Starts today with England v NZ at Lords.
Finishes with us raising the urn in Oz. Gorgeous day for it, anyone get tix? After having loads of games sorted last year I thought it prudent not to bother this season.
Will be listening to TMS, just hope they have anyone in place of Daniel Norcross whom aggravates me something chronic. [Post edited 2 Jun 2021 9:09]

Was Kohli giving Root the cupped ear? That bloke really is a detestable arsehole. | |

I think at least a smidgen of credit could be awarded to india for this |  | | |

Nope, sorry. If he gets a ball like Bairstow got, fair enough. A batsman of Root's calibre getting bowled by playing on is unforgivable. | |

Sorry i meant the overall performance rather than Roots delivery.
I think they deserve some credit for excellent play over the last 2 days in particular | | | |

I’m glad I went yesterday when we had a small chance of winning rather than watching another sorry England collapse. |  | | |

Agreed, some very good bowling with the older ball.
Would have been nice if at least one of the middle order had stuck around. |  |

India bowling far better on flat pitches than ours.
The decision to keep Overton in the side instead of pace with Mahmood or Wood showed how worried they were about our batting rather than trying to take 20 wickets
Lose this series and 5 nil loss to the Aussies will surely get the ECB to look at red ball cricket.
Looking at county scores this weekend shows the issue. Poor pitches where you only need to be 70 mph to get wickets | | | |

If they were playing red ball cricket in June, July and August, 70mph dibbly dobblies wouldn't be enough to get people out you'd need high class spin or pace to get wickets.
We've all seen enough one day September finals in the past to know that that sort of bowler does well in September as well as early season in April and May. As you say, lose this series and a likely thrashing in Australia and the fixture list will need some serious work to cure the imbalance between the red and white ball.
I fear though the success of the 100 will only push the clowns at the ECB more towards the white ball. | |

England are absolutely spineless, but that spell from Bumrah was absolute magic tho |  | | |

Massive shame.
Was surprised this wasn't mentioned by TMS et al more when it came out that some of the team were having to isolate mid-test. How did they get it? How were others in close contact allowed to play on? | |

Yep. BCCI putting pressure on the Indian players in case they test positive and have to stay in UK longer
I read that Ravi Shastri broke protocol going to a book signing?
So is that 2-2 ? In village cricket if you can’t field a team you forfeit the game | | | |

Makes our collapses even more frustrating. | |

I cant see how india should be allowed to come away with this debacle with a series victory. Especially if the story about breaking protocol to go to a book signing is true.
I wouldve liked to have seen this contest, so far London has favoured India whereas "up north" seemed to suit England. | | | |

Initially it was described as a forfeit, now it seems India want to bugger off with a 2-1. Not ok.

talk now is they have NOT forfeited and ICC to decide? so who broke the news of any forfeit and what was their source?? i think ICC will declare a draw , i am unsure of cricket rules but wonder if England are on the pitch for "toss" and ready to go do they then get the match ( thinking scotland footy game years back v faroes?) | | | |

This sets up a bit of dangerous precident, whats to stop England going to Oz and by some miracle drawing the first test and then winning the second before sending their players out to a hug anti-vaxxers at a protest. Then boarding the plane with the ashes.
Of course the ICC will fold like deckchairs once the BCCCI turn the screws.
I know its a different sport but didnt England have to go without Mount and Foden after they came into contact with a scottish after he tested positive? Surely the same model could be applied here. | | | |

Well no because the IPL is more important than everything else.

Apparently all the players tested negative yesterday so can only be a BCCI decision, the ECB need to hold their nerve on this, sue the BCCI. Or else like you say the precedent is set.
Not in the spirit of cricket (or any sport), frankly India shouldn't be allowed back into the country for any cricket ever again. | |

Apparently the ECB origin statement was worded a forfeit but then amended to have that removed | | | |
