We need RAIN. Our bowling is paper thin.Deep, a nightwatchman, scored 66. That's more than England's highest scorer in the first innings (Crawley, 64). Laughable. Once you stop crying.
Dull, lifeless pitches just like in India. (Ok I know India has been trying to change that.)Just come in looks like it’s going end up 2-2 all down for me to England being complete shite in the field batting and bowling been shite! While India for me been better in most tests!
Think we been unlucky with the injuries to our bowlers!
Think we drew this series because one our bowlers and two our fielding mainly! Oh the pitches have been Indian favoured for me!
What's "fair" got to do with it?Think a drawn series would be a fair result tbh.
We've done it a few times. But I wouldn't be confident. We could do with chasing less than 300, but that looks unlikely. Where the lead is now would be enough!So can we chase 350?
Who's the fielding coach? He needs sacking!
So can we chase 350?
6 drops in a single innings is ridiculously high, though. One (maybe two) could possibly be classed as difficult chances, but these are supposedly classed as elite cricketers. Do this in the winter, and it'll cost us big time. It actually looks like it'll cost us here. How many runs have been scored by Indian batsmen after they've been dropped in this innings? Jaiswal alone scored 98 more after being dropped on 20. I'm guessing somewhere between 125 and 150 runs?First 3 tests England were really good in the field, I think we’re just seeing the effect of 5 tests in 6 weeks and some very long days in the field.
I’ll be betting against it, I’m not sure we’ll get half way. Still a lot in this pitch for the bowling side - should they have the bowlers to exploit it.So can we chase 350?
Day 2 had 15 wickets falling and run-rate of over 4. How is it dull and lifeless ?Dull, lifeless pitches just like in India. (Ok I know India has been trying to change that.)
I think most experts have said it gets easier to bat on and with us being a bowler down it was always going to be a tough day (especially as we have holey hands!)Dull, lifeless pitches just like in India. (Ok I know India has been trying to change that.)
