TNAmarkFromIndia Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 194 seems out of reach for India at 79/5. Would we have been able to chase 130-odd if we got Sam Curran out early?
MechEng Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 The big if, we did not get him out and that's the fact, that's what makes tests unique, the ups and downs.
rkt.india Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 they were 87/7, we are 94/5. Be positive. ball getting older by every over. it got easier to bat as ball got older in last two innings. Switchblade and Clarke 1 1

adi B Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Yes but the problem is we've got to bear the burden of a failed top order as well as their catching .guys like dhawan are genuine match losers in these conditions firstly because of their batting technique and secondly their slip catching technique Gollum, express bowling and Sgattick10 1 2

Be positive. ball getting older by every over. it got easier to bat as ball got older in last two innings. This! Their top gun was Curran, we got King Kohli & some batting left in DK & Pandya as opposed to Rashid & Broad.
Gollum Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Thanks to Dhawan who dropped Curran when the latter was on 13. SandeepMotta and velu 2
msb1991 Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Don't agree with this thread. England were 210/3 in the first innings. India were then 100/5 in response. That's Test cricket! Mosher and express bowling 2

That's Test cricket! Exactly, just have to accept this is one of those topsy turvy test matches. Reminiscent of the famous 2005 Ashes test match here. Could well get that close.

express bowling Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 The English team have not come here to sell potatoes. They are playing in their own country and are likely to provide some resistance at some point. This is test cricket. Laaloo, MK55, Ankit_sharma03 and 5 others 8

gattaca Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Should bowled Umesh early. He was kept too late. Mosher 1

It’s been a problem for a long time though with this team we are pathetic overseas, so if we have to win in these conditions we have to take these catches. Edited August 4, 2018 by Switchblade
CoverDrive Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Yes of course but anyone would have taken 190 odd to chase after being behind. There are no ifs and buts in sports. Root could not have tried to take that second run and they could have scored 500 Ishant got Bairstow Stokes and Buttler in one over. These guys could have easily extended score lot more. Some fightback is expected. My frustration if any is with Rahane who got out at wrong time. This was Taylor made for a nice 30 from him
