For some reason they decided not to play cricket today.

What a strange test. England's team selection is looking more strange as things unfold. 4 seamers in Indian conditions, and they even dropped a batsman to pick one of them.

This is the worst test I've seen in a while. I thought the 1st test between Australia and India was bad, but this just takes the cake. Can't stand tests where noone can make runs.

Fans of both sides are angry at the state of the wicket that had been prepared. Three batting collapses against pedestrian bowling and a result in under two days.

India saw Anderson reversing it miles in the 1st test and shit themselves. Expect a dustbowl for the last test as well. God damn if any team deserves to have a ball sandpapered against them it's India, although I'm sure their pitches produce the same result on the ball after like 15 overs.

It was a pink ball test under the lights. The pink ball tends to move more under floodlights, so India producing a wicket like that to counter it was always likely. Yet Root stuck with just one spinner and shortened batting line-up even after seeing the dustbowl they'd prepared, so he's still responsible for the result. |

Yeah I gotta admit, England's team selection was weird. They should have had both Leach and Bess in the 11. But still, India can't keep getting away with producing these awful pitches. |

Absolutely ridiculous from the ECB to suspend Ollie Robinson over allegedly racist and sexist tweets (they aren't either) made 8-9 years ago. Now they have said another player is being investigated for tweets made when they were a child!
A total joke. Hopefully this fires him up to totally destroy India and Australia later this year.

Nope the entire team + reserves will be suspended for making fun of muslims 15 years ago and we will automatically win. I mean we would have won anyway...

Public opinion is overwhelmingly in support of the player, as are politicians all the way up to the PM. Hopefully this proves to be the point where people realise this cancel culture BS has gone too far.

His apology was quite sincere from what I heard. Hopefully the decision is overturned, or that a similar decision will never be made again. |

It's just not realistic, anyone who supports this sort of thing is a hypocrite, these supposedly perfect people who never made any mistakes when they were younger. The worst part about it is that it sends out the message that people can't change. Oh, and it's just come out that another player is also now being investigated for old social media posts, but hasn't been named. It's reached the point where anyone moving into a public position ought to wipe their social media accounts, because sad people will inevitably dig through them looking for something compromising. |

The un-named individual was also 16 when they allegedly posted as well. Someone being investigated for a post they made as a child!
Absolute insanity. This will hopefully increase the speed at which the general population turns against cancel culture and crushes SJW dissent.
