he's a better batsman

Ha ha no way. You were doing what Johan is doing right now, saying India will win by 3 wickets and so and so, both of which were nonsensical at the point of time.

He's a better bat than the guys who came ahead of him - basically a no.6 coming in at no.8. Just need to see off Archer.Coz he can defend better. That was an all timer of a catch by Jofra though. This has just been a perfect little session for England, everything they have touched has turned to gold. When its the deciding session of the test, that is always handy.
And inspite of the obviously false moaning by moanhill and jerking by tjb, I think the injury to Pant has cost us quite a bit in this test. For starters, there would have been fewer byes and legbyes down the legside as he is especially good at cutting those off and there would have obviously been more runs.
That said, I think we lost the game when we did not bat for a big enough lead in the first dig (the Pant run out and the Rahul wicket were needless and our tail was blown away without a fight too, Akash's shot esp. stupid). And England won the game by really being pumped up in this last innings, much like the 2021 test and really getting everything on the deck.

Agreed, when you ignore about 50% of what hb says he makes sense

Really? I don't think so.

Whatever it takes!!!
Yeah the guy who can bat cant catch and the guy who can catch cant bat.
I still think will give Nair the series. The thing about Bazball is they always come down harder after a great win like this one. So maybe OT will do the trick for us.

I have no idea what you're talking about. India haven't been perfect but they've played extended periods of excellent cricket. The entirety of the bowling performance yesterday was superb. England have just been a bit better. If you want to have a miserable waaahhh go ahead, but saying India haven't had fight is just boneheaded. They've just been outplayed in the final stretch which is allowed to happen, its not been like the first test which felt self inflicted because of the dozen drops..

Siraj to bop Archer over his head for six for the win

Yeah basically we have fought hard with a younger team that is still looking to estabish itself. They were far worse when they were here, for example. The thing is though this side should continue to get better. I hope they keep their feet grounded enough to do that.
My biggest worry is they seem to take it a bit easy everytime we do well. The short turnaround between the tests have not helped but there was some lazy strokes in the first innings.

Woakes was inspirational. He's also obviously worked with Archer and Stokes a lot and imparted his knowledge.
