A tad, but one thing's for sure: a Kohli carrying on the way he does, minus the weight of runs, is the most ridiculous sight in world cricket.

Yeah given the tweet is a pile of BS and lies.

After letting full tosses go, Jinks finally wakes up and puts away the long hop at least.

Finally, Rahane pulling instead of cutting and getting out to a ball too close to his body.
Kohli generally performs when he's riled up with a hurt ego. We need someone from the opposition to do a Kesrick Williams to get him pumped up.

Against this batting lineup, yes. But I don't want to judge them too early either, they haven't played any home tests since a long time. But yes, two-three spinners who can bowl at 90k+ with good accuracy(AKA Monty Panesar) can make a huge difference in these conditions. Forget flight, drift and all the fancy stuff, doesn't work against the Asian batsmen on these pitches.

It becomes the Pataudi Trophy when we play in England.

There is a lot of overreaction in this thread but one issue I have with what we have done this series is how much we have tried to predetermine what we are doing and how we are playing. We played according to situation a lot more in Australia, especially with the bat and in Chennai this series, which brought us the best results. Need to do more of that. Playing to a set pattern agreed by the dressing room for this long is not good enough.

Is this the best pitch an English side has ever got in Asia? There's enough there for the pace bowlers, one more pace bowler would have made a massive difference here.

It appears as though he has fired up Stokes with that altercation.

should always be the Pataudi trophy. Anthony de Mello was into religious/spiritual voodoo and his biggest accomplishment was rebranding meditation according to his wikipage. Very underwhelming figure to name a trophy after.

The Nawabs were no great shakes either though and if we start analyzing personal lives too much, it can become rough.
EDIT: Removed since cnerd clarified he read up on the wrong de Mello.

He’s on the slide I’m afraid. All downhill from here.

Think Kohli wanted to make a point about seamers having a role to play and defensive techniques going into this match. Pre-meditated like you say.

Which is the annoying thing about Virat's captaincy. The kind of headstrong obstinacy that goes against logic sometimes.
