Flat pitch to ensure cook gets a big hundred.....

Eng 500-600 runs...

[Sandeep99]

Woah what a flat pitch! Cook guaranteed a hundred and Root guaranteed a double..

Siraj should have been picked after 3rd test tbh, there is no point in making him fly just for this dead rubber now.
You are too harsh on vihari, ffs this is his first game and let's see how he deals with the situation moreover nair is not international class after 300 he has scored peanuts,.so vihari over nair is a good decision
 
 

I'm not being Harsh on Vihari.
I am just saying dropping Pandya for him was just clueless IMO.

Nair is bad I agree

Opening ,middle order barring Kohli is a huge concern ,not a huge fan of Pandya neither I say he is the only problem,the so called experts have failed us yet again

[UrmiSinhaRay]

That's an added benefit if you come from Delhi and besides he did try out Karthik first ahead of Pant. 

Shaw is from Mumbai.
I think if Shaw can sign with Bunty+colour his hair and get some tattoo, I believe he can get a shot.

that bowler shud do something 1st.....he himself in patches go for plenty of runs 

And we struggling to put runs on board 

5th bowler is always underused.....having one extra wnt make diff 

We need to make do with what we have. Umesh has shown he can take wickets when the ball is reversing during the second innings of the first test, although Kohli was late to utilise him. 

 

The fifth blower will make a lot of difference with the runs scored by the opposition.

Who is watching this ? I will never watch this team under a pathetic captain and bewda coach.Never again !! Too much time wasted on these idiots who will never learn.

[UrmiSinhaRay]

Going through the motions out there. Kohli already given up and off the field with Rahane now the captain. 

Rahane Captain>>>Kohli Captain

Kohli is honestly reminding me of the Chairman of Our school's Fest committee.
This guy was the son of my school's vice principal (Nepotism Rocks).
He used to love hanging around with the tags of Prefect, Fest Committee chairperson
And when the time came to actually do the work, he handed it all to us, the other committee members and run off.

Kohli loves hanging around with the tag captain but hates taking the responsibility.
I now totally understand why some Team members are supposedly angry with him

No yaar, dorping or resting pandya is not clueless considering a fact that this is a dead rubber, we have Asia cup and a game against Pakistan coming up, and pandya is crucial for the success of it.

So i would say a well deserved rest and a wise decision.

Looks no help for pacers. England scoring 400 - 500? Cook to get 100+?

[RAZPOR]

England still have some motivation....our team seems to have lost all after loosing the last one too after coming close.its showing

[Lala]

Good tight bowling by India. Keep it up. Good Luck! 

[Ankit_sharma03]

ISnt vihari jst a part timer????? how is he bowling ahead of jadeja n shami

[Sachinism]

Yeh Vihari looks a proper part timer

Pant has been brilliant behind the stumps in last 2 games...he is a speacilist keeper ...what catches have pant dropped

Are u sure u hve seen pant keep, coz m sure u have mistakenly seen parthiv patel keepiing

There were drops here and there, notably Buttler off Bumrah (who went on to get a century - luckily, match was won regardless, but you can imagine the importance in a closer match).

Also, the extras he conceded were about half the margin of defeat ...

[sandsaims]

Looks like a big total is coming up.

Which match?
3rd wala aur 4th ?
That said, Saha is our best Keeper.
We missed him on this tour.
