Well that makes two of us!I think India are a pacer short. Playing with 2.5 pacers isn't gonna cut it.
We've got 1.2 pacers I think.Well that makes two of us!
Granted the parallels aren’t all there (India’s bowlers certainly aren’t as fearsome as Australia’s, and I doubt the 4th innings will be as much of a minefield as then), but I still get nightmares about the first Ashes Test in 2019 when Jimmy got injured, we had Australia in an even worse position but still got nowhere near despite getting a first innings leadLosing Woakes does somewhat balance the odds. But if England get like 150-200 run lead, then it won't matter as India won't win.. so the match will now be decided by how the next innings goes (Eng's batting). Lack of Woakes will only become a factor if Eng don't get a decent lead against Prasidh Krishna and co.
fun fact normally the aim is to bat when the conditions are flatIndia need to score very quickly and get out! Get bowling before the conditions completely flatten out.
Extra 30-40-50 runs won't matter, if conditions become much easier to bat.
