Who would they use though?Anyone else surprised by India not using the night watchman tonight?
That was some catch though.

With 12.1 overs to go, it seems a bit early, not? I must admit I have never really thought about the moment a nightwatchman is considered useful. I guess it depends a lot on having a decent one!Anyone else surprised by India not using the night watchman tonight?

Rohit?Who would they use though?
Well if they are going to promote one ofnthe batsmen. they may as well send in kohli who is less likely to get outRohit?
Runs still matter because if India wants to draw the game they will have to have a significant lead. This doesn't mean taking risks though but just being alert to run scoring opportunities. Pujara has actually done this nicely but Dhawan took an unnecessary risk and paid the price. His wicket makes the game interesting but I still think India will save it. The first hour tomorrow and the first hour after the second new ball will be important.They will try to save the game now. no way India can win this so no point in acceleration or taking risks.
Whooooshh!Well if they are going to promote one ofnthe batsmen. they may as well send in kohli who is less likely to get out

Was equating Rohit with a tailender/nightwatchman, but apparently it wasn't obvious enoughWell if they are going to promote one ofnthe batsmen. they may as well send in kohli who is less likely to get out
nah it was.Was equating Rohit with a tailender, but apparently it wasn't obvious enough
Don't just blame Shri. I was quite vocal about this as well. Still think we will draw though. And Dhawan is an idiot. Said a long time back that he should not be on this tour, and we should play both Jadeja and Ashwin.nah it was.
That session was even, maybe slightly South Africa's way in that 2 wickets gives them a shot, but I'm not too disappointed. Looked really tough when Philander and Steyn were bowling jaffer after jaffer and Vijay had just gotten out.
As usual Pujara is just calm as ****.
We should draw this. But FMD a draw is far from a lock. No doubt Shri knows this now.
Noted.Why though? In what world is India playing away from home a lock for a draw after day 1? You and Shri aren't weather Gods!
Why? Scared your boy is going to **** it up Joni? Well? Are you ****?Why though? In what world is India playing away from home a lock for a draw after day 1? You and Shri aren't weather Gods!
