Maybe a separate thread on the toss is the answer.

Im sure that others are frustrated as well. Can we just not make a point, and then let others have their say and then leave it at that?

Flooding a topic with the same point is annoying and for me is ruining the whole discussion. Lively debate is good, but one has to accept that people will have a different view point sometimes

If one has a grievance about peoples views in the media, or something similar, please right about it in a blog. But in the match section can we just talk about the match with out saying the same thing 100 times? Everyone is entitled to an opinion, one might not agree with it, and can argue against it, but please can we stop going on and on and on about it.

It's the reason I hardly come here any more

Constant 1000 word essays post after post that have nothing to do with the actual game that's going on

Then clearly people haven't been watching the India lords game, or the Australia games in Trent bride and edgebaston.
Or the May games.

It appears that everyone's an idiot except yourself presumably.

Well clearly people and comms need to start doing some reserch then instead of spreading lies and false information.
Anyway gonna start rant thread on this forum, would probably need one this home season with all the crap that always been said in the cricketing world.

I think England were 4 wickets short of victory the only time they batted first in this series so far and BCCI couldn't chase down 176 the last time they batted in the 4th innings before this series.

Okay, I take all that back. God has suddenly decided to bestow intelligence upon an idiot like me. :party

India can never lose a cricket match. In fact, they have never ever lost a cricket match. Does anyone disagree? Well, you are an idiot. Go and visit a psychiatrist and don't stop the treatment until you are fully convinced that India have never lost a match in the history of the sport. :india

You were right, but it was still an early call.

Well kohli only lost 2 test in 18 or 19.
How many test has smith lost again.

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2016 8:33 pm**

Not sure what Smith has to do with this, but Kohli has only lead on series against a top non Sub Continental team away from home, which he lost.

Anyway the main think I love hault the guy clearly reads this thread or forum.

5. Ignore the toss myth

Win toss, win match is how it is supposed to go for touring teams in India and it was certainly crucial in Vizag. But each of England’s last six wins in India, going back to 1980, were achieved after a lost toss. It happened in Mumbai four years ago and Calcutta. New Zealand appeared to lose heart last month as soon as they lost the toss. England must guard against the same malaise.

You pretty much saw that in this test, no idea why england heads went down considering they had india 22/2.
Also looks like they been reading sussex point as well.

Most touring teams put their faith in spin to win in India but why? Indian batsmen are brilliant against spin, less so against seam. Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan were hammered in India. Four years ago England had Swann and Panesar, two world class bowlers. Not anymore. Broad and Anderson took nine wickets on a spinner’s pitch in Vizag, Woakes peppered batsmen on a flat one in Rajkot. Jake Ball is an unknown to this India team and bowled cutters and cross seamer well in the one-dayers in Bangladesh. Time for a change of tactics.

The ball barely did anything in those ashes games

Australia are just crap and go at it with hard hands

The same reason they got thumped by sri lanka and are getting thumped by South Africa

And SrI lanka struggled with swing not seam, nothing to do with the pitch unless you are suggesting we have a weather machine and roll out the sunshine when we are batting and the clouds when the touring side are
