The third test match is between India and England but it is on A teams and this match starts from tomorrow and it will go on for 5 days as usual, and this match is played at Ahmedabad, and at this time, the Indian team playing very well, they didn't lose any wickets in the first 50 overs and in the first 50 overs, they crossed almost 200.
They played very well in their home country and if this type of play the Indian original team did in the current matches against England's original team so they won that match.

@synchronym was clearly talking about the ongoing India-England test series and not the lower league series that you are talking about which is why I have no idea why you posted about some other match in this context.

Tip: Read the posts thoroughly before replying since it looks like you are just spamming frankly speaking.

I have noticed of few members those are having rank of Hero Member and Sr Member but still they never read content and just posting spam which is clearly not good they need to do few things carefully otherwise most chances they will be having spammer tag now here in last few days we have too many members those are doing things like these which are creating mess-up hopefully they will try to understand all reality and fix this issue instead of doing just spam which is not favorable for anyone here in this small cricketing community.
I am not tagging anyone, just want to tell them about their problem because we need some better stuff instead of having too much spam.

I am definitely expecting India to perform well in the second test match against England and there is a high probability that India will win the second test match. As India lost the first Test match against England, Indian batsmen and bowlers are expected to perform very well. India have some great batsmen if they can bat well will surely give England a big lead. And if India's bowlers can bowl controlled, it will definitely put pressure on England's batsmen. Let's see how well India can perform against England in the end.

Indian fans expectations are now more high with they also know before this also have situation like this but now few things are change like Kohli is still out now Rahul and Jadeja also out and Visakhapatnam is going to be less turning from Hyderabad which will good for the England because their batting can feel some comfortable most chances both teams will have changes into their squads with Mark Wood and Jack Leach will be out of test for England and Andersson and Bashir are coming into their place and India is also going to have changes but not sure who is coming.

Gill will be in more pressure for performing well in this test match after few failures and Rohit Sharma and Iyer are not the most senior batsmen who need to give their best for having better results most chances we will have Kuldeep in place of Jadeja.

Siraj didn't do anything that costed India the match, it wasn't his day and didn't get any wicket but it was alright, it was largely batters fault and had India won the test we wouldn't be arguing about Siraj here at all. You can argue same about Bumrah too that his place could have been also offered to spinners but you don't cause he took wickets. Had Siraj was the one who got wicket and Bumrah came out empty ended, I'm sure you would be saying Bumrah's spot was waste.

I don't think you can blame Siraj for Jadeja's injury either, these things just happen, look at KL Rahul, he was included in squad as sole batter, he had no wicket keeping duty in the game, yet he was injured.

True, in hindsight, one can argue many reasons for the defeat but the main reason was a timid approach from the Indians. India has won plenty of matches where 2-3 bowlers were underbowled be it seamer or even in some cases spinners.

- Poor and defensive captaincy from Rohit.
- Batters throwing away their wickets in the first inning, we shouldn't forget 5 batters got out slogging. When you score 80 ish runs then batters should target for daddy 100s and not throw away wickets and in the second inning they went into shells.
- for a change Likes of Ashwin-Jadeja-Axar got outplayed by Pope. Poor fielding and bad captaincy did play a major part but there is no shame in accepting that they were outplayed and that's why test cricket is tough.

I won't rate the performance is poor. Yes India took defensive approach because that is what the mental stress when you have a target to reach and the performance from Pope shifted the momentum which disturbed the mindset too in my opinion. Well, this is a historic match and there is no fun if India win all the matches they play in their country.

Tomorrow, the actual test begins because of unavailability of three consistent performers and also eager too know India will continue to give chances to Gill then what is the point of other players who is doing extraordinary in their Ranji and waiting for an opportunity to showcase their skills.

Indian International test cricket team will play it's 2nd match  against England International test cricket team. Indian International test cricket team is good side but England won the first test match . Ollie Pope is in full form and I hope ,he will play excellent in 2nd test match against Indian International test cricket team. He made 196 runs and he is the major cause of England International test cricket team win.  In first inning, England International test cricket team performance was not good but they came back well and got victory against highly paid cricketers of World.

