unless there is another DRS where unpire takes 15 to make a decision

England are batting, mate, not bowling

i know, would have said 30 otherwise

If India can keep the target below 75, they will be nervous but should play aggressively to take the pitch out of the equation.

On the other hand, we are into the last 5 and what a time it would be to get a quickfire 50 from this position.

Ollie Pope is filling me with less confidence than Gamestop shares

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

are you in favour of such 3 days tests? please keep the pitch matter aside

green or dry doesnt matter

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

everyone in general

about matches ending in 3 days
mostly one sided (unlike this one)

Nobody in their right mind would say that this is a good pitch. But also, the assertion that this pitch, or the one in the match before, aren’t fit for international cricket is also ridiculous.

i am asking in general, not limited to this match

Ollie Pope made that straight one by Ashwin look like the best delivery ever.

 

[CerealKiller]

Just get to the pitch if it’s full enough. No excuse for Pope

 

[Aislabie]

No way can you pick Ollie Pope for the fourth Test after that

But England are about to have a more important decision to make:

Which two of the following three bowlers do you give the new ball to?
1. Jack Leach
2. Joe Root
3. Jimmy Anderson

Pretty much this. Root and Sibley played lovely cricket for example. Very reminiscient of Kohli and whoever stuck at the other end with him in the England tour. The worry is that this is not supposed to happen so early in the game which would be my criticism.
