Happy England win with ease day people

India have no ideas and are shell shocked. They will want to get the match finished soon. Bairstow & Root will get their 100s and it will be a good day. Sure we draw the series, India will be happy with that if there was a 5 match series 4-0 or 5-0 to England would be the score. We are the best in the world and are improving, Their are holes to fill and this will happen in time. You may call this arrogance but i call this realism the new world order has come and South Africa are next
It's really hard to mount an argument against any of this tbh

Psychological factors has always been why I've been sceptical of 4th innings chases in general and why I've repeatedly said on here that chases are hard beyond what objective pitch conditions would suggest. But this sort of approach radically changes things and flips it on its head; now it's the bowling side under psychological pressure to get control of the game or it'll be over bar the shouting before they can even react.
That might also go some way towards explaining why Australia have blown a number of 4th innings situations recently, most of them were done in by aggressive knocks from Stokes or Pant. I think as long as the conditions are still flattish I think the sign is to treat biggish 4th innings chases as an effective one-dayer.

Pant has obviously been doing this sort of thing for a while.

Look back to Head in the ashes as well, different scenario as they were not in chases but similar sort of approach.

Think scoring rates had generally dipped in the previous few years so maybe this is a reaction.

It still amazes me that over a decade ago @Burgey decided to combine two things he didn’t like with the term ‘Gambhiring’ and all of CW including his arch-enemies just went along with it and took it into forum lexicon
Arch-enemies? It’s more of a symbiotic yet toxic relationship where parties benefit from each other’s presence - Burgey by gaining likes, dopamine hits (and the occasional mouth on the arsehole) and the ‘enemies’ by standing up for themselves to bullying and putting the fear of being called racist into everyone.

Think it’s 65 35 in Englands favour but England should win from here.

two caveats are I am hearing it’s overcast today so that could be good for India’s seamers also England have a long tail.

Broad at 8? Yeah you have a very long tail mate
broad has a ton, leach has an almost ton, jimmeh has the second most runs ever at his batting position. potts aside they seem formidable to me, a man who has never watched cricket before and only looked at box scores
