Root..looks settled down..

[putrevus]

They cannot let a partnership build.

[putrevus]

Shami don't leak runs , they are gold.

[Nikola]

Shami is not edge bowler more of lbw/bowled bowler.

In cricket, runs are going to be scored. As long as he keeps picking up wkts to eventually restrict Eng, it is ok

Not in this game.

 

Here primary goal is to be tight. Wickets will fall if we are tight and let the pressure build.

game is even now

yes but fourth innings chases are very tough, becuase our team is filled with inept batsmen, bowlers are being asked to do a lot.

There is a lot of time in the game. There is no scoreboard pressure .... Eng would take 50-60 runs in the session w/o losing too many wkts

Mostly it is not about time in tests.It is the pressure and pitch which play more important role. So bowlers have to be economical too.

[Laaloo]

Need to get 2 wickets before lead reaches 100

[putrevus]

Bayliss is useless coach, why would you let your best batsman bat out of position.Root has to bat at no4.

But if Eng gets a slow 50 runs partnership, it will take it .... Our bowlers should be looking for wkts (low SR) and not get confused with multiple priorities .... bowl Eng out asap

In this situation, runs are as important as wickets tbh. 4th innings chases are very difficult. Hence runs matter too.

But it won't happen.

 

If we make them score only 50 runs in a session they will lose wickets.

 

Runs are the biggest premium here.

 

Pressure will get us wickets.

We restrict Eng by bowling them out, going for wkts

Yadav and Thakur practicing their batting

You are mixing things up, being economical does not mean they should not be taking wickets.They have to take wicket and not leak too many  runs at the same time.

At least he is an actual coach and is getting paid less than the alcoholic Cheerleader

[gattaca]

Bumrah to Stokes, no run, Rahane's heard something, my colleague Sagar Chawla thinks it's out. Oooooft! There seems to be an edge there, or a glove at least? No-one appealed. Not even the keeper
