Cracking test match. India need 99 with 5 wickets remaining
Cracking test match. India need 99 with 5 wickets remaining
Tidy victory after a very dodgy start. Moen Ali’s wicket haul and young Curran’s fearlessness with the bat were the difference. Ashwin’s injury counted against India as it affected his action considerably. He’d have liked that third day pitch.
Now for the Oval and its bad light.
Chef to retire after next test. 160 Test matches so far, Runs - 12,254, Avg - 44.88. Great player in his day but it's been sad to see him struggle in the last couple of years. Ashes 2010/11 probably will be what he is best remembered for.
Huge, well-deserved emotional reception for Chef’s final Test innings. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Jennings though, min. For fox ache, even when I was swatting wildly at 40mph trundlers in the nets, the first rule of batting was “protect the furniture”.
Cricbuzz has a good graphic showing the number of consecutive Tests that openers have gone without scoring 50. Jennings is on there after 20 innings.
He’s now a toast batsman.
Just saw the Jennings wicket, that’s an incredible ball to leave. They would be as well sticking me out there
