Even if this is true for one player-type (say batsmen), this can't be true for all cricketers...

Is somebody putting a gun to your head and asking you to watch it?

The delivery from Ashwin to take out Compton was gold standard. Wonderfully flighted, lured the batsman forward and then dipped, pitched and viciously turned inward between the smallest of gaps between bat and pad to take out the stumps. Brilliant stuff!

No it isn't.
Tomorrow's opening session decides the series, if England battle back they have hope of being competitive at times, if not then it looks odds on there will be a 4-0 scoreline. Fortunately they currently have their 2 best bats in and their best player of spin (Prior) to come. I'd be tempted to send Prior in next as Bell is usually a walking wicket against decent spin bowling.

Depends where he ends up batting, if he stays at 8 then his average should stay quite high as he will get a fair few not outs batting with the tail. Bowling i'd say any spinner who can get 200+ wickets at under 30 has had a bloody good career, only the greats average 25-26ish, don't think he is in that category and will level off at a similar level to Swann and Ajmal are now thus being a bloody good one.
If I was Fletcher I would give him a target now of over 30 with the bat and under 30 with the ball after 50+ tests. Has the talent to do it and if he gets close then India have a great player to build their team around in the future.

It's not the first time Burgey has tried to troll and it's backfired on him, resulting in him tweaking his initial stance on the topic and biting. Makes for good entertainment.

If England were to get bowled out relatively early tommorow, should Dhoni enforce the follow on or keep batting?
I suppose conventional wisdom says to enforce it, but how awesome would it be if the English bowlers had to bowl again so soon after spending almost 2 days in the field
