Anyone who watches a lot of test match cricket over the years new what was coming one that pitch against those bowlers! It’s so tough should we go all out attack or just sit in? The answer they ain’t one you will get out with just a few runs whatever you do on that Pitch. A few of Indian players can go all out attack against our bowlers we ain’t as good. That’s why the pitch they wanted was one that spins from day one because even if India lose the toss they still in the game we lose it and it’s a lost test match. All we can hope for in the next two test matches we win the toss and get a half decent score.

Hope we don’t moan about the wicket and just say we expected a big turning wicket all we hope for is to win the toss bat first

 

[Out on blue 6]

Pretty unplayable that.

We can’t even go all out attack in this wicket against these bowlers!

That’s what test cricket is in India. The toss is vital.

India prepare their pitches to suit them. If we win the next two tosses, we have a chance to win the series. Lose them and we lose 3-1.

Commentators just said they have never seen a pitch like this ever in day two so yep you go to India and expect turning wickets but not one that turns bounces spits on day two.

Agreed. We let them get about 200 too many.
