Test Cricket is Best Cricket
True; umpiring is really hard, and not every umpire is a Venkat. Especially if you're a "home " umpire you'll tie yourself up in knots not wanting to be seen as biased either way
Unless you're Venkat

This looks a 3 day track to be honest - the ball is turning square and track is already wearing out.
If can England a Mumbai 2012 couple of batsmen getting a big Root and may be freak Stokes innings they will have a chance of going 2-0.
It will be a tougher challenge though.
As the folks are saying on Air Axar Patel might just run through the side on a wicket like the way he bowls.

These aren't poor decisions in the heat of the moment, i.e. the umpire misses an edge from a 90mph bouncer or deems the ball is going down leg instead of crashing into the stumps.
These two decisions have been looked at via replay and still not been given. The gloved catch was just pure incompetence not rolling the replay forward (or not wanting to). The stumping was an awful decision though, there's no way the third umpire could see anything behind the line, as it wasn't there.

Anil Chaudhary the third umpire has history of giving poor decisions mostly in the favour of home side usually as an on field umpire.
But as a Third umpire he has to do a better job making the utmost use of the technology available to him to make a correct decision.

"Then at the end of the over, Stokes walks down to Pant to have a little how-do-you-do." Ha ha hope he wasn't carrying a broken bottle or a stump
Pant is a really decent player in this position and these types of situations.

Do away with human umpires and let technology umpire the game, no bias

I’m afraid AI is not at the state to do that, so you’d still have humans operating as now with third umpire

Crazy idea, but have just one on-field umpire, and have the TV umpire(s) look at every LBW and run out appeal, and call no balls?

I would be really interested to know how many of those runs came when the team needed them the most. Making hay while the sun shines is all well and good but I doubt there would be any "tough" knocks in there (at least I don't seem to remember). Using averages as a starting point is fine but how/when the runs were scored should be factored in too.
FWIW, his innings today is a good example of what I'm interested in.
Coming to the Test, I feel England did well to snatch 6 wickets. One can assume we are as good as 8 down since our last 4 wickets tend to not score much, so the number o runs we add will all depend on how many Pant can score with the tail. He is the key to India's chances in this Test. Had it not been for Rohit and Rahane, we would very well have been all out for 200 odd.
Even day as far as I'm concerned. If India can get to 350+, I'll take that as a job well done and hope that England collapse around Root, who I'm sure will torture us again.

I think this pitch is going to be much harder to bat on than the first test pitch. Whereas 450-500 was a first inns minimum then, I think anything over 300 is par and 350+ is good.
England have had a decent day but need to be excellent with the new ball tomorrow then bat very well. Given the balls going through the top of the surface already I’d be happy enough if I was India.
