Win-win situation if we bat out Day 5 - Jadeja

[javier26]

Quote

"Tomorrow is Day 5, so the ball will turn more and bounce more. That's the expectation," Jadeja opined. "So we will have to bat well. Take it session by session. If we don't give a wicket in the first session, then there will obviously be pressure on the bowlers that they need to bowl us out. For us that will be the win-win situation if we can bat out the full day tomorrow. For us, it'll be as good as a winning situation."

Minnow Mentality.

 

It is impossible to win from here but the Indian Camp are also more than happy to avoid a whitewash.

Jaddu is right, look at the larger picture because series is anyway lost, WTC final chances are also close to zero.

 

This is the kind of game where you build your character. Let these youngsters bat out a full day in typical day 5 Indian conditions against quality spinners to save the test, I will respect them much more if they manage that. Will serve us in the future as well if they do bat 100 overs to draw the test.

They did at old trafford. It is not going to be as straight forward as you will get to face different types of bowlers on a wearing 5th day wicket.
