Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

Decimated! 28-4, Rohit should have let batting continue until Sarfraz got his century or got out. Stokes-Root is last pair England can put some hope on, though I feel England has already lost this game.

[elevates]

Okay, ladies and gents. We have reached a pre BAZBALL era where England were quite familiar with 18/2 scoreline, now it's only fair if Root get his century, he's too good player and have been silient in this tour with the bat.

Fingers cross for him and wont mind a bit if he gets a ton and shut up his haters, mostly retired english players and media.

4 wickets gone the English middle order isn't in its best form. Root is still batting but a century from him is doubtful and we may see him getting out today. He is out of form plus he has hurt his finger so it's not that easy for him. I was listening to the English commentators and they said that this team will try to chase those runs. For now it looks completely opposite they should stop thinking about winning the test and concentrate on drawing it.

[JSRAW]

^^ The match is done n dusted already but I still would like to see Root doing a hard yard and score a ton.
A lot of people here in this thread kept repeating that Test cricket is dying and I've said every single time that as far as India is concerned, just follow the media right deals if you want to judge the health of Test cricket.

Right now more than 500 million live viewers watching a test match, thanks to JIO.

In the third test match between India vs England, India batted brilliantly in the first innings. Maintaining its consistency, batted brilliantly in the second innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal did not bat that well in the first innings and was dismissed for just 10 runs. But in the third test match, he batted brilliantly in the second innings. This player is unbeaten with 214 runs off 236 balls. The way Yashasvi Jaiswal has batted, it seems like he has done an ODI performance. The way the England team is batting, it looks like they are going to lose the third Test against India by a huge margin. But if any of England's players can bat responsibly then the result of the match may be different but India will have more chances to win. The current score of the England team is 33 runs for 4 wickets in 14 overs.

We never expect such bad batting from England's experienced batsmen. India played well, but still thought we would enjoy a competitive match. But the match became completely one-sided due to the bad batting of England's batsmen.
No one except Ben Duckett batted well in the first innings. England's top order is batting badly in the second innings as well. England lost 4 batsmen to collect 28 runs and now England has collected only 46 runs. I do not see any possibility of the match being a draw. It seems that the England team will be defeated by a big margin of 300-350 runs. England are now behind by 511 runs.

[Jateng]

Jaswal's batting performance seems to have a spring breeze now.Who knew that this young budding player would write his name in the record books for India.Jaswal became the second Indian player to score two consecutive double centuries in a Test series. Jaswal is unbeaten on 214 runs in the second innings of the third Test match, his other teammate Sarfraz Khan is also unbeaten on 68 runs.

India declared the second innings of the third Test match at 430 runs, resulting in a target of 530 runs for the England team.The England team needs to overcome a mountain of runs to win this Test match. This test match is getting tougher and tougher for the England team.

Jaiswal brilliant batting performance in second inning of test match they scored double century 214 runa and remain unbeaten in this inning and indja delacre the inning at 430/4d. India is on top postion right now because India needs 6 more wickets to win this test game and lead the series by 2-1. England down the forth wickets 49/4 at the third sessionwin  of Day 4. England needs 508 runs and one more day left in this test it's seems like India will win test match easily.

Despite giving England two chances in the second innings, it is not possible to avoid defeat in this match. There is still over 20 overs left in the fourth day in the second innings and if India can get the spin attack right then England are likely to be all out today. Joe Root and Ben Stokes have a partnership of 21 runs so far with no wickets falling after 28 runs.

Kuldeep Yadav comes to the Attack.

[elevates]

They said it is a batting pitch and both teams will get good runs on this pitch. Yes, it is a batting pitch and only Indian batters got good runs while England batters are struggling. 5 wickets gone before the day ended and situation of England is going from bad to worse. I was not expecting such a bad batting from the English batters. The wickets are coming easily for Indian bowlers and Ashwin is still not playing. Another wicket and the game is over for England as after this pair they only have bowlers.

[jasonjm]

England are out of this test match. They are 50/7 in the fourth innings, chasing a humungous target of 557 runs. Indian spinners come to the party in the 4th innings. I think today will be the last day of this test match.
Jaiswal played a blinder in the 3rd innings; what a talent. Unlucky for Gill, he got out after scoring 91 runs. Sarfaraz also did well and played with positive intent. I think this is the first time an opponent declared the innings since the start of the Baz-Ball era.

[Insanity]

In the 3rd Test match of India vs England, England team came to the field to play the 2nd Innings today. They scored 72 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 29.4 overs. Ravindra Jadeja of India team took 3 wickets with 11 runs in 10 overs. Kuldeep Yadav 11 runs in 5.1 overs.  took 2 wickets with .England team still need 483 runs to win this match.

