*Official Third Test at Headingley* 25-29 August

Hopefully it's the last. But are they ponytails or more the dreaded Man Bun?

Did Gayle and (rando partner) ever rock ponytails?
Don't think you could fit a helmet over a bun. Definitely ponytails.
They may man bun it in civvy street, though.

Also stretches out that front foot and plays the ball well after it has passed the pad. He plays it late and under his eyes like KW but that front foot in the way makes him a prime leg before candidate on balls that jag in.

Morning guys, quite pumped for today actually. Hope we win the toss and Kohli picks Ashwin.

Guys this test isn't over yet. Yes England are in a dominant position but you never know. And it's far too early to call the series 3-1 to England. India's last tour down under was enough to convince me not to count this Indian team out...

Don't think Hameed is a good long term bet. Doesn't get into line, will struggle with the full straight one.
hameed is awesome

will only get better with more game time and when he relaxes and gets secure in the team

only question is how he'll deal with bouncy pitches. but i think his backfoot play is good enough

Why does India sink to such low depths when touring England. That 2011 series put me off from watching the the subsequent England tours.
 

White Ball

State 12th Man
Even though india are in a dire situation in this game, England aren’t a good enough side to start saying 3-1 with any confidence their team in 2014 was much superior to this team.

it’s a big if but if India can somehow get England to chase 150-200 then I am not convinced their batting line up will hold up when under pressure.

Not sure I'd blame Kohli for the decision to bat first. Pitch looks pretty flat, and while there was a bit of cloud around, it was hardly Clouderson-meme worthy weather. India just got thumped. Excellent bowling by Anderson, but I'd say getting shot out for 78 on this is a worse effort than just about any double-figure score I can think of in the past decade.
Yeah, if we put England in and they got through the first session relatively well and were at ease afterwards it would have looked awful as well.

Our Test lineup has struggled to score 300 for a very long time now. Our neglect of this area has led to this type of shitshow.