And just a couple of hours later, Visakhapatnam is going to face India vs England in the second Test. Ollie Pope's knock of 196 in the first Test helped England take a 1-0 lead in the series. There may be some changes in the Indian team in today's Test, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul are injured. There may be new faces in the India team, Sarfaraz Khan may make his debut in today's match. Washington Sundar could play as Ravindra Jadeja instead today. Tom Hartley single-handedly destroyed India in the second innings of the first Test, I think he will be a big headache for India in the second Test as well. Pitch looks like the sprint bowlers will be helpful. India is very strong at home ground, I don't think today's second test will be a repeat of the first match, all things considered, I think India will turn around in the second test.

Although India unfortunately lost the first test match against England in the first match, it is expected that India will try to play well with their best performance in the second test match. India's batting and bowling are both very strong, if the Indian team can bat and bowl well, then maybe they can do well in the second test match. But England batted brilliantly in the second innings in the first Test. And in the target of only 230 runs in the second innings, the England team bowled India out for only 202 runs. Therefore, England's bowling cannot be considered very lightly. If the England team bowled well in the second innings of the first Test match and can maintain their consistency like that, then there might be a chance in the second Test match against India. But I will put India ahead in the test match because India has already lost the first test match so India will try their best to win the second test match.

Indian batsmen take sometime to get adjusted with the opposition spinners. During the last match, Jack Leach was not able to do much, as he is well known to the Indians. On the other hand, it was Tom Hartley who troubled them. And Indians were essentially playing with 10 players, as Mohammed Siraj hardly made any contributions in this match. As usual, the track at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam will be tailor made to suit the spinners. But my biggest worry is that it may backfire just like the first test match.

Sri Lanka and Afghanistan

The only match of the Test series between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan that will be played today is still fifty minutes away from the start of the match.In terms of experience and strength, the Sri Lankan team will be ahead of the Afghanistan team as they have played Test matches for a long time.But Afghanistan harmony is performing very well due to which they play well against every team they have some good players in their team who perform well constantly. As this series is being held on Sri Lankan soil I think Sri Lanka will get advantage.But it seems that this test match is going to be a strong fight between the two teams.

[libert19]

India has 3 changes today, unfortunately none about Gill and Iyer.

Patidar replaces Rahul, Kuldeep replaces Jadeja — they didn't replace all-rounder with an all-rounder despite Sundar being available which is surprising and Siraj has been replaced with Mukesh Kumar.

[Patrol69]

Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are injured, Sarfaraz Khan can be included in the team. The cricketer has plenty of experience playing in the red ball domestic league and Team India might rely on him in the upcoming matches. Since the team is missing some important players including Virat Kohli, all the other players in the team must take the big responsibility because if all the other players cannot take the big responsibility then it will be very difficult for the Indian batsmen to face the England bowlers.

Your mistake is Virat Kohli is not injured he won't be able to play few test matches due to family reasons. However, India's second Test match squad is weaker than India's first Test match. The first Test match had great players like KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja but they were ruled out of the second Test due to injuries. New and inexperienced players may be given a chance in their place. As England have already won one match in the five-match Test series, they are leading by one nil. India need to win the second Test to level the series.

It is certain that Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja will be absent for the second Test match. KL Rahul injury and Virat Kohli not being able to play are the things I mentioned together in the previous post. Injuries or family problems are not a big issue for India. Ravindra Jadeja scored 80 plus runs in the first innings of the first Test match and bowled well enough so India will surely miss his all-round performance. But those who get a place in the XI also have enough skill and experience, as they will be representing the Indian team, they have no shortage of experience and that experience will have to be fully utilized against England. I have full confidence in the bowlers but the batsmen must take a bit more responsibility against England.

Test match will be played between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan today, Sri Lanka team is strong enough in this test match. The Sri Lankan team is full of experience and skilled batsmen who consistently perform well. Test play is largely about endurance and this team's victory will depend on reliable batsmen who can perform for long periods of time.

