Very glad they cut the tests down into a two match series so we could watch this thrilling spectacle…
Anderson and Bashir in for Wood and Leach. An India team with fewer test runs than Joe Root. What are your predictions for the 2nd test? Let us know below, and listen to ep10 of Teatime Declarations here podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
We love a redemption story here at Teatime Drclarations - eg. Fawad Alam, Adam Voges - but has a cricketing resurrection ever happened as quickly as for Tom Hartley?? #INDvENG
Bloody Joe Root, ruining Tom Hartley’s chances of debut 10fer…
Can’t wait for Durban’s Super Giants v Paarl Royals later. This test cricket is so dull.
Suff and fie upon all those who say that test cricket is boring, or dying, or a relic of the past! Find us a celebration in a routine T20 like the end of the Aus v WI match. Find us tension like right now in Hyderabad!
Turns out not having an excitable Kohli at slip costs Bumrah use of DRS and therefore saves Duckett from three reds. Small margins #INDvsENG
Halved the deficit. Cue some Bon Jovi from the Barmy Army bugler #INDvsENG
New episode - Sky Sports: heroes or villains?? As we enjoy watching India v England, you may not know that there might not have been any TV coverage at all, if it hadn’t been for a last minute deal. Teatime Declarations discuss the effect of media on cricket.

So, 177 days off English test cricket. And one day down listening to #INDvsENG on TNT or TalkSport (not Sky or Test Match Special). What’s the verdict? We discuss this and other media matters in the latest podcast episode open.spotify.com/episode/6dQy...
Now if India (and England) can’t bowl 30 overs an hour with these bowling line ups, I think we should all agree it’s a ridiculous target. India did 28 in the first session #INDvsENG
177 days wait but English test cricket is back! And we’re here for it #INDvsENG
The return of English test cricket is THIS WEEK! It’s been a long slog since the end of the Ashes, but we’re almost there!
South Africa is sports mad, but did banning international sport in the country really contribute to the fall of the Apartheid regim? We discuss this and more in the latest Teatime Declarations pod. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/2D1N...
Meanwhile lots to celebrate in Bangalore. A Kohli golden duck. Rohit carrying his bat. Then retiring in a super over to bring in a quicker runner. Justified because a) he was run out in the second super over. And b) India won! #INDvsAFG
What a debut so far for Shamar Joseph. 5fer, wickets with his first and last ball, and a fighting run a ball 36 as part of a half century stand for the last wicket. This is his 6th ever first class match remember #AUSvsWI
The D'Oliveira Affair brings into focus the corridor of uncertainty between sports and politics. Competing interests, shady dealings, and an unfortunately timed Ashes century, we review the lead up to the cancelled English tour of Apartheid South Africa in 1968: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
Today remembering Peter Judge. Glamorgan bowler, last man in vs a touring India side in 1948. Out bowled 1st ball. Glamorgan were asked to follow on, and with little time left, the captain decided to forgo the 10 min break and open the batting along with Judge, who was bowled 2nd ball. Sobering.
A big Teatime Declarations shout out to Nikhil Chaudhary for getting stumped off a wide first ball and achieving a statistical quirk in today’s Hurricanes loss to the Strikers #ThanksForComing #BBL #WatchOutForAlexCarey
And now our sixth! Aus women lose their last 5 wickets for 29 runs! Presumably there will be howls about the downfall of IT20 batting now…
Woo! Our fourth and fifth rides on the collapse train of the week!
Absolutely bonkers day of cricket at Newlands! CSA’s decision to prioritise T20 looking more facile by the day. In fact, not even by the day - by the over!!
