killerandflash said:Still baffles me why Buttler is going home after ONE test when the next match is at the same venueSame as Bairstow missing this series, Archer missing the last etc. I think as fans we may be underestimating the mental effect covid may have on the team. We have a lot of cricket in 2021 of various forms (not even talking about the hundred).In non covid times the players would have more freedom, to relax on beaches, walk of an evening, the players families join for parts/all of the tours etc this is so different.15

Great test for England.
How nice was it to get a decent test that lasted five days?3 -
Let's celebrate but not get too carried away, Think India against Australia, They will come back fighting with all guns blazing.2

Is Foakes the keeper for the rest of the series, or will be get dumped after one Test when Bairstow arrives before the 3rd Test? Indeed if Foakes was unfit this week, would Pope have to keep for the 2nd Test?0 -

When England won 2-1 in 2012, India won the first test.
The vital wicket was getting Pujara out early and no one to make a big partnership with Virat Kohli.2 -

England giving world class performances - at cricket!! Anderson, as good a seam bowler as there has ever been - and Root masterclasses.Oh my days - what a time to be alive2

is this bloke the worst post match interviewer ever?1

Great win England.

Bloody Jimmy ruining what would’ve been a great morning to watch cricket! Had even agreed with my missus that I could have the lounge to myself this morning so I could watch the cricket. What an incredible bowler he is, a cloudy day in Manchester that was not.3

Enjoy the victory: since losing the series to England, over eight years ago remains the last time India have lost a Test series on home soil. It's 12 consecutive series wins in India for Virat Kohli's men, a world record.
Should be a great contest in the next 3 matches.

Superb performance. Root never struck me as a natural captain, but team performances and results in the last year or so have been fantastic2

Great match, great result and great to see it played in a great spirit (Indian wicket Keeper in particular joking with our batsmen) so much more enjoyable than the way the Aussies play.

Interesting to hear how Kohli is under a lot of pressure as captain - his 4th defeat on the trot - and how the home TV coverage is focusing on his leadership. Especially as they won in Australia without him and under Rahane.0

would Kohli be bothered about not being captain and concentrating on his batting ?0

England faffed around last night to delay the match this morning. They knew how annoying it would have been for everyone at home if they'd won before many people had got out of bed1 -
