[@IITianProudIndian]

Was watching it live from India, and it was franzkly awesome to watch. Great grounds, full house and most importantly, brilliant analysis and commentary. Contrast to the rubbish that we see in India-Hazy pictures, pathetic commentary(Rohan gavaskar, akash chopra, manjrekar ROFL) and gambling ads every 5 mins, and unbearable hype! And the worst-corrupt politicians hogging the limelight.

[@Kartfx]

Every single word is so so true mate

[@rahuljacobgeorge573]

Truly we need to improve the quality of stadiums like better stands and sponsors which will bring in a lot of crowd for test matches like in eng .only Ahmedabad and maybe wankhede and Eden are exceptional .rest are trash .bcci has the money just need to restructure it .

[@nakulpisolkar2861]

Full house is quite relative because English ground capacity is quite less as compared to most other international grounds. Having said that yes agree that England and Australia really promote Test cricket a lot more than India does

Bit harsh for KP to state that 1,2 and 3 aren’t good enough . They’re early in their careers and need to be given time .

[@pankuthakkar]

bruh they' ve got enough time man

[@southpawlibranine3511]

Lol zack crawley is there because rob key likes to suck off crawleys dad. Duckett has left 8 balls since his teat return. You cant do that against australia. And pope cant play spin or high pace

[@southpawlibranine3511]

Zac crawley has only played 14 less tests than cummins or rohit sharma. He averages 28

[@javedsultan4830]

thats one thing about KP, he speaks the truth.. and people get offended.

[@NishantSharma-vf2wd]

Ben Stokes is a lot like Rohit Sharma as both asked their team to bat aggressively and fearlessly (Stokes in tests and Rohit in t20is before T20 world cup last year) without caring about result and more importantly giving security to players that they won't be dropped after a few failures but they are not lead from the front kind of captains and this approach has not suited them individually but the team has/had done well.

[@debasismohanty1952]

How many series Ben stocks win against strong teams as a captain so far in his career plz answer he beat weak new zealand team 3-0 in England beat struggling South Africa 2-1 at home beat struggling second string pakistan 3-0 in Pakistan draw series against struggling new zealand side 1-1 in new zealand Bangladesh draw test series in new zealand 1-1 bro only australia india England doing well in test cricket at the moment rest are struggling don't over Praise Ben stocks England will play 5 match test series in india next year real test waiting for this English team

[@thiru_asc1]

Don't compare even one bit on Rohit Sharma a timid and a conservative captain,we all saw what captaincy he did in the last 20-20world cup,how badly they were thrashed in the semifinals because of timid approach by the batters...Rohit and dravid is the worst combo ever with disastrous selections

[@debasismohanty1952]

@@thiru_asc1 I never said Rohit Sharma is better captain then Ben stocks but stocks achive nothing special as a captain yet Rohit Sharma also win test series at home conditions easily and everyone knows beating IND in india next to impossible only australia challenges IND but still loss 2-1 in last series but this England team can't challenge IND in india because England don't have any quality spinners and axer Patel Ashwin jadeja combination will eat English bating line up

@@debasismohanty1952 Look a captain is defined by how you Play,more than last 1year, England have Played positive cricket,no other team plays in such a fashion and they are playing same way match after match ...which is why it is great ,yes Eng lost the previous series but that both captains be it india or England were different so comparison,just see today in the first Ashes test which is ongoing, England have declared their innings at 393/8 in just 78 overs almost at a run rate of 5.0 which is excellent,they could have easily played further but they are trying to get some quick wickets ..This is how you Play ,not like how india under Rohit Sharma played in the WTC finals ,a totally unfit captain and coach ,ruining Indian cricket team ,india stands no chance in the one day world cup in india as along as these two are together

T20 is nowhere near as big as tests in England, that's why they made the hundred to try and recapture some interest. Don't fall into the trap of thinking because India plays and loves T20 that its the same everywhere.

Next WTC should be held outside of the UK. The Umpires - specially the 3rd Umpire have to be truly neutral, unlike the last WTC 2023. Hopefully - the subcontinent which has more attendance, will be able to host the Finals. If BCCI has to use the muscle and money, they should. England Hosted the ODI world cups. Unless all teams still want to be obligated and stay colonial.

Ask the players. I bet they'd say 'Lords'. NB: I wouldn't, by the way. It's always been too expensive for non-members.

@heretichello8253 No one 'says lords'(sic) except every (non-English) cricketer that I've ever spoken to: Farokh Engineer, Sir Clive Lloyd, Sir Vivian Richards, Wasim Akram, Greg Matthews... I'm not in the least bothered about the place, personally. On the very rare occasions that I've watched Middlesex 'at home' it's been at Uxbridge or Southgate. I think most English people - certainly from The North - prefer to watch test matches at Edgbaston, really. But for my Aussie, Kiwi, Indian and Pakistani colleagues and acquaintances it's always Lords, Lords, bleedin' Lords... The 'myth', as you so appropriately put it, is more of a 'foreign' construct than an English one. Best wishes, no matter the content of your response, or lack of it.
