Ashwin WAFG! We could've bowled them out for way less if Ashwin had started after lunch and Saha wasn't a ****. Regardless, amazing stuff to get them out this cheaply after losig the toss. Need to pile them on now. Innings win or bust.

Hilarious that we got them for 182 in the first innings and yet we have a bowler who conceded 68 runs in 11 overs within that.

Big fan of Varun Aaron,but hard to consistently defend him when he goes for so many runs without wickets.

Wondering whether the bowling changes were to justify the 5 bowler strategy.. I don't understand it's utility when you are playing two spinners.

I've always said 5 bowlers will do nothing for India, since our fifth bowler will be **** anyway. People forget that our bowlers got tired after bowling ****. They didn't start bowling **** after getting tired.

How does that shunt Thirimanne continually get picked. Averaging 25 in 20 Tests and he is number 3? Jesus.

To give full context, he averages 20 in 19 tests against teams who aren't Bangladesh.

Yeah doesn't really compute. I think Shastri saw that Mitch bowled well in 4-5 over spells and somehow concluded that Umesh and Aaron were part of the same breed?

5 bowlers wouldn't have hurt in the tests we could have won in SA and NZ.

I dunno. In SA Dhoni kept bowling Zaheer till he broke anyway. Didn't even give Shami enough overs to get tired. Don't think a 5th would've helped in making Dhoni less stupid with bowler rotation.
