Smokersmith Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Missed the first few overs, but was there from 04 18 !! Good day's work overall ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I agree. Root's exceptional year continues and Sibley's developing nicely. A real shame about the wicket off what became the last ball of the day, but 260+ on the first day is a great start to the series. If we can get 500 we'll be well and truly in the driving seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I’ve played in India and it is a brutal place to play. Heat, humidity, pitches, crowds (not now during covid though) Root was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonbed Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Did you see the state of the ball!! Wow. I’d imagine Jimmy tossing that away if he gets asked to bowl with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three tests in the subcontinent, three centuries. Although I did find it very funny when he cramped up mid swing for six! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRINITY Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I love watching cricket but these early start tests are a long haul to get through live. I quite like how sky do it by producing an high lights version of the day in the evening. Unless I have missed something are these test high lights being shown anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heron Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 When Root went down with cramps the first person to offer help was the indian captain, true sportsmanship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Loving it so far, watch at home early in the morning and have it on at work right now, 401 for 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainless. This is some performance from England. They're picking up so many easy singles as well as the boundaries. India have no control AND THAT'S ROOT'S 200! a mighty (crampless) six dumped into the stands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Great stuff from Root. In one test in the last series in India England scored 477 which looked good until India batted for three days and scored 759 for 7.

TRINITY Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Last session of day now. Root just to keep going as normal. However I believe Pope must step up now and go up a gear or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robden Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Oh well. Root's gone for 218 at 3pm. BTW a quick way to see what the time is in India. 9.30 here, turn watch upside down, 3.00......simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Just had a call from New Zealand and it is late evening there, the chap was not watching the cricket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Got home after a morning on the crows and was telling the wife about the records Root had passed ... turned the TV on, and he got out next ball ... sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heron Posted February 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I see that Root is not taking part in the ipl this year I think that it is the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 500 well done, can we hope for 600 and then a declaration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
