For a change, the test dominance of India has to be completely attributed to Kohli and Shastri. They both have got India to a new heights in test cricket. One thing they did really well is the fitness culture. Fitter fast bowlers means meaner fast bowlers.

No matter what the outcome would be, I have not seen a team like this Indian side who have some amazing bench strength, amazing fighting power and will to win matches. Even though we lost the WTC, one off games do not define India's success. India truly is the #1 side in the world.

Had KL held on to that admittedly difficult opportunity off QDC at 0 we might have had a bigger lead.

as it is India need to be careful to get to a safe zone over 200+ lead without losing too many wickets before thinking of setting a target.

Drooling at the thought of Bumrah-Shami vs Shaheen-Hasan. Please God, make it happen.

That however needs to happen in conditions not DUBAI! I want to see a 3 match series in England or Australia.

WTC final would probably happen at Lord’s, i guess. Would be perfect.

If things have to make sense in Cricket, it has to be a 3 match final series played in NZ who are currently the winners of the cup.

Rabada with some absolute rip snorters.

Kohli ffs.

Ffs declare?

It would be a ballsy declaration at this juncture, but I'd like to see him try.

My reaction was more towards his dismissal.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Rishabh Pant should be banned from playing that stupid advanced down the ground shots against pacers.

Against bouncy and swinging wickets that is just blatantly throwing your wicket away.

Don't know why is he playing that shot it gets him out ever since the WTC final.

He didn't play that stupid ugly hoik when got those test hundreds in 2018 nor did he did at the Gabba.

 

[asprin]

What is the likelihood of play tomorrow. How many overs? If it's not much what are we going to do 300 runs? I would have liked to see SA 40-3 to gain some momentum before the 2nd Test.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

The pitch looks the quickest so far today out of all the days.

Will be interesting to see how the Indians approach will be given what is being predicted to be a rainy day Tommorow.
