To compensate for Test#3 wicket, if India prepares 'patta wicket' in the 4th Test, if we lose toss, it will be repeat of Test #1

I hope we don't make the mistake of creating a 'patta wicket' for the 4th Test. 

 

Given our propensity to loss toss in key games and choke in knockouts, it would be a repeat of Test #1

England is mentally shot. Root was on the verge of crying. They will lose no matter what wicket we prepare and who wins the toss.

We should make proper sporting wicket. Good batting wicket in first two days, reverse swing for pacers and turn and bounce for spinners later on.

Root took a fi-fer, he was enjoying.

I don't trust us with RAT at the helm of affairs. 

 

If we win the toss and, bat first and pile the runs - I trust us to squeeze England with the spinners.

 

if we bat 2nd, I think we will choke under pressure. 

[R!TTER]

We'll not lose again on a road, Eng caught us off guard & we played Nadeem bhai - the worst left armer to have played in the last few years, ironically probably after Karthik 

 

We'll also play probably Umesh & Siraj if it's a dodo, should probably also play another spinner in Kuldeep. The only way we lose here is if we drop lots of catches - which mind you can happen with this guy at the helm 

[Vk1]

could happen.. we never know

[Nikhil_cric]

No it wont. The first wickert was one which was flat only for 2days. We can make a pitch that actually stays flat until the 5th  day. 

[G_B_]

See we need to prepare a wicket which lasts more than 3 days and takes the toss out of the equation.

[cowboysfan]

we learned our lesson from test 1,no way are we preparing a patta.the chance of losing the toss is certain with manhoos Kohli and they dont want the spinners to not be a factor in the first inning.

[Trichromatic]

No it won't be repeat of test #1.

 

England is dependent on only 1 batsman - Root.

 

Nadeem was absolutely useless in first test. Axar is far better than him.

[Real McCoy]

I would go for the same wicket. With red ball, it won't end this soon but will result in us winning in day 4/5. We should play Umesh this time probably Siraj too in place of Bumrah and Ishant. This test has seen some massive whinging from the poms. Soon they will realize its not the pitch that did them in but the color of the ball. I hope we don't create a road and watch it end in a draw

[Majestic]

Zaheer is better than Srinath and Ishant.

 

Players of 2000s decade are better than 2010s and pre-1990s because I was born in 1990s and started watching cricket from 2000.

It would good if you make a grassy wicket and beat them on that.

 

England will have no excuses left.

No it won't. 

 

T1 was a perfect storm of so many things - the way pujara got out freakishly, the silly shots played by top order.  If our first innings batting lasts one more session, its a draw.  First of all, its unlikely that England can put up another 550+ score, regardless of track, and second, I do not think its possible that India will gift away their batting like they did in T1.I1.  

 

Don't be a scaredy cat, it aint happening again.  

[Yoda-esque]

Entirely possible , England are no pushover and apart from Rohit,I don't see any batsman in form.

Undermine them at your own peril.

Its all about slow spin. Just make a pitch which will spin slow. Enough time to go To backfoot and play. Axar like Jadeja will still thrive. 350 india will score anyways.whichever innings and thats enough to draw n win in a slow turning pitch. Eg Ranchi 2017 against Australia.. which we shd hv won

I think india were just too relaxed post gabba victory. Paid for it.

English batsmen are mentally shot ,they were so sh1t scared of spin that they couldn't even read the normal trajectory of a delivery .

Spin has gone to their heads after the Chennai test .

Prepare any kind of wkt ,we should be fine 

[nevada]

England have lost T2 and T3 massively, but can still square the series and ruin our WTC aspirations. Going with a spinning wicket is the safer bet in this situation.
