[wiff]

Time for some legspin

 

[wiff]

No it's George bush warming up

 

[ajdude]

oh geez that's unlucky. was frothing for a pujara ton

so well bowled in recent times by lyon though

 

[3703]

I laid down an absolute tree trunk in the toilet, and come back to a wicket from Lyno. Life's bloody good.

 

[Contra]

could see it coming, I don't understand why they can't just step out of the crease and meet the ball where he's looking to pitch it. It's so obvious Lyon is trying to bowl the ball at the same spot.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Aw come on. Was praying for a Che ton.

touchdown?

 

[Cevno]

FFS Indians again looking uncertain to a Off Spinner abroad. WTF up with playing like this for this lineup ?

he's getting some drift and dip.

 

[Sachin95]

Aw **** me. Pujara =(

 

[Cevno]

He uses his feet to spinners well in India. Dunno what is happening abroad.

 

[adub]

he's getting some drift and dip.

3703?

 

[Cevno]

he's getting some drift and dip.

Nothing great. And even that is looking more than it is because it's been allowed to take it's course.

He wasn't getting much drift and Dip when Vijay was stepping down and smashing him for example.

That was bad luck more than anything.

 

[Contra]

he's getting some drift and dip.

Yeah but it's not significant, they need to try to get the pitch of it and attack like Vijay did, otherwise he will keep bowling at the same spot and be threatening

 

[Spikey]

It's like they didn't watch Smith bat for hours

 

[hendrix]

yeah maybe but they did step down to him a few times and he stuck to his guns. I just prefer to give him some credit.

Hope Ashwin is watching this spell from Lyon.

 

[Cevno]

Agree with Manjrekar. On this sort of surface either step down or just stay back. The bounce is relatively pretty true.

 

[Antihippy]

That was bad luck more than anything.

Nah, give Lyon some credit here. Beat him in flight, spin and bounce.
