Eng vs Ind T20 series
« on: January 31, 2025, 09:57:48 PM »

Well, what are peoples' thoughts about the concussion replacement today (Rana for Dube)?

Don't get me wrong, Rana did a great job, but SHOULD he have been the "like for like" replacement?

I personally think this is blatant "rule bending" by the Indian team - AKA cheating! In which world is an upfront bowler (albeit an allrounder) bowling at 90mph a like for like replacement for a top order batter? Maybe Duckett should head-butt a good length delivery just to get Mark Wood into the side if Eng bat first, or vice-versa if Eng field first after Woody has bowled his 4 overs! It was plain and simly a complete disgrace by the Indian Team, whoever pushed for that replacement (it might not have been the captain or the "onfield" players, it may be the hierarchy in the dressing room).

Simply disgusting behaviour. Shame Eng could not hold on for a win which would have been justice. Eng were playing against 12 on the park though.

The adverts after every over and the constant replays really annoyed me!

No he was not a like for like change. Shambles

Ravi Shastri alleging that England have only had a single net on this tour.

KP is saying the same thing.

We have become a village side with no mid week practice that  rock up 15mins before the start on a Sunday... Leave the subs on the bar!
