God I hate kohli such a flat track bully. Can't wait till he comes back to England averages 13 again.

Oh JImmy, why did I doubt thee? I shall repent.
Anyway, looks like we're in for another draw. These flat, flat tracks in India do not help their test side one bit. India are a pretty horrible touring side outside of playing the test minnows, i.e. playing in English, Aus, SA conditions and it's because their batsmen do not experience anything beyond these types of strips. I would have thought they would make more competitive wickets considering how the last match went.

Really? With the exception of the last 3 Tests in England, they competed well in all those series. Let's see how things go before labeling this as a flat track.
Also, the ineffective bowling was the main culprit more so than batting. Failed to bowl out SA on day 5, failed to press home the advantage in the match where McCullum made 300, not sure they even took all 10 wickets in an innings across 4 Tests in Australia.

Yeah our batting overseas was perfectly good except for those two horror tests in England.

Agree with the sentiment, but not sure now is the time to say it

And the debutant Jayant has a FC double century.

Umesh Yadav has a greater than a run a ball century. Don't think they count.

We actually had Australia down on the mat at Brisbane but then Dhoni went to his ****ing brain dead 'let's bowl nothing but bouncers to tailenders' plan and allowed the last 3-4 wickets to get 250 or something. Brutal.
That means almost nothing tbh.

Ishant fluked that 7-fer at Lord's where 2 or 3 batsmen holed out at square leg and they genuinely thought it was a legitimate strategy.
Actually, our fast bowlers did use short pitched bowling very effectively at the 2015 WC, but then again, it's a different matter in limited-overs cricket. Also, they used it as a surprise tactic in that tournament.

Pleased for Jimmy, was a little unsure about how he'd fare. However, if it's true that the pitch will start turning at about lunch tomorrow before proceeding to crumble big-time, I fear we may have already let the game slip away from us, barring an incredible collapse from India tomorrow morning.

A 100 can be ignored but a double? He is probably good for 30-40 runs, which might come in handy.

As if anyone needs a reason for that in CW..
