You can see the faces of some spectators who’ve booked a weekend in Leeds wondering what the hell do you do for two days in a dump like this when there’s no cricket.

I guess we have to sit through humiliation to enjoy the inspirational victories that inevitably follow, amirite? Let's wring some more water from that rock why don't we?

I was there on the first morning! For Sehwag's first dismissal he was out off a review for caught behind iirc. That was the first time I'd been in a crowd looking at the big screen, celebrating before a decision is actually given. Scenes.

Next Test is at the Oval. Flat pitch where England will be able to bat but India will manage to edge them by sticking the bat outside off stump to the swinging ball.

I don't see how India come back from this. The batting is just piss poor against the moving ball. England don't even need to bowl that straight. Just hang it outside off and they'll go fishing.

#batdeep is justifiably a meme, but carrying four quicks is an extravagance India’s current batting just can’t afford. They need to play six batsmen, Pant at seven, a spinner and three seamers. Ishant was very poor this test but they’d be loathe to drop him given his past few years which have been excellent. Would think it has to be him or Siraj though, but I’m biased towards Shami something chronic.
I don’t think you can carry two spinners in England, particularly when one of them doesn’t turn it for the most part. So they either stick with Jadeja and hope his, frankly inept thus far and generally massively over rated slogging comes good, or they run with Ashwin who’s a plodder but at least puts substance over style. If they play both they’ll lose 3-1 for certain.

Was the sun out?
In tests yes, over all three formats Kohli is ahead comfortably.

Not fair on Jadeja's batting. He's been in some very difficult situations where he's had to tee off with the tail.

Smith is currently nowhere. He’s had one decent Test in two years.
