Not all doom and gloom

CA doesn’t invite Sunny to the after match presentation then apologies for not doing so.

Probably one of the few times I agree with Sunny for being miffed at the snub.

I’m out for the day sadly haha

Predictions

Jadjeja and Washington to put on 35 runs. The last three wickets to fall quick. India with a lead of 190

Konstas to sadly get out ramping for under ten
Head to hit a rapid 30-40
Bumrah to bowl and take a couple but Siraj to do the main damage
Australia to fall 13 runs short in sesssion 3.

Remarkably this was your most accurate post of the day.

Stuff him the little whinger

[stan]

Yeah, he was also asked about Kohli running into Konstas … answered that it was in the past, move on, plus plenty of Aussie have done it

The only point I make about using native tongue is that there’s a bit of English dispersed amongst it, which I thought was sort of funny.

Gambhir will be in strife to keep his job. Two series losses on the trot, first one at home in a decade and now there next series is in England with some old guys hanging on for dear life with the bat. Bumrah saved them all series really from this being a flogging. His constant grumpiness and lies don't help endear him to anyone and how they handles the media compared to when Shastri was in charge was awful.

He's hard to read old Gautum, but he doesn't seem like someone with any people skills. Then again whi knows, he could be loved by the players for all I know.

Whilst we have the Sri Lankan series we would want to get a few wins there as winning form is good form, we need to turn our attention to Lords in June.

Our batsmen couldn't handle Bumrah here and in fairness that was on some tough pitches. Not sure what Lords will dish up, however the South African quicks are a worry.

Perhaps he was from the wrong generation.

Bumrah first 11 balls all around 135, last three to Konstas 140…

The irony being that Bumrah went off with back spasms straight after this spell…..not to return.

If they had listened to those on here, Khawaja, Labuschagne, Smith ( ), Head, Marsh, Starc, Lyon, plus McDonald and Bailey would all be gone by now.

Some of them should be gone and moving forward we definitely need changes. I hope the side for the first Ashes test looks diffent than the current one
