its going to rain for a bit tomorrow

Rahul is lowkey the weirdest player. Such a poor record overseas but he so consistently looks a class above when it comes to batting in tough conditions against fast bowlers.

Probably doesn't speak well to his mental game and prep tbh.

He has 5 hundreds in sena. Wtf are you smoking

Bashir’s nose is wild. It’s like one of those stealth bombers that dropped a load on iran.

 

[Molehill]

India should be really happy with that session. They toughed out a decent period but are easily ahead now, I think.

They are ahead, and now is their opportunity to press on for victory. But they're not showing much intent yet....

And where the **** is first slip????

 

[kevinw]

eh

If India score more than 250, they will probably win. This pitch is doing enough that in the fourth innings, batting will be real tough.

It's still enough of a road that if England bats sensibly they will win as long as it's sub 350, granted that is a big if considering Jamie and Harry literally didn't have functioning brains in the first inning.

Can't believe they didn't have the slip in place. Pant and Lokesh have been lucky today. England have been a lot more accurate and the ball is doing more.

Hope we bat out the day somehow

And yet he averages 31 overseas, which really emphasises my point.

Also chill, there was nothing in that post that required you to fly off the handle

 

[Johan]

I don't get the point of people like Bashir and Jadeja, you just know they won't take wickets, you also know they won't exactly even make chances for a great catch, what's the point of their existence?

this is gonna be a boring draw, nothing in this wicket.

A draw is the least likely outcome unless the weather has it's say.

It's raining tommorrow

 

[Hungry Llama]

Jadega got a lot of turn yesterday, had both brook and someone else dropped, so just cos it looks flat when england are bowling, might
not be so against bumrah and jadega on the last day, that is if the weather allows it.

 

[Johan]

just bad field setting

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

This is becoming frustrating watching.

 

[cnerd123]

Pant is a lucky, lucky boy

But such a gun player

 

[Johan]

Have a feeling India would make 400+

 

[Spark]

Pant's record against England being so much better than his record against Aus feels weird given how large he's loomed over every game he's been involved in against us

EDIT: Though his average is actually identical, which makes sense

 

[Johan]

Bashir is such garbage
