cricinfo just shared the above comment.

Imagine a) sending that and thinking it's interesting b) reading it and thinking it's worthwhile sharing with the class.

Well, I thought this was stupid but they've just published the following:

"After watching both these test all I can say is Indian are better in playing swing bowling while English bowler well ahead in swinging ball . Indian Batsman vs English Batsman (3:2) and English Bowler vs Indian Bowler (5:1) thereby giving overall effect of Eng vs Ind (7:4). That means English team will win this test series by 5-0."

Bairstow is world class at number 7 but significantly less so in the top 5.


I would say this is a weaker top 5 than most of the 1990s sides, especially, as you say, when you consider the quality of attacks they had to face.
The 90s side had the likes of hick, Thorpe , ramprakash, butcher, Atherton, hussain and Stewart. That isn't that bad looking at it objectively, it's better than the current one in many areas even if the tail was longer.

He's looked like utter shite mostly but pretty vital knock from Bairstow. Hopefully we can make it to 3 figure lead.

Terrible batting and all, but he is still the top scorer. Think England are already so much ahead; enough to win this game now.

Extremely poor handling of the bowlers by Kohli today. Not bowling Ashwin was bad enough but because he didn't rotate the pacers properly, he had to take Shami off just as the ball had started to reverse because he;d already bowled loads. Very frustrating to watch.
