The England batters are over thinking things, don't get me wrong Ashwin and Patel are good but we're getting out to straight arm balls. It's about the 4 inch between the ears from here on in. Also If Jofra is going to bowl 80mph cutters he might as well go home.
My college mate used to shout it when someone scored playing football on dinner break. We used to pile on whoever scored and he'd slap our arses and shout gangbang. It was a term of endearment.
I've just rewatched out segment on Quest. I'm in such a good mood, surely England are going to do better today to keep me in it!
I think we can skittle through them with some early wicket and maybe go into our second innings only 150 behind. If we could then try to post anything near 300 it would be game on with India batting fourth on that pitch.
First wicket down today as India judge past our total. Get rid of Pant quickly and the game opens up!
I bet England are kicking themselves at not going with two spinners. Wonder when Root will have a go?
Just one spinner is looking a bit of a horlicks. Need to skittle them for as little as possible, even a 50 run lead is going to need a quality batting effort to get enough to bowl at in the 4th innings.
I honestly beleive that if we had more of these turning pitches in England, Root would be classed as a batting all-rounder. He's a far cry from the likes of Atherton who would put himself to throw some filth down to ruffle some feathers...
