The only positive is that this may finally drill into the selectors heads that he is not good enough for Test cricket.

There is no way Sachin would have played at that ball the way he did in South Africa tbh, even in the most hostile spells of bowling by Steyn.
Gambhir was trying to play straighter until that shot,Laxman's shot could have been avoided easily and well Raina was being dire.

Bugger, missed it. Anything particularly revealing / salient that I can use to help in my one-man crusade to lift wicketkeeping standards at the junior level in Oxfordshire?

But the point was that they could have played better. Yes it was good bowling but these players have a calibre of playing way better and it was nothing which they haven't faced in the past.

Here's Ishant to relieve the pressure.

The bit I found most interesting was the discussion regarding his controversial taking the ball in front of the stumps for a run-out.
Not sure that's much use for junior cricket in Oxfordshire.

Nope, I'm generally happy if they take the ball, whether in front or behind the stumps. In front is significantly quicker to my mind, having played around with it several times in practices myself.

Crikey this attack looks ordinary. Got to get a 200 lead at least here.

Oh yeah it's a no brainer for me, if the keeper is quick enough in getting the ball fron in front of the stumps to the stumps.
Some commentators don't seem to get it.

The lead will surely be whatever England want it to be. This is looking like a declaration innings.
Try not to take the ball outside of your body (there's a good Ian Healy vid on youtube on this very point).
Some stuff on taking the ball in front for run-outs - key piece of technique is to anchor one leg right next to the stump so the hands know where to go and have a short trip there.
The importance of hard work!
Balanced, athletic stance.
How everyone fancies keeping until they try it.
Try to reduce the give from the hands when standing up.
Will add more if I remember...

Reckon you need to repost what you said earlier about people who just look at the wicket-taking deliveries.
