Global.Baba Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 2 Looooong days coming up. Heroic batting by Pujara but should have been a 200+ lead and shut shop on England but we screwed it up. No confidence in Ashwin. Shami and Ishant are hit or miss. Pandya is Pandya. What should have been 3-1 up going into 5th test will be 3-1 in England's favor. Tridibans_16 1 Link to comment

Number Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The way we batted against Moeen and taking 4th innings in count, I also feel this game is over. sandsaims and Adi BB 2 Link to comment
Global.Baba Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 squandered golden opportunities. Should have been total annihilation. This is not jinx. Very bad taste in my mouth the way we messed it up. sandsaims and Tridibans_16 1 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I too have a bad feeling. If we lose this series at Rose Bowl I will probably lose interest in Indian cricket....... the combination of the SA loss and a potential loss here will hit me harder than 0-8 with that ageing team. At least in 2011 we had the memory of the home WC win to ease the pain. I am dumbfounded, 5 wickets to Moeen Ali's tripe on this pancake? How is he still in our heads? We manhandled him in the 2016 series, how do we still gift him wickets? Turning_track 1 Link to comment
Adi BB Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Same here,I think we'll lose this badly in the end .for the 3rd test i had confidence of a comeback once we were put into bat by root . India can only win in away matches if we get to bat first ,simple Link to comment
sensible-indian Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Many hav a bad feeling but you hav to push through and keep the hopes up. Let's see what this team is made up of. Either way we will get a clear answer. Link to comment
sandsaims Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 England the clear favorites now. Our inept middle order totally lost the plot which has been the norm oflate . Rahane need to be dropped atleast as a wake up call. Link to comment
FreakazoiD Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 England are well capable of collapsing for 150. Don't lose hope just yet! YCCC 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Might be the last day as an Indian team follower for me. Dhoni made me lose interest in cricket in 2011-12, Kohli's team brought me back. Now if this team surrenders tomorrow I'll have no hope left in Indian cricket. Will be good in a way, will waste less time and may be make more time for other sports/athletes that don't disappoint me this much. Link to comment
Turning_track Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Even after Kohli's departure we could've been in the driver's seat today. I'm not even talking about building an innings just good starts of a few 30s by the batsmen & we could've got a much healthier lead. Scores of 11,0,4 & 1 by Rahane, Pant, Hardik, Ash is absolutely horrific at this crucial juncture of the series. Gifted all those wickets to Moeen on a platter. We have to chase last & frankly I'm not confident of chasing anything above 160. I'd be very happy if I'm proven wrong. Link to comment
Gollum Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Lyon will be closely following this series, the old wounds have been reopened. Ali may well bowl only knee height full tosses in the 4th innings and we will make him the next Kumble/Laker, I mean wtf was that passage of play where we lost the plot in a span of 2-3 overs? Without a doubt the lowest quality of bowling I have ever seen fetching a 5 wicket haul, against Pak/Lanka/BD same Ali would have gone at 5 RPO with may be 1 grace wicket to show.

Austin 3:!6 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Any team batting last on this track would be in a disadvantage. Hence it was imperative for India to bat well in this innings but we screwed it up due to some poor batting and dumb umpiring. Now Eng just need to score 250 odd and India will lose.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk GoldenSun 1 Link to comment
jalebi_bhai Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Game is finely balanced despite the middle order collapse. England have messed up as much as we have in this Test. Side that holds their collective nerve wins. Link to comment
R.D forever Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 If openers survive first hour then the game is gone. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Only chance is bowling them out for 50 runs Link to comment

ravishingravi Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 India is in good position. I don’t think this team has the nerve though. Link to comment
