Below average spinner bowling both sehwag and tendulkar. If India lose to spin in India, they should give up their Test status.

It was a good ball though, beat him in flight at a decent pace, pitched on middle-leg and pegged back the off stump. Good delivery for any SLA.

Ultimately though it's Sachin's fault for trying to play across the line when he wasn't to the pitch of the ball.

Ponting and Tendulkar obviously having a race to see who can reduce their batting average the most before they retire.

People underrating Panesar. He's always been a quality operator given the right surface, even against good players of spin.

Mind, from Englands POV, I don't think Sehwag and Sachin are the big wickets anymore, Its Kohli and this other kid.

That's not a good look
No, decent nut, in fact a jolly good one, but Sachin made it look a lot better. Gave us a good look at his off stump.

Reminded me of Punter's yesterday, actually. Obviously MF RA versus SLA but both were fullish deliveries leaving ATGs knocking their off pole out of the ground. One kinda suspects both men in their cups would've dealt with the balls rather better.

Yeah, true. Ppl not giving due credit to the guy. If you bowl a decent ball to someone in the twilight if their careers and when they aren't in, you stand a good chance of getting them.

Yeah, looks a serious player, the boy. Seems to have a firm grasp on his strengths; happy to sway and duck away from the short stuff until he got that wide and high one.

Great start by England, good toss to lose so far the way it has worked out. Getting fed up of this Pujara kid, the anteater can bat a bit.

Fantastic to see Monty back and taking wickets, not bad for someone who nobody seems to rate.
