So, get to 600 and declare?

Nah, I say we bat em out of the game. Break their bowlers before Lords.

 

[GIMH]

Tuffers is calling for Dhoni to bowl

 

[Prince EWS]

I have no idea what that means.

It's a gaming term. If this was a console game for example, someone could save the game before every delivery and then just load the save file if a wicket fell.

That ssave scumming call was so ****ing good.

Root could score 400 here if Cook wanted and Anderson holds his nerve as he nears the ton.

 

[91Jmay]

has anyone noticed that 39% of all Joe Root's test runs have come from just 3 inninngs (representing 9% of his total innings) - is that not a little out of the ordinary?!

Via cricinfo comments.

Good to see he goes big but has to fix the feast or famine thing.

 

[Flem274*]

The gulf between India's best and worst bowling must be the biggest of any test side.

 

[grecian]

Bollox.

 

[Maximas]

good catch

 

[GIMH]

Nooooooo

No, not really

If he consistently hit fifties and averaged about the same then people would complain about not converting.

 

[91Jmay]

Good catch, but brilliant from Jimmy and Root. Rescued the game from the abyss (big nod to Stuart Broad as well who changed the momentum of the game counter-attacking).

 

[Howe_zat]

Ah ****e.

 

[Spikey]

serves the **** right for not trying to hit sixes

 

[Adders]

So the big question now, will Jimmy take the new ball?? Looked like he was running off for it.

 

[91Jmay]

No, not really

If he consistently hit fifties and averaged about the same then people would complain about not converting.

No you are totally right, why fix the feast and famine thing so he can score more runs and average higher. Makes total sense to stay the same.

 

[Howe_zat]

Will Anderson open the bowling still?

 

[Teja.]

Bhuvi gets his first phipher and not a bad one at that.

Went for only two and half runs an over as opposed to Ishant going for four an over overall and more for most of the game and Shami going for close to four and a half.

No you are totally right, why fix the feast and famine thing so he can score more runs and average higher. Makes total sense to stay the same.

If your point was just 'Root should score more runs' I don't know why on earth you felt the need to make it

Would imagine so, can give him 3 overs and if it not working take him off.
