All the usual suspects appear to have contributed on the tour so far.
Perhaps Root and Stokes need dropping
HackneyBluecredit to both Duckett and Crawley, the 'who should open' discourse is dead and buried for now
Most runs by any pair for a wicket since December 2022 (1262) @ 5.20 rpo and an average of 50.48

It's the rate they score at that I love.
It really unsettles the opposition.
madVery iffy DRS decision to remove Pope
I thought, in real time that he had gone.
I marvel at the way they approach it AND the actual execution
I dont know whats more impressive instilling the belief and buy in from players that this sort of cricket is possible or the players actually doing it
Phenomenal what BMc Stokes and players have been able to achieve regardless of results

I don’t agree that the human eye is better than DRS. Everybody was bellyaching about the Crawley one last test but DRS was pretty clearly correct.
Anyway, as I said before the series this is there for the taking. There will never be an opportunity to win in India. If they can get first innings runs then the Indian batting is Rohit, Jadeja and a bunch of players with very little history in tests.

Same here. Looked out first time to me.
The more you watch it the worse the reversal of the completely legitimate not out decision looks
Decent ball mind
Joel Wilson and a dodgy Lbw call is it
Good memories

Sarfaraz looks to me like he's gonna be a great player.
In the mould of how England play, in fact
Fair enough move on but totally unconvinced by the ball tracking there. It was still rising when it strikes the pad high above the knee roll but they make it dip immediately after striking the pad on the "carefully" drawn cartoon graphic

I was saying to Dan yesterday that I’m amazed he passed the running tests but yes he looked very good till Jadeja scuppered him.

can't see Shreyas getting back in
