I just think India will bowl more consistently put the ball in the right place more often than we did! We just bowled to many bad balls! Also when we got a wicket apart from yesterday we got a wicket and there was big partnerships we will lose 2/3 in more clumps with no big partnerships

We can give wickets away500 test wickets for Ashwin. Soft dismissal.
Like this and we need to keep this up, have a partnership once a wicket goes down! Crawly just wasn't himself in that innings to passive and his shot was a soft shot he usually goes hard at them.. still 300+ behind so long way to go! Just don't lose wickets in clumps..

It's moments like this when you can see the reason Bazball can be so effective - this pitch has probably got 2 to 3 good days before it starts spinning round corners and the bounce goes and with most test sides conceding 450 runs innings 1 would end the test.
But when you can go along a 6rpo you can just create so much more time in the game. They can give themselves a platform to win.
The problem is they only have one speed. If they ever work out when to slow things down as well, or that they can take the occasional slow 5-10 overs to get new batsmen in, they might really be a great team.

Agree years gone by we be going for 1.8 runs per over going nowhere! 1st innings big runs is so important in places like India

That’s a fantastic innings from Duckett, so far. I really hope he goes on to make it a big or double hundred. Interesting style, I can’t think of another test batsman who basically never lets a ball go by, has there been one?

No, and for good reason.
Shahid Afridi? But he was an all-rounder, not an out and out batsman.That’s a fantastic innings from Duckett, so far. I really hope he goes on to make it a big or double hundred. Interesting style, I can’t think of another test batsman who basically never lets a ball go by, has there been one?

Only this England team can concede 445 before tea on the second day and it still feels like they are in command. Result of this game aside I’ve not seen a team since the Aussie bastards really give it the big one in India.
