Overseas? Pretty much none so far.

SA 3rd test 

 

Crucial role in Lord's 2014 green track day 1 to blunt the ball so much that he got a special mention by Atherton in post match presentation.

We have managed to win this match without a genuine swing bowler, but to win this series without one will really be something special. Maybe the selectors thought Yadav was the man as he showed form in the warm ups and does swing it at times.

Rajpoot will come in for 4th and 5th tests i am hoping.

U mean he's lacking the 'intent' of rotating strike ?

I simply don't think he has ability to rotate strike on consistent basis.He gets stuck too often and his lack of intent in scoring hurts the team as he fails to put even loose deliveries.

 

After getting stuck he often ends up playing an idiotic shot like hooking straight down throat last test. He does not add much on the field either.

U never know rain wash the entire day off .whats the point of playing defensive with such a lead..Runs is actually time anyway

[putrevus]

They have to score more and show more intent in scoring they are simply playing in England's hands here.They still need ten more wickets.

We have yet to win though but ya agree with you.

Are England being too clever knowing that this game is gone, they probably won't let Anderson, Broad bowl too much.

Well they then risk wearing out Stokes and Woakes.

[SK_IH]

Both batsmen looking for 100s

[Sachinism]

Why are people worried about the slow run rate? We're on top. We need to just keep wearing them down. They'll score more freely soon. 

 

And being in such a dominant position, will allow Pandya and Pant to come in have fun

No rain forecasted over the next few days. Of course that could change. But, if it does rain, can't be that much and we still have plenty of time

[asterix]

Don’t get me wrong but I’m now actually praying for Pujara to get out...

[GolGappe]

4 RPO should be doable in this session.

Don't let the weather gods fu¢k up your hard work.
