That has been his problem for a while , far too chest on all for his mysterious balls instead of more side on  and pivoting over his front knee 

No lol. 

 

Its due to hip problem

 

First 2 tests he was properly side on.

I said for a while! 

Yes in this series he reverted to more of a side on position but previously he was bowling more chest on

Oh my bad.

 

True.

All will be over before lunch tomorrow.

How  is the pitch behaving? Any turn on offer?

[motomaverick]

So Ashwin is injured, which means we are a bowler short.

 

If England score 250-260 today without losing many wickets, they will actually fancy chasing this down.

What's many in this case?

 

2-3 wickets? 

 

Anything above 200 on day 5 with less than 7 wickets will be very difficult.

Provided we have a spinner capable of taking advantage of a day 5 pitch.

 

A half fit Ashwin just going through the motions will not help.

i haven't been following the scorecard since the embarassing loss in the second test. About time Team India finally showed up. I dont see England winning this one. If they do, it will be legendary

[asterix]

Any part time spinners we have just in case we need as I’m not sure Ashwin is fully fit...

[asterix]

It’s the nose

Not only nose, his eyes too...

Embarassing that even England have a competent part timer in Joe Root whereas we are left with none,A far cry from the days of Viru,Sachin,Dada who could make a difference with the ball

Ishant bowling on pads. Our bowlers just can't get it right consistently. Just not test class

Ishant has actually been excellent. Yeh, the odd poor delivery, but many snorters inbetween

[bhakum20]

bumrah bowled a peach again, i don't think it's luck, have seen him do it multiple times, really skilled guy.

 

using the wobbly seam to great effect

Cook out lol. This series may be the end of his career.

[bhakum20]

wowow ishant on fire

[Nikhil_cric]

Much better from lord ishant!

[Sachinism]

Rahul has been the only fielder in the whole series to look comfortable in slips.

 

Another beauty from Ishant
