I know some most Indian fans are thinking - Kohli is going to have his day out today finally and play a match changing knock

All I will say to them is - please don't kid yourselves. Poms are winning this with 5 wickets in hand

Well one part is done.

Not reading that one from bowler's arm does Kohli. A nothing shot after playing so well.

Just wait and watch sir

Fairwell Ajinkya Rahane.

Mai Pal Do Pal Kaa Shaayar Hun
Pal Do Pal Meri Kahaani Hai
Pal Do Pal Meri Hasti Hai
Pal Do Pal Meri Javaani Hai

(A song which Dhoni used in a video to announce retirement)

So England must me licking their lips now. 6 down, only 230 on the board. I give another 15-20 runs more before the end of innings.

Trailing by 99 is a winning position for you?

Ashwin-Jadeja combo on this pitch would've made a 240-odd target a nightmare for England!!! For a change let us blame the coaches for not selecting Ashwin.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

These are frustrating runs for England.

 

[AliB]

If we have a concussion? Shardul is hit then are we allowed to bring in Ashwin? or need to hit Jadeja only?

It is like to like only but who knows, these rules changes everytime there is a scenario set up.

And yeah there is not even an attempt to remotely bowl a bouncer.

At the end of the Lords Match: India have all the answers, England have all the problems.

At the end of the Headingley Match: England have all the answers, India have all the problems.

At the end of the First Inns here - welcome back Woakes, England all over India.

Now - England, one paced attack get murdered in Australia... India all over England.

Could it be we are quietly having an absolutely classic Test series?

AFAIK England have not struggled for bowlers in Australia. It is the batsman who haven't put up enough runs. And are lacking a quality spinner.

England won with a batting line-up comprising of Alastair Cook, Andrew Strauss, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell(cut him some slack atleast ), Paul Collingwood and Matt Prior. Such a dream line-up that was! And not to forget that you guys had Graeme Swann to use the wearing pitch.

This England team just had Root for the batsman while they've got a decent bowling line-up in Woakes, Broad, Anderson and Robinson. Just a couple of batsmen and a quality spinner would do a world of good to England.

Sorry to say I don't get good feeling from an England fan's POV if I look forward to 2021-22 Ashes series in Australia. The only thing you can rely on is Australia's failing tactics.

It's been great.

Anderson averages 35.43, Broad 37, Woakes 49.5 in Australia.
