Two very good catches for Cook.

Prior is so so done. Feel sad for him now as everyone must know it.
Only things Cook has done all summer.

Pray that Prior doesn't win/save the game with the bat and keep his place. He deserved a chance to come back this summer after years of being great but he has gone sadly. Time to move on.

Eh, I'd take a test win above all else at the moment.

Bhuvi is probably the one you'd hope to sustain it. Been crying out for a good seam bowling all-rounder for a long time.
Yeah, Bhuvi should ideally do well for India long term but you don't expect him to sustain averaging 25, do you? :p

On a tangential note, interesting thing about Bhuv is that even in his first class career, over 50+ games, he averages slightly less than three wickets a game. He isn't supposed to be a spearhead who takes a bunch of wickets a series, he isn't built nor has the skill set to do that world wide. He is a really talented cricketer who can bowl awesome new ball spells now and then with the new ball and is genuine AR material with the bat but he works best playing as the wildcard in an established side. The rest of the bowlers being inept ****s making him the long term spearhead is really not good for his development.

Good decision, get this last one quickly and England are absolutely a chance, they'll be buoyed by a good finish and the pitch isn't bad plus the Indian bowlers aren't anything too special

Yeah, you'd take someone who can get a wicket or two per innings at a tick over a 30 while averaging 30 with the bat as well.
