putrevus Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 1 minute ago, Pollack said: Their batsmen are worse than ours. No doubt. No that is not the case, these are some tough batting conditions. Curran chancy innings is the difference between two teams. Don't write off this Indian team so easily, they have lot of fight.
Gollum Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 3 minutes ago, Pollack said: Different conditions. Those were balanced ones for bar and ball. Logic is simple Under crazy swinging conditions, bowlers from both team need to outbowl each other. More responsibility on bowlers. Batsmen is eventually depending on luck not to get Jaffa's. No they weren't. Balance was tilted towards ball almost the entire match. FGS SA batsmen were running away scared and there were talks about calling off that match. The pitch was subsequently rated poor by ICC and narrowly escaped a 1 year ban. Similar argument can be made along the lines that batsmen hold the key in low scoring matches while bowlers are the difference on pattas. I am struggling to think of instances where teams came back to win tests after getting bowled out for 100 odd in 1st innings. I can only recall innings defeats, hammerings and hardly fought draws courtesy heroic stonewalling.
MechEng Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 I'm not following Indian test cricket from now onwards. Not angry at the team, I know it's a difficult format and everyone makes mistakes but following tests needs lots of patience as a fan and overseas tests gives that slow painful feeling. Why invest time in something that stresses you out? Rasgulla 1

DHONI_FANN Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 With little bit of preparation and few more practice sessions we could have actually dominated this test series. Switchblade 1

We are not defending 107. They should be able to bowl world class regardless of first innings score of their own team. Otherwise how are they world class lol.
Karmakar Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 Lords wicket never play so weird we have to bats last 140 -150 impossible here vs woakes
Adi BB Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 So only the pacers are picking up wkts and spinners ain't gonna make much of an inroad. Ridiculous really that we went with 2 spinners here ,what was the TM thinking! Mosher 1

ThePhenomenal1 Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 England will obviously post a lead here but a small lead or large lead is the focus. Once tail is exposed then get kuldeep and ashwin in. I would get ishant and shami to pick at this middle order now.
Straight Drive Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 If only our batsmen had played well, England would not even have got lead.

We showed zero discipline y'day...even Kohli went back to his 2014 methods. No excuse for getting all out under 35 overs no matter how dire the conditions. Switchblade 1

We are still into the match if we restrict them around 150 which is not impossible. Bowlers need to bowl without giving too many loose deliveries and keep building the pressure.
Nikhil_cric Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 Again. Hopefully they learn something from this . In these conditions you play the extra pacer not spinner.

Why invest time in something that stresses you out? That’s why we have 3 formats so fans can follow the ones they prefer! Following Ind’s tests overseas esp in SENA is usually a painful experience. It can mainly be about who bats and bowls well rather than winning .... And mistakes made in this format can be unforgiving Edited August 11, 2018 by zen

Bowlers need to bowl without giving too many loose deliveries and keep building the pressure. 1st innings lead is vital for us in SENA countries. 150 isn't enough luxury considering conditions have eased out now. Bowlers and captain are under serious pressure because they know once the lead crosses 50 we are done and dusted. That is why they are trying too hard, making extra effort to bowl unplayable balls. This happens to every team, even to the greatest bowlers.
GautiMaan Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 Ashwin always wanted to be a specialist batsman,so today his wish is being granted
