Player of the series of India: Jasprit Bumrah.
“That’s the beauty of test cricket. Even if you have three good days, you have to maintain a good position. I think yesterday was where we let the opposition win.”
“That’s how cricket is going, yes, England played really well, they kept fighting, a very hard-fought series. Rishabh Pant took his chances, he brought us back to the game, he counterattacked, that’s the beauty of test cricket, we have different characters on the team. “
“[on captaincy] It was a good challenge, I always like responsibility, I was a great honor to lead the team “.
The man in the series: Joe Root.
Mike Morris asks a question for ages:
“Because I’m a boring man, I’ve been watching old snooker games from the early 90’s. What’s interesting is the negligence of the players: they reach 30, they run out of position, they play safety. Because they think clearly “eh, you can only win some weird game on a final visit.” There would be about 12 centuries in the world championship. Then Hendry passed by and showed the older professionals what was really possible, that winning every frame on a visit should always be the goal. And guess what? The other players responded, because it turns out that winning stretches on a visit had been possible all along.
“Is this doing this England team? Just show us what can happen? It’s just a series of coincidences in fields that haven’t deteriorated, or … it’s always been possible to chase 300 strangers, and it’s always could he compile a test score using one-day shots, and it was only the few cubic inches in the players ’skulls that stopped them all this time?
Look at this space Mike, look at this space.
Turns out, like Root and Bairstow, Test highlights and Blur’s Song 2 are the perfect match.
“If we’re in Bairoot now, is Bairstow the new Tristan and Root Siegfried?” asks David Phillips.
The presentation is ready. The man of the match is … Jonny Bairstow
He smiles, grabbing a bottle of champagne. “It’s very fun right now, the last month has been a fantastic month for test cricket, how excited we are all for each other. … The last few years have been tough, I’m not a fan of bubbles, but it’s great to be back, we had a fantastic crowd on the fifth day. “
“It’s about not being afraid to fail, leave and put pressure on the opposition again. We will lose games along the way, but hopefully it will be exciting for people to see and certainly exciting to play.
Asked yesterday about the whore on the field: “Everything is under control, Butch, they have world-class bowling players, and there are periods of time when you have to absorb the pressure. They’re trying to intimidate, that’s what they’re trying to do, it’s to return that pressure to them.There are times when you have to consolidate … Just two Yorkshire guys, amazing for sharing some special memories, we grew up playing together, we spent a lot of time in the middle, an absolute pleasure being out there for his 28th cent is quite special. “
A bit of luck in my inbox brings me an email from author Kamila Shamsie, award-winning Home Fire author, among others.
“This may be a good time to suggest that anyone who hasn’t read Jonny Bairstow’s memoirs ‘A Clear Blue Sky’ (co-written with Duncan Hamilton) could correct it. It was Wisden’s Book of the Year on 2018, chosen by … eh … me “.
I’m sorry I haven’t received the many emails and tweets in my inbox again. Many of them can be summarized as follows:
Instead of worrying, I wonder if Root will hit the target at the limits before Bairstow reaches his century. Being a fan of England is no longer what it used to be. #OBO # ENGvsIND #ENGvIND @tjaldred

Root is talking to Ian Ward. He looks excited, in a good way. You can’t always keep eye contact. “The feeling in the locker room right now is that whatever the goal, we’ll eliminate it,” he says.
To YJB: “He seems to have a real clarity about how he plays cricket. He’s been there several times, he’s been on and off the side. You can blame me for that if you want. It’s a lot of fun to see someone I know from the 12 years makes the most of his talent in this format ”.
He says part of the reason he’s at the forefront of his game is to accept the exit: “It’s a failed baptism game and you won’t do well every time.”

A suggestion from Tom about the bonanza of free tickets on the fifth day. I don’t see any downside to it, although you could argue the price. Is there one?
“Tickets cost £ 10 for the nominated charity when booked online, at the door, when your QR code is scanned, do you have the option to refund or keep the donation? Is it still free of charge? attending, but not attending has a cost. “

The OBO is in a good mood with England about to win. David Reynolds writes, with a flourish of his pen: “I am sure we all remember about 18 months ago in India when a series of very apt bowling portals offered an unequal contest in favor of the bowler. bowling, all the English experts seemed to howl at the injustice of this, as well as by the boredom of the resulting spectacle, in which the ports fall too easily and quickly.
Now we have the reverse situation, in which test after test this summer serves a dry, lifeless port, complemented by a boring, lifeless ball that softens quickly. The result is a situation where batsmen can hit the ball with impunity, knowing that there will be almost no movement to surprise or unsettle them. And yet our press is out of itself with the exaltation of how exciting and exciting this is.
“But there’s nothing exciting about it. It’s a completely uneven match between bat and ball, the opposite of which is the essence of exciting cricket. Each of those chased in the fourth inning has been completely tedious, just batsmen. that they crushed the ball with a useless haste, without the slightest danger of not reaching the goal “.

68th more: England 321-3 (Root 109, Bairstow 92) Target 378 Thakur arrives in a re-establishment of a certain discipline, which is not the line he thought he would be writing. Just a width of it.
Joe Plewes re yesterday’s songs. “This tune is sung a lot for all sorts of people in a completely non-offensive / positive way in football and cricket as well (European Champions, we know what we are, etc.), and it was a very famous song sung to Mitchell Johnson (in the end it was taken in fairly good faith by Johnson – loads sung in cricket
“Combining it with the John Terry / Anton Ferdinand incident is very, very strange and no one who sang it would think so … there was an incident where Chelsea fans used the same tune, but also the have used other fans in one – you know what you are, you’re the kind of racist b **** ds from other fans – but it’s just a common football tune!
Honestly, it has nothing to do with bowling on the left! “
Thanks for your email: football is not really my game as you probably guessed, so I …
