Am I the only one who thinks Bhajji deserves a chance at this job? He sucks atm but if he gets better with time, I'd love to listen to him talk about off spin bowling more.

Yeah, I don't mind Bhajji now. He is not afraid to say what is on his mind compared to so many BCCI stooges we have seen.

Last Man Standing Game

Believe everyone knows the simple rules of this game. Make your assumptions before start of play for the couple of questions below and get it right to go through to the next round.

1. Will England score more than 300?
2. Will India lose more than 8 wickets today?

Yeah, it is mildly annoying when people keep saying this is why Kohli is super great etc. Of course I am extremely happy we are still in the match thanks to Kohli but lets not paint this as one of the best innings ever or any thing.

Kohli is such an animal

There was a brief moment after he crossed 50 where you could see him trying to refocus himself, but he couldn't help having a little smile at having achieved this small yet important milestone.

The next ball he played a loose stroke and was dropped at second slip again.

Since that ball he was basically flawless. We criticise the man for his selections and leadership and the stuff he says to the media, but there is absolutely no questioning his desire and hunger. 100% I would rather be on Kohli's team than playing against him, and yesterday's innings was why. If you don't take your chances he will make you play, and if he gets in the zone he is absolutely irresistible. WAFG. Hope he has a big series here - then he would have conquered Australia, South Africa and England as an Indian batsman.


Also how good was that ball from Ash to Cook? Better than the first innings. Fantastic bowling.

Such a great test. Tonight I can finally stay up and watch all of the third session - I've missed the best action in both days so far.

Yeah, just watched that delivery Ashwin got Cook with. Was just terrific, that. With the new ball, that much turn, a batsman can't really do much.

Yeah, I'm kinda gutted I missed the good parts too (besides Curran's entertaining burst). When I went to bed Kohli was nicking off all the time, and then I wake up to a scorecard that he burst through with the tail getting near 100 runs from 8 wickets down.

That's pretty impressive.

Anyone know what happened to Curran? Did the ball stop swinging and he just got smashed for spraying it? He was 3/stuff all, and now he's 4/74 at 4.35

He looked clueless at the beginning though. Wouldn't be penning in a huge series yet

57 run last wicket stand and just 1 run and 16 balls from Umesh. That's seriously something. Chanders should be ashamed.

The documentary on Mumbai cricket @vogue was talking about yesterday. Its cool. Cricket in Mumbai: Episode 1 | Video | Watch TV Show | Sky Sports

It's not lost on anyone that the documentary was set in Mumbai and not Chennai.

On an unrelated note, Daemon, we have spoken with Burgey and he will occasionally interact with you on the rare occasions he has time, and the even rarer occasions when you post something worth discussing. On other occasions you'll need to liaise with us.

Regards,
TBT.

Regarding my post on which you so stupidly overreacted, Shri, the point is that people are going overboard when appreciating the Kohli inning. I should expect such hero worship, though, despite not relishing it.
