That was out

How the umpire doesn't give that is beyond me, looked plum

 

[Simster]

I agree, very unfortunate as that was probably his best ball of the match.

There was always a question mark over height, I thought. It hit him almost on the knee roll

I was almost ready to eat my words

 

[CHAPPERS]

I don't think you'll ever get a decision as tight as that one. Such a shame for Bess.

I've moaned at him this morning too. That first spell was absolutely shit, to be fair.

He's only 5 foot 6 though, got to take that into account

 

[dazzer6666]

I had quite a few things I had to do this morning. Oh well.

 

[pasty]

Suggestions please for a suitable reply to a message received from an Indian colleague yesterday "I would like to hear all the excuses again why England have batted so badly"

 

[CHAPPERS]

I think Bess is probbaly due a bit of a break from Test cricket after this series isn't he. If only that decision had gone his way before tea.

I’m a better off spinner than Dom Bess ffs.

Sorry but he shouldn’t be anywhere near this England team, and that’s remarkable given how poor our spinning options are.

He needs to go to a county where he'll be given a decent number of overs under his belt, and spend a few years building up experience. He's 23 and has only played 50 first class matches in total.

Of course the ECB will continue to shove the CC matches to the ends of the season, and penalise counties for preparing turning pitches, so instead he'll spend that time with his hands in his pockets watching medium pacers taking all the wickets at Headingly.

These Indian commentators are f**king knobheads aren’t they, never heard such bias in my life.

Unfortunately this partnership looks like taking the game away from England.

We are bloody marvellous int it. Just look at that leave it was superb even if it was only missing by millimetres it is very good.

 

[vegster]

The scoring rate has now upped since the Indians have nudged in front... Pants going to do some damage now.

Edit: highly likely to let rip in fact!

 

[The Wizard]

Only having 3 bowlers capable of bowling a consistent length is really costing England here late in the day in 40c heat. Picking Bess as one of only 3 main bowlers and in the last game on a Bunsen they played 3 fast bowlers

Feel for Stokes, bowling nearly 20 overs as a fast bowler in a day in this.... you have to say it crap selection from England again, it’s not only England’s players who have been bamboozled as this series has gone on but the player selection as well.

 

[The Wizard]

Pant is some player, the difference in a couple of these low scoring games has been one innings by him and Rohit.

In 30 years of watching cricket, the Indian commentators have always been the same, by far the worst.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Pant is so unorthodox, has a great eye but awful technique plays with the bat so far away from his body.
