Adi BB Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 By the way why did root decide to bowl first on this wkt? India are pathetic chasers and hardly ever won a match batting last under kohli away from home.this looks a perfect bat first pitch and I think root has given India the initiative to take this match to England. The score is pretty decent after lunch ,if India scores above 230 ,it's India's game ! Link to comment

Only looked to have one bad shot against broad but that ball was unplayable. He showed intent and didn't look that troubled. Really bad shot to get out. Link to comment

It's possible that the pitch will get better to bat on day 2, in England there's usually moisture on day 1 and when it dries out the batting is much easier and fluent. Link to comment

zen Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Not thinking about how Ind does as a team atm. More interested in seeing how youngsters like Pandya and Pant perform SandeepMotta and SK_IH 2 Link to comment
zen Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Teams would gladly give away 100 runs in most conditions to pick up 3 top/middle order wkts so the session was Eng’s Edited August 18, 2018 by zen RAZPOR and SandeepMotta 1 1 Link to comment
zen Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) I hope that Rahane does well (could have come in at 7). But the timer countdown to his wkt has probably started Edited August 18, 2018 by zen Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I have zero confidence in the current team in current form. I am not watching. But i bet each ball against our Indians (bar Kohli) comes with "Easy wicket" written on it. It is only a matter of time before they fold for another paltry total. That will be 5th in a row.

Brainfade Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Truly jealous of the talent options that the Poms have. They pick up Sam Curran, he rattles us in Match 1. Stokes sits, Woakes plays, kills us in Test 2. Now they have the luxury of sitting Match 1 hero Curran. Quite a happy headache for Root. Edited August 18, 2018 by Brainfade zen 1 Link to comment

Come to India Seriously though, the results could've been totally different had we won the first game and won the toss at Lords. The importance of toss cannot be overstated in England.

Maybe the new guys will help bolster the m. Link to comment
