I think this does however prove without a shadow of a doubt that he was innocent in Sydney 08. Him stringing enough syllables together to call Symonds a monkey is enough of a stretch, any of the Australians understanding his English is beyond any realms of possibility.

Yet in the first two Tests it was England doing this to India in similar conditions.

There's a lot of cricket to be played in this Test, reckon 210 would be a score to set the Test up (sans Kohli ton).

Batting was still terrible though even with us winning. Lucky in first test thanks to Curran and Woakes dug us out of a hole with the Bairstow partnership in 2nd despite the awful Indian batting in the first innings.

Ali halfway to that jammy 50 I predicted

Curran is such an annoying little ****. Bugger off you talented wonderkid save this **** for Australia and the Ashes

Bumrha, Ahswin and Isahnt have been a bit wayward. Bring Sahmi back on.

Moeen being saved by the fact he's not moving forward at all - lack of commitment means ball keeps passing the outside edge.

stfu everyone, this 50 run partnership is clearly because we lost focus and stopped gambhiring

I'd love to see Ashwin get a couple of overs at Ali concentrating on using his overspin here. As soon as it's quick Ali's front foot stays nice and loose, doesn't over commit. When the ball gets above the eyeline, it braces as he looks to drive and that's when the LBW or catch in front of the wicket is on.

Curious case of Ashwin - does well in an innings or two overseas,with bat & bowl, then goes missing in the rest of the series?

Woo! This is a partnership of mammoth proportions, after what had gone on earlier.
Curran has played well; on a normal day Ali would have been out roughly 23 times.

Ali has done well not fishing for deliveries outside off, surprisingly well.

Harsh, he was injured last match. And this pitch is not turning at all so at least he is keeping it under 1.5 an over

Yeah, at the very least Ashwin never lets up pressure when it's not his turn to strike in overseas Tests. Helps build pressure - sometimes you've got to be content with that being your role.

I mean, I think he can afford to attack a bit more with Ali at the crease, but he gets his role in the team and how it changes really well.
