good decision. Rohit was a long way down. Didn't think it was bouncing that much live, but it always seems that way watching on TV with the camera angle + DRS tracking tends to show balls bouncing more than they appear to.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good move. Stokes should get some nice carry.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

oh ffs. GTFO. Hawkeye clearly tampered with

Hawkeye would've given that out if it was an English batsman for sure.

Well, that first ball definitely carried...

 

[silentstriker]

haha stump mic catches Eng complaining?

Look I agree this pitch could use some complaints (unlike the last one), but England has to put it out of their mind if they are to have a chance.

Stokes looks really trim

Carrying on the theme from Sledger regarding players physiques

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Swann should really do stand up

In his interview after joining up with the squad in India he was asked if his break back in England had helped him and he pretty much said the best thing about leaving the bubble was getting to eat what he wanted.

this is going to be a problem if the quicks can't land in their action safely

Ha, well it shows

 

[wpdavid]

Good 5 minutes.

Five good minutes out of however many hours they've played since the 3rd England wicket. Just about sums it up really.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Harsha: “Look at the timing of that shot.”

Leach and Root rest of the way.

Smart of India to pick that 3rd spinner.

Yeah, in the second innings Sundar may have to bowl 2-3x the overs as he did in that first innings.

This counts as a poor pitch rather than the Chennai one because of this fact. If day 1 is dangerous god knows what it will be like on day 3 when the match ends.

 

[Pup Clarke]

"you need to lose some weight" Anyone else pick that up? haha

 

[Teja.]

Harsha is being a real pain in the ass with his motor mouth antics. Sometimes when things are happening every ball, you can just call the action instead of grasping and failing at small talk attempts.
