3rd Test - India vs England, Pink Test - D/N - *WTC Knockout Encounter*

[Legendary_Bhakt]

Need Stokes or Root before they take lead

[nitinbwj]

Stokes 3 off 3...

[Norman]

Taking bets on the number of balls stokes gonna survive against ashwin... I'm going with 4

[SRT100]

10 wickets for about 65 runs today. Wow.

[raki05]

Dont give easy singles and doubles.

[Lone Wolf]

Scientist has to bowl normal off spin bit he is experimenting

[QuarantineTormentino]

This is so pathetic. New batsman in has scored at a SR of 100 on a raging turner

Pant has drastically improved his keeping since the Aussie test. 
 

Full credit to him. The last 2 pitches have been a keeper’s nightmare and the fact that his keeping has barely been mentioned is testament to how well he has done. 

 

Its all confidence, by leading India to one of its greatest series wins helped a lot.

 

His last match, he took some brilliant catches.

Both the umpires have been excellent in this match 

I also like this 3rd umpire. Once the evidence is there he makes the decision. He doesn’t waste everyone’s time on unnecessary angles, etc. 

 

For example, those English clowns complaining about the umpire not looking at the stump cam on Rohit’s potential stumping. 
 

If the stump cam had shown any indication that his foot was off the ground, the decision would still have been not out because there was enough doubt created by the side on angle would have led to a not out decision.

All of the close in fielders are standing deep

Need atmanirbhar version of Hawkeye @MechEng.

 

Not needed. The pitch here was designed through fundings from Reliance and Adani under the project name - 'Atmanirbhar pitch - ball turn yahi hoga'. 

[QuarantineTormentino]

Why is the field so spread out in the 9th over?

[Bigg Brother]

Slip-field should stand closer.

[raki05]

not sure what kind of fielding has been set... they are taking easy singles.

I don't think pitch is that bad as batsmen from both sides are making out to be. It just shows Indian players are useless too against spin. Mayank looked competent against spin and then Pujara. I don't trust any other Indian batsmen .

The pitch is unpredictable. It’s not a rank turner. The problem with the pitch is that the ball may spin, stay straight, rise off the pitch, or keep low and it’s not obvious to the batsmen when it will do any of those. 

[Bigg Brother]

Akshar looks totally innocuous against left-handers.

[QuarantineTormentino]

That moment when you realise Harsha Boghle would make a better captain than Kohli

[ash]

Root is whipping a spinning ball outside off to leg side. Sometimes we just have to appreciate the opponent instead of cribbing that runs are flowing. Be patient
