is also a danger without PP overs that leaving a huge onslaught for last 15-20 overs could end up with such regular wicket loss all any batsman can do, at best, is a cameo 20-30 and out which would take some coordination to make work ie they'd all have to come in, hit from the get go, get 20-30 and then next man in takes overThe only thing is, India will always be 1 wicket away from pushing the required rr out of the reach.
Ban himSilence is going to be defeaning when Kohli's 50th ton ends up in a losing effort.
I think chasing 398 is more of an ‘everyone tee off’ kind of situation. I know Kohli anchored the India innings but they made a much faster start.Good fifty from Mitchell.
He's still there though, we just need him to be the anchor while the other guys tee off around him.
Exactly right! They need to clam down!India trying to lose this via extras and fielding errors it seems.
Pepperidge Farm remembers:Every day Mitchell being a sub 40 FC average domestic journeyman prior to being picked seems more and more like a myth. Has accumulated an incredible highlights reels in his brief career already.
Mitchell shouldn't be batting 3 in Test cricket but I actually think he's sneaky good tbh.
think we've seen enough innings where batsmen don't seem to be doing a great deal, plodding along a bit, and then suddenly cut loose to suggest it is possible to accumulate for a bit, just can't for too long chasing anything well over 300 let alone all but 400I think chasing 398 is more of an ‘everyone tee off’ kind of situation. I know Kohli anchored the India innings but they made a much faster start.
