Whatever it takes!!!
The thing about this Mumbai pitch is that it usually does not get that much worse to bat on as the test match progresses. The turn and bounce and pace stay reasonably consistent. It may get a little lower and slower due to wear and tear around day 4 and 5 but it is always a track, the red soil one, that rewards positive cricket - with bat and ball.

We should play all home tests on red soil wickets IMO.

Strangely enough he's looked good all innings except when the spinners bowl a half tracker. Seems to not rock back properly to put them away. Quality knock otherwise.

Does not seem to have much of a cut shot either. I remember Virat not playing the cut too. But at his best, Virat was very good at the cut shot. Think they both have become way too dependent on the frontfoot trigger and it costs them away from home, especially in swinging conditions.

Under Hesson/McCullum there also seemed to be a cultural shift where they stopped sledging (I think Donald pushed that a bit at the 2011 WC Southee was quite aggressive and there was that incident where a group including 12th man Mills had a go at deVilliers (?) as he was leaving the field). They went on to be the nice guys of WC which seems to be something some other teams are trying to emulate.

In terms of results, things have gone very well under Stead but the disastrous tour to Australia remains a major blemish compared to the 2015 tour under Hesson.

Aaron finch hit 260* against you guys in a fc game opening in 2015, that's more embarrassing then the entire 2019 tour combined.

Pretty clear that at best, the ball hit bat and pad at the same time, which is still not out. But my view is that it is some of that foreshortening effect that makes it seem like it brushed the pad. The pad and its angle make it clear that even if the ball is to brush off it, there would be deviation but the ball only hit the inside edge onto the back pad. The angle of the pad and his foot shows he was moving it away from the line of the ball.

Of course, nothing to change what I originally posted on the dismissal but I feel this clearly shows why it was a bad decision on the field.
