The Indian batsmen went down England’s probing pace on Day 2 of the second Test match at Lord’s. James Anderson bowled brilliantly as India were all out for 107 in the first innings on Friday.

What a remarkable day for England. It is safe to say that this English side has the best bowling attack in Test cricket at the moment. James Anderson was having the time of his life at Lord’s.  He got the hosts off to a great start after dismissing both Murali Vijay (0) and KL Rahul (8) early in the innings. Just when India looked like settling in, Cheteshwar Pujara (1) got caught in a mix up with skipper Virat Kohli and the former was run out before heavy rains interrupted the play. The game resumed in the third session and Chirs Woakes bowled a dream of a delivery to send off the in-form Virat Kohli for 23. It was Edgbaston all over again from thereon as India succumbed to pace and were all out for 107. England topped the sessions on Day 2 and it seems very hard for India to come back in this test match.

Meanwhile Rohit Sharma, a star player of Indian cricket team and the captain of Mumbai Indians team made an important statement on India’s bad performance which was not convincing for most of the cricket followers and his followers. He used his twitter account to express his opinion on the the batsmen performance.

Rohit wrote “Let’s not forget these are the players who got India to the number 1 ranking. How about being little supportive when the going gets tough. This is our team”

For this tweet of him fans attacked him back with their comments for India always performing bad in away matches particularly in England.

Check out the comments here :

Let’s not forget that these players (included you) have always Failed in the Away Test Series…

And, the credit of number one rank goes to our Home Pitches….

EVERY team plays good at home. When england came here how did they fare?

— Mehar (@Meharpreet13) August 10, 2018

In that series, England scored 400+ in three or four occasions.

And for your kind information. This is not the first Tour of England. Most of these Indian players had played in England in 2014…

If this mindset will continue, let’s forget about an away Test Series win.

What’s that foreign conditions excuse ??
The players are there since one or two months. Aren’t they aware of English conditions ??
This excuse was acceptable in 2014 Tour, but not on this one.

We are laughing when Afganistan team did not play 35 overs in test.

Same situation like Amateur.

— Chacha pon$tar (@hateme_007) August 10, 2018

Lol… Becomes no 1 by playing 1 year at home…
A team gets no 1 status when it wins outside the home, away from its comfortable zone…

2011 Same Story
2014 Same Story
2018 Same so far.
Well we as Indian Cricket fans are patient and supportive.