[vennali]

Has India unearthed a gem? At the age of 22, he makes a world record in Cricket and has a long career ahead of him. He might have also tied for the most sixes in an innings, in a test match(12 sixes). Could've broken it if he kept on batting. India are cruising into a comfortable win with England still need 475 runs and all they are left with is 3 wickets.

The England team has faced a batting disaster. After India set a huge target of 557 runs, I was sure that England would not win. Even then I thought England would be able to collect something like 2500-300 runs. But scoring 100 runs is challenging for England right now. England lost the ninth wicket for 91 runs.

Jadeja is bowling very well in the second innings. The pitch is also helping the spinners. Jadeja bowled 11 overs, conceded only 20 runs, and picked up four wickets. Kuldeep Yadav also picked up 2 wickets and Aswin took 1 wicket. England will probably lose their last wicket today.

Bairstow needs to sit out, he has done nothing in this series. I'd say same for Root too but he can get important breakthroughs, and his name may give psychological assurance to the teammates so I guess it's alright. Anderson on his way to 700 wickets, but ineffective in this match.

Hoping to see at least one game with full 5 day play in remaining matches. England disappointed so much today.

England team managed to collect only 122 runs in the second innings. The match was over in four days. England team conceded a humiliating defeat by a huge margin of 434 runs. Despite being able to score 319 runs in the first innings with the help of Duckett, none of the batsmen in the squad could play well in the second innings.

Bairstwo and Root have been erratic performers for a long time. But both are one of the most experienced and important players in England's squad. So the England management cannot keep these two players out of the squad. England management has many more talented batsmen. They should rest Bairstwo and Root and give a chance to a new player.

I think England finished the fifth day's play a day early. If the game ends a day early, you get a full day to rest and practice for the next test. Ha ha lol!!
I present this because the Test match ended a day ago after being defeated by a huge margin of 434 runs. Couldn't have imagined that it would be all-out in one session, so it happened in today's third Test match.
England's innings was for Jadeja, Ashwin and Kuldeep. These three spinners have collected eight wickets out of ten wickets.

In the 3rd Test match of India vs England, England team came to the field to play the 2nd Innings today. They scored 72 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 29.4 overs. Ravindra Jadeja of India team took 3 wickets with 11 runs in 10 overs. Kuldeep Yadav 11 runs in 5.1 overs.  took 2 wickets with .England team still need 483 runs to win this match.

The second innings of England did not show the performance as expected, England played the second innings completely badly. I thought England would not win the match chasing the target of 557 runs but I thought the match would be played on the fifth day. India stopped England by just 122 runs. England kept losing wickets from the star. India's spin bowling attack Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin completely destroyed England's batting line-up. Ravindra Jadeja in particular bowled brilliantly and took five wickets in the second innings. India got a historic win in today's Test match, the biggest Test win for India by 434 runs. India lead the five-match Test series 2-1.

[Haunebu]

England should be happy that they won at least once against the Indians on their own turf because I was expecting them to get whitewashed pretty comfortably considering their current form.

Bazball has proven to be an overrated approach which works only under specific conditions. England needs to adapt better to different conditions.

[Patrol69]

I was sure that India would declare an innings against England, but I did not think that India would be able to all out England so quickly. I thought if India gave England a target of 450 to 500 then on the fifth day England would be all out before reaching the target but every time India declared the innings and when England came back to chase the target in the second innings they lost one wicket after another. England lost wickets one after the other and the Indian bowlers pressed the England batsmen harder and thus bowled out the English batsmen for just 122 runs in the second innings. India secured a big win by 434 runs against England.

The second innings saw individual bests for India by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who hit a double century and Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets off the bowling.
Congratulations Team India Congratulations to all Indian team members including Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravindra Jadeja.

I want him to play as he is an asset for the Indian team 

Whether he is out of form or he is out of shape getting his wicket is the easiest thing that India can accomplish. He is a gem for the Indian side as he is only in the team to bat and I do not expect him to field well with his shape.

BTW, this non-experienced Indian batting lineup won the third test, and the retired players from England are not happy with the way the third test ended. Why would they as England's whole team get out on a pitch that is supposed to be batting-friendly? They never expected the Indian bowling unit to be so strong as they forgot that India was playing in India.

[cryptoWODL]

Today, England's batting lineup has been crushed by India's spin magic.Ravindra Jadeja gave a solid performance today and managed to lead his team to a great win. Many of us thought England might not win the Test match but they would bat well but in the end they failed to do that too. Ravindra Jadeja's brilliant all-rounder has given India a 2-1 lead in the Test series already.In this Test match, Jaswal completed his second double century of his career, which is even a record for an Indian player. Ravindra Jadeja was adjudged Man of the Match for his impeccable performance in this Test match.
