***Official*** England in India 2016/17

Saha appealing as he actually caught something?

For a guy who squats all day, Saha has chicken thighs.

 

[Blocky]

I can see it's flatter, but India scored similar first innings totals against NZ on those wickets we couldn't survive a couple of overs from Ashwin and the screamer for that matter. Flat wicket or not, it's still day 5.

Edit: And as I say that, it took Mistra to breakthrough.

Have you seen a single ball go underground like it did in our series? But I agree, our batsmen are much more prone to making stupid errors than the English are which has played a part

 

[Zinzan]

He hasn't been appealing as much owing to England batsmen having hit the ball more

Didn't stop him in the previous series... even some off the middle of the bat.

Maybe give India 40 overs and a 320 chase? Could see Kohli having a go at it.

 

[Cabinet96]

Remembering when Jadeja had Cook caught down the leg side for 95.

Undoubtedly the yummiest bit.

Since when do endurance athletes have anything other than chicken legs?

You had Guptill and they have Cook. Your post is invalid.

 

[Zinzan]

That was the point.

Just making it categorical, because I think he is that.

 

[indiaholic]

Better than abdv?

That fact makes my post valid. I'm in agreement with you, it's the batsmen more than the pitch as Blocky was suggesting.

 

[Cabinet96]

But your average Joe.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good plan this, keep Mishra in the side by gifting a few wickets.

 

[vcs]

Yay! Good bowling by Mishra, agricultural heave by Root there.

 

[Howe_zat]

thanks zinzan jeez

 

[Shri]

Don't see Cook declaring unless the lead is over 350, which is a hundred runs away. Should take another 20 overs and that will ensure a draw.

 

[Blocky]

That fact makes my post valid. I'm in agreement with you, it's the batsmen more than the pitch as Blocky was suggesting.

Latham isn't a scrub, Williamson isn't a scrub, Taylor at the moment happens to be a scrub, but would normally have dominated in these types of conditions.

 

[Blocky]

Root actively trying to hit out, after watching his captain and the other opening batsman bat at a snail pace on an easy wicket... that's a great team member, but it's not how he can keep his average up with the likes of Smith who would never do that.

 

[Pothas]

Find this a bit strange when Duckett can be such an aggressive player.
