented, that is why he tries to do lot of things, does not assess situation.

England Vs India

All the reports on the series highlights the fact the India wins or loses a match not because of the opposition but because Indias success or failures. Please remember the opposition is also equally good as us in a match and the results are controlled by their quality game. We played badly so we lost. The Englishmen played with a purpose and they won. They may be the weakest bowling team as your writer suggests but they were effective. Please give credit to the opposition.

Indian Team

Its is surprising, England's last 5 batman made the job tough for India, we were unable to take wickets after fantastic start.

I feel, though I am not expert, Batsman were too defensive and most of our players like Rahul, Dhawan, Kohli, Pandya cannot play defensive games. Probably, attack, would have proved better.

Any way, its fun to see all matches are resulted.
