*Official* Bangladesh in India 2017

[OverratedSanity]

India will bat for this whole session and give Bangladesh 4 sessions to bat. 1/2 a session means setting Bangladesh a target of 400 and a 1% chance for them winning. India will want to take the 1% out.

Yeah but if they enforce the follow on, that chance goes down even further. This is dumb.

Maybe something to do with bowlers on field for 125 overs odd. Never easy and India ideally would want the pitch to wear down more than it is now

The dumber thing was coming out to bat one over before walking off back to lunch.

I wonder what the sports scientists' rationale behind the one session rest is, and what they do with the bowlers during such a short break.

 

[Daemon]

Did they seriously just come out for one single over before lunch? ****ing hell, cricket can be so stupid.

Ashwin has been so below par on roads whether it'd be Rajkot, Chennai or this one..

Also a lot of the players seem to pick him so well..

Lol.. Its funny to see the old Ashwin takes wickets = pitch is a turner idiocy back He was the best Indian bowler on view at Rajkot and with a better keeper and cordon, would have had a fifer in Chennai. He was fine even in this game, they are just good players of spin. Jadeja looked totally innocuous, at least Ash was trying to get them to play shots and see if he can create opportunities that way through flight and drift.

He's fine. Took an excellent 5 fer on a really flat pitch in the England series. Not going to run through sides overseas on flat pitches, but no finger spinner ever does.

 

[OverratedSanity]

These pitches are definitely concerning ahead of the Australia series though. Giving Autralia flat roads to bat on is not the way to go.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah but Pune does turn even in the IPL. So lets see

India is not going to serve Australia these pitches for sure

 

[srbhkshk]

Good decision to not give a follow on, Bowlers deserve a bit of rest. A 120-150 quick should give India enough time.

Lol Scott "I'd be running on the pitch" Styris. Interesting comment.

Australia has no chance in Pune. Its a slow and low pitch tailor made for jadeja and ash

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Vijay walking off

 

[honestbharani]

This just means Rahul jr. s gonna ton up at Pune, right?

 

[Athlai]

Do quite like Taskin, reckon he's in the top ten quicks in Asia.

Don't worry, we'll still find a way to blow it.

 

[Shri]

Pujara should mess with his shoes and then come down the track to defend or attack every ball. Create some marks.

 

[Shri]

Do quite like Taskin, reckon he's in the top ten quicks in Asia.

His current figures are 2/18 and his average is still 85. Doesn't look like it but we'll see.
