Ind should avoid having to bat again (Pink ball test at A'bad)

[zen]

Pitch appears awful as it can break up even further rapidly (though Ind batsmen are used to it and Eng has only 1 specialist spinner) therefore Ind should avoid having to bat again ... If Eng somehow bats well in its 2nd innings (say get 200 odd), chasing 120 odd in the 4th could be a handful 

 

Whichever batsman is set would need to make it count

It is a good pitch. England batted awfully and Pujara is going through a loss in form.

[Serpico]

this match won't even go to day 4, final innings chase shouldn't be a big issue. But  yeah innings win would be good here to knock out England out of wtc, hope Rohit gets another 100

It's decent pitch but it will turn into a raging turner by Day 3..  All 3 Indian dismissal were off poor shots.

its already a dustbowl , england just doesnt have skillfull bowlers for these pitches. Had they had Monty n swann in tandem then it wud have been a game

Whose gonna make the runs?

 

Batting line up inspires zero confidence apart from a couple of players.

So bowlers have to take wickets and score runs?

 

Being a batter in this team is a great gig. Het paid handsomely for doing F all and being undroppable.

Well the only hope is for Rohit to get a century and we get some 30s and 40s from the lower order 

[neel roy]

We score 110 more we win. Max Eng can score in 2nd innings is 180. So we can easily chase 100 in last innings. 

[coffee_rules]

SDP batting would have been handy on this pitch

[ShebbySB]

We have to score 250 at least to avoid batting once again.

[chewy]

This pitch is awful, it was the same sh!t pitch used in SMAT final, which was an awful game

 

Nothing to do for this specific Test.

 

The pitch curator should be fired.

Most of the dismissals happened when the ball went straight and actually it was batsman playing for spin. England players fell for turn and threw their wickets. Their batting was awful on Day 1.

 

Watch India bat on other hand.

Rahane needs a 100 and if he helps India in winning this match then he can prolong his career else this  series should be his last one....

Rahane vs spin? Haha.

Pitch is bloody amazing. Same as a seaming pitch. Nice work. 

 

Only issue is it gets worse to bat on. In England it's the same. 

[Majestic]

Ashwin and Sundar will hit hundreds and Rohit will get out for 54. I love Rohit but this is my wish.

[Gollum]

Wish to see Pant, Sundar, Ashwin, Axar combine to get 200 runs, a couple of big partnerships and hopefully a 100 from one of them. Possible IMO.
