Wk has a say in such calls. hopefully,  Pant will become more voacal in time

honestly, actually it was Pant and Jaddu who forced Kohli to go for both of those reviews...

Ind is still in the game till Eng goes past 150 in this inning w/o too many wkts

 Pant... I think he has no idea abt LBW... why is appealing when hit so way outside off

He is new kid in bloc. Want to be seen busy,

Vocal meaning saying no to senior bowlers by being brutally honest

[zen]

Instead of why not, people will ask why to Cook .... stepped it up in his last game

Will bumrah survive for the Asia cup? I hope he's taken off because There's a chance he might breakdown in that 50 degree heat

Agree. If Fifa can demand and get  climate controlled stadiums, why not BCCI.

Sheikhs wont mind .

have to say that we are missing Pandya here who could have taken pressure off the pace bowlers, who have all bowled 7-8 overs. Jadeja is getting monotonous unless the ball hits the rough 

 

BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	WD	NB
JJ Bumrah	7	4	13	0	1.85	0	0
I Sharma	7	3	11	0	1.57	0	0
Mohammed Shami	8	3	20	1	2.50	0	0
RA Jadeja	12	1	35	1	2.91	0	0

Pray for an England batting meltdown...

[mishra]

^ we are missing a bat who can bowl like Tendulkar, Sehwag

we don't have that option. have to go by what we have .... in that way, we are missing McGrath and Warne too

still possible... this is the best session for taking wickets... 

[Shunya]

Vihari should be tried more... I thought Kohli likes off spinner to lefties...

[Shunya]

England should give a target of 300 or more and give cook a go as bowler on final day... crowd will love it if he gets a wicket or two...

if Eng bats for 3 more sessions, they will be around 300 if not more, giving Ind 300+ to chase in 4 sessions

Probably if its 4 session, we can try to draw or win? Almost impossible, but have to hope...

100 up for Eng with back to back 4s by Root 

[Kothili]

Its gone. England stonewalling and gaining the upper hand. We have a pigeon brained captain who will refuse to try something new. Wont give Vihari a bowl. Useless dick Kothili letting it drift again.
