Strauss on the money. The second half of the Ahmedabad Test sent a good message despite the defeat. Need to ensure the same thing happens here regardless

Runs have been hard to come by for Rogers, 81 balls he faced for 16 runs, perhaps his patience wore thin, he saw a freebie and tried to nail it but it had woeful consequences. Maybe a more positive approach was on his mind today.

That's the thing though, the ball should have been smacked for 4. It was just really badly timed. Sign of a man out of nick.

The marks on the pitch surface is very unlike the GABBA IMO. It really looks like an MCG pitch IMO.

Eh, I always here this but I'm not sure. The only people who didn't perform at Ahmedabad and did at Mumbai were Panesar (not playing at Ahmedabad) and Pietersen (blows hot and cold like we all know). It wasn't until Kolkata that other members of the team started contributing so I don't think we can really say that the Ahmedabad fight back helped that much.


I'm being an over pedantic **** here aren't I? :p

Don't mind Cook giving Warner the singles to get Clarke on strike to Broad, but a) it can't continue for much longer at all, and b) Broad has to really fire the short balls in, not 80mph half-trackers.

I'm thinking specifically of Cook's innings. Set the tone for the rest of the series.
