Thatr is why i said unit. Unit works to a plan better. Siraj right now has no guidance. He is on his own. A clueless captain who has no knowledge of opposition weaknesses. 

You put him with Holding ,Marshall and Garner, he will still be same.

road to Warner, no run

Good length on fourth stump, 87mph and stabbed towards backward point

 

2.3

•

Broad to Warner, no run

Hits a length, 88mph/141kph and possibly shaping back. Warner watches it closely and leaves alone

 

broad still bowling in early 140s, while Robinson struggling to bowl 130.

 

Robinson was never a fast bowler. He was always a military medium. I saw the entire series. He rarely crossed 135 kph. But he had subtle variations. Also very thinking bowler. used the crease very well. Went wide occasionally to create angles. Changed up lengths. This unit still could use someone like Wood

I don't think so, he does not have pace nor does have control on leaking runs.

 

He is top of his game that does not mean he becomes world class.He sis far from being world class.

Siraj is an aggressive bowler, so, runs will come. he needs to find the balance of attack and defense in test cricket like Bumrah. only Indian fast bowler ever to have done both things as good.

He bowled well in Australia. Also during last England series. Since the injury in SA he went off the boil for a while. Also coming back from IPL he was not expected to be at his very best. Still he did bowl well.

Can someone tell me if this is the first time a team has ever declared on day 1 of a test match?

[vvvslaxman]

Shami should be used only in OZ and India. That's it. No other places. Umesh should be used only in India based on his form.  India needs taller bowlers. These short midget bowlers are easy to adjust against. Robinson's height gives him an advantage. Same with jansen, Jamieson who use their height very well.

If runs come wickets also should come.Until he finds that balance he will not become world class.

Rajasthan Royals wasted Root. Those reverse scoops are outrageous. He literally took it from stumps.

He should have played all their matches. He would stabilized one end and let other score around him with him scoring decent rate.

Faf du Plessis did a similar declaration once in Australia.

England used Jo Root differently. Rajasthan used Root completely differently.

Root is in such good form that even hanging out with that twerp didn't dent his batting ability, nor his lack of match time
