Number Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 (edited) Excellent pitches in this series so far. Our batting is getting into groove slowly. They are looking confident against spin and Yashaswi, Gill are learning to play long innings. Jadeja, Ashwin and Kuldeep are looking much better as the series has progressed. Our pacers are in the game, as seen with Bumrah 2nd game and Siraj in this test. Hope it stays like this, even if we get a few draws. We will be automatically much more prepared during SENA tours.

Trichromatic Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just like how England is playing bazball to cover limitations of their batsmen, Indian team was playing on turners to cover limitations of Indian batsmen. England knows that their batsmen can survive for 60-80 overs on avg, so they try to maximize runs in those overs. India team with declining battting knew that batsmen can score max 250-300 runs on any pitch, so only option was to ensure that oppositions gets bowled out for 100-150 runs on rank turners. rollingstoned and Number 2 Link to comment

Lots of runs for good batters, plenty of reverse swing for good bowlers (e.g., Umesh, Shami) and enough turn for good spinners (Ashwin, Jaddu) Rightarmfast and Number 2 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Nasser hussain's take on this subject " I said all along that India should play England on good pitches that spin a bit, as we saw in Rajkot, because if you prepare surfaces that turn big it brings England's inexperienced spinners into it. The bowler's control of length doesn't have to be immaculate when it's spinning big but when it's flatter you need to have great control of length. You only have to look at the discrepancy in length between Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav compared to England's young pair and control is something they have to work on.

" in the first test, some of the eng spinners displayed more control than the indian spinners. it got partly reversed in test 2, and was comfortably reversed in test 3 Link to comment

India should have been like 800/4 or something like that. It was one of the worst bowling by a visiting side. SOmehow we managed to get bowled out. Should have been a one innings match for india.

mishra Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 As long as we can create a track which assists our spinners just enough to bowl few maiden overs in a row, We are good. We dont need massive turners. Let English batting implode on Bazball under pressure of maiden over Link to comment

putrevus Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Swan and Monty had equal role as Cook did in England winning in 2012. If England thought they could win the series with three new spinners then they were delusional.First test they were lot of gift wickets.If they cut those gifts then getting 20 wickets will not be easy for England.
