Horses for courses. Green on pitch & overcast conditions against this fragile line up means he wants to put us to play catch up in an hour or two.

But by taking this gamble he has failed to see the larger picture. A greedy pawn capture over looking long term strategic imbalance . We have enough compensation here.

 

2nd day->Overcast, rainy....we can force them to bat then if we show discipline today

Pitch brown and dry grass....Ashwin will enter the party later on

Our chasing prowess.....we are the worst 4th innings team in world cricket atm

Batsmen form/confidence....will be better if we bat with no scoreboard pressure

Nope, getting beaten by both, and that's how he is.

[Gollum]

Hang in there boys, very soon Root will regret his stupidity.

[Clarke]

Chalo Dhawan outscored Vijay, he's set for remaining games.

[Turning_track]

Dhawan played the last shot like his real self & just survives. Lucky any slip fielder didn't get his hand to it. 

[LordPrabhzy]

chalo atleast none of our openers has a duck this innings..

Anderson on 99 vs India- 30 must be only of sachin+kohli+dhoni

[Nikhil_cric]

Ball will start swinging after 10th over or do after the lacquer starts coming off.

Still can't fathom the logic behind Root's decision, overconfidence? Or does ECB want a competitive test series? They have surrendered their pre-game advantage, LOL it's a bat 1st, win the match scenario.

When captain , never let opening bowlers champing at the bit cloud your judgement.

i dont think ashwin will be able to get any purchase as this pitch is seeming like lords pitch only...totally seem friendly.

[Clarke]

Broad is the worst among Eng bowlers, even Curran is better than him these days.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Dhawan will stay on this tour now for 4th n 5th test
