Bumrah looking way too comfortable for my liking.
It will be a lot more painful if we lost with target being under 20 runs.All said, somewhat honorable that we've lasted 50 overs. At least there's been some fight, futile as it is.
Oh the game's gone but I'm just keeping one eye on the rest of the series. It would've been even worse if we had just completely capitulated here but at least there's some willingness to gut it out.It will be a lot more painful if we lost with target being under 20 runs.
two proper blockslol they are gonna go after root. He’s gonna get two wickets or concede 30 in two overs.
TBF Nair misjudging a ball doesn't really have much to do with mental toughness.This is what I was talking about with lack of mental toughness. If they had gotten to this point with wickets in hand, the target was very chaseable. But that shot from Jaiswal, that leave from Nair etc - just crap. Not to mention first innings run out and Rahul lazy shot - those mistakes were worth more than the 58 runs here. And that’s not being outskilled - that’s just all mental.
Probably not. He has real technical issues. But a cluttered mind can obviously cause an error in judgement too.TBF Nair misjudging a ball doesn't really have much to do with mental toughness.
Draw not out of the picture yet.1 run an over
We are behind the required run rate. Need to speed things up a bit!
I’m shocked honestly.two proper blocks
