So do we troll India now and send out Plunkett again at 7. He played well on Saturday and it might not be the worst idea given the form of Prior and Stokes.

Definitely would push Stokes down the order, I'd have Plunkett and Broad in before him.

You just ended the career of a bloke who was close to averaging 50 with the bat, and can also bowl. You didn't really deserve much more.

I think the point he was making was that the guy is now going to be targeted with at the body short pitched bowling following that dismissal - that was a horrid way to get out, took his eyes off it, wafted the bat infront of his body and hoped for the best. Michael Bevan was an extremely talented batsman, until he faced it short. Be interesting to see how Ali goes after that dismissal.

With any luck Ishant will go back to being Ishant after this test.

I remember Michael Clarke going out similarly in Brisbane.
I'm not going to write off his entire ability to face the short ball because he played one poorly one ball before the lunch break.
Honestly Ali's biggest weakness is his ability against spin. Root looked just as woeful against the short ball he just didn't get out.

Also saying "career over" to make that point is a woeful and misleading way of suggesting so.

Yes, add an emoticon next time for the slow people like me.

Cook needs the balls to tell Prior at lunch to have a lash, and that he (Cook) will take the rap if it doesn't work. The bloke is a walking wicket trying to bat normally ATM, and it would do him good for his skipper to back him in.
If he gets out he gets out. If it comes off the target drops to below 100 in quick time and it sets Dhoni back a bit. Worth a gamble I reckon.

Broad will play that role already though right?
Yeah agree totally, not to mention India aren't especially good when put under pressure.

Being honest i'd have ripped your arm off to have scored 68-1 in the first session at 11.00 this morning. Just feel deflated losing the wicket to the last ball of the session.
Cracking test match whatever happens from here.

It's too late by the time Broad gets in tbh. Now is the right time, especially if he knocks 20-30 off before the new rock.
It's make Cook as a skipper if it works. Shades of Benaud with Simmo at Melbourne in 60-61 when he told him to go after Hall.

Just bat Broad and Plunkett ahead of Prior
