Test 3 heartbreak after effort from Jaddu, now Test4 primed for heartbreak after fighting knock by Gill/KLR ?

[fineleg]

There is that "slight temptation"  of draw possible? (similar when Jaddu batted in Test3).
Can one do a Ashwin-Vihari Sydney types draw?

But heartbreak waiting to happen?

This series we either lost at the start or end of session.  All boils down to first session which also includes a new ball.

The problem is Pant may not bat and the three allrounders to follow Jadeja,Sundar,Shardul 

[jf1gp_1]

For Pant to come out we cant be more than 5 down and into 3rd session.

We are again staring down the barrel

Gambhir pet project of 3 allrounders should save this test

Wonderful job by Jaddu and Washy. Needed same grit as shown by Ashwin Vihari, and they did that.
Very rare to see such amazingly fought Draws by Team India and fortunate to see that at Sydney and Manchester.

Icing on the cake to be able to fight out a draw even when main batsman Pant was injured.

He has the potential to score 15+ test centuries.

Pant is a wk batsman. Main batsmen were all out.

Allrounders are not the problem like ICFers believe. So called specialists sucking are

Calling out the flawed logic people have here. People back specialists here above AR without seeing quality

Mere hisab se Jaiswal ne har test me barring that 100 ,but even in that too he sucked in 2nd innings has deeply disappointed this series

He has consistently thrown it away since post  Eng tour to India 2024

Sai is second in the list although had 4 innings only to his name

Kela has a problem of loosing concentration after breaks
