[The Realist]

Horrible innings by Kohli. No wonder the coaching staff is snoozing.

 

Should promote Dhoni up the order to provide some fireworks

Hope that catch makes sports center top 10 in the US again. The Stokes catch was number 1 last week

Of course.  But seriously, if you could special order a track best designed to reduce Indian odds of winning, you'd get something like this.  Unfortunately, these days the Indian pace attack is strong enough to neutralize such moves.  All that remains to be done is to 'see off' the new ball.  And credit to Rohit today, luck and all, he's gritted it out.  

 

And with Virat gawn, he's going to need to stick around.

Yes this is perfect track for sa with uneven bounce .

[Franco Vazquez]

Phehlukwayo was a quota selection and now he has become a decent player. If every quota player improves like him then SA might have a future

[Pratik77]

We should have chased with esse rather having problem...

I don’t think it’s a cut and dry conspiracy theory like that.

 

 

However flat tracks makes it easier for teams like WI,Pak and Bangladesh whose batting is not too shabby on those tracks.

 

Green tracks are a lottery whoever wins the toss . Even someone like Pradeep or Grandhomne  come into fray.

 

I mean you are on to something when you say England are getting relatively flatter tracks. I agree with that. I just don’t think there is some conspiracy against Asian teams or India especially 

[Yoda-esque]

India is losing this one.

 

Rahul will be out for a sub 10 score.

Dhoni will hang around, make a 50 in 90 balls

Pandya and Jadhav do not have the technique on these pitches, probably will end up between 10-20 runs

Bhuvi and Dhoni will scratch around , have a 30-40 run partnership and India will lose by 20 odd runs or more

Thank You.

We are in a bit of a trouble here.