Meanwhile, the toss was completed in the only Test match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan and Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bowl. Afghanistan will face Sri Lanka for the first time today in the international Test format. Afghanistan have become well-versed in the T20 and ODI formats but are still new to the Test format. Afghanistan has played seven Test matches at international level. Sri Lanka has been associated with Test format for a long time. Sri Lanka Test squad is stronger compared to other formats. Although Afghanistan has some quality players, I will put Sri Lanka ahead.

Xavier Bartlett is running through the Windies at the moment thanks to bowling effectively without giving away too many extras so far. The Windies top order seriously sucks and keeps going down like a pack of dominoes again and again.

Their middle order and tail-enders are far better in comparison in my honest opinion. Australia on top at the moment.

And I think in the first time of their meeting the Afghanistan will lose. Because the starting of this game was not good for afghanistan they they their first wicket without taking any single run. After 1 over now they run 0 run with lossing their 1wicket. Zadran make the golden duck and I think it was an big wicket for the Srilankan team. I think Sri lanka is much stronger tea from the afghanistan team in test format so I think today srilank have the wining probability.

Gill and Iyer should have been replaced with other players. Patidar long deserved debut has happened, he has been impressive but it took some time for him to be part of the team. He is already 30 years old and if he does bat effectively in the test match then he can be considered for the next one. I have seen Sundar's name most of the time on the list but he rarely gets to be part of the playing squad. Is Rohit having some kind of a grudge against this guy? Mukesh was effective against the South Africans and got a chance again against the England team. Lots of new faces in the team except the captain and Bhumrah.

[Out of mind]

India vs England 2nd Test match is taking place today and India is batting first innings on the first day. India team has already collected 40 runs on the first day, the partnership between Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal is excellent and if they continue, they will make a huge score. It is difficult to say whether the England team will win today's match based on their impressive win against India in the first Test match. However, the second test match is very important for both the teams, especially for India, so the Indian team has to collect good songs in today's match.

Yea, one of they could be replaced with Patidar, and Rahul with Sarfraz Khan, other could stay as there are not many batters in squad.

I have seen Sundar's name most of the time on the list but he rarely gets to be part of the playing squad.

Sundar definitely deserved place, as far as I have seen him, he always takes wickets and can be handy tail-end batter, always a good thing to have in test matches.

Anyway, let's see how they do with this squad, and if Gill and Iyer do something this time around.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. fans of Sarfaraz Khan are going to be disappointed, as Rajat Patidar got the nod ahead of him. England did the right thing by including just James Anderson as the pace bowler. Last time they experimented with Mark Wood, but I personally believe that Anderson is a far better choice. Right now, he has 690 test wickets and his performance in this match will take him closer to that magical 700 wicket mark. It may or may not happen in this series (this is the second test and we have another 3 matches remaining).

Gill looking good as of now saw him hit back to back two 4s against Bashir who is a debutant. He took Rohit's wicket, more than him I think it was a cunning captaincy by Stokes as Rohit never expected a fielder when he hit the ball. While writing this post Gill out, what an intelligent bowling by Anderson. Iyer has come out wondering why Patidar was moved back, does Rohit think he cannot handle this mess? If Iyer gets out early it will be a bigger mess than what it is now.

At this time, Jaiswal and Shubman is on strike and I know their partnership will break after some time, If Jaiswal was not out so I know Shubman Gill could be out, Gill is like Haider Ali because Haider Ali started very well in his career, he hit a half-century in his debut match but later he stopped playing well, and slowly his name is out from the team and now his name is also out from PSL but due to some reasons Afghanistan players had something wrong so they didn't play PSL that's why he was picked from Karachi Kings or Peshawar Zalmi.

However, Shubman Gill's performance also came like this and maybe after some years, we see that he and Haider Ali had the same story. When Shubman Gill came he started to compare himself with Babar Azam but suddenly from comparing Babar Azam, he came to compare himself with Haider Ali, and when Haider Ali came so he also compared Virat Kohli but all the things in front of you.
