He also missed a trick when Bairstow came in by bowling Siraj. That was a good time to bring KD on who had some form going in against Jonny. Just minor things like these which seem to happen too often with him. There's no harm in ringing through the changes when you have five bowlers just to keep the batsmen honest.

Yep him and Root have gone the opposite way. With Stokes less reckless and Root more so.
As Root in that NZ series and the remaining India game from 2021. Played more like the pre McCullum way then regressed since then in the main.

Small sample size but two classic batsman batting together averaging 71.
It will never catch on
Also love the average with Jimmy I assume thanks to that ridiculous flat one at Trent Bridge, where Jimmy got iirc 81

Root seems impregnable in SC conditions like these when he plays normally. He needs to come out of his state of denial and accept he's far better without the circus sideshow strokes, at least whe he's just come in. A reverse scoop can never be as safe as a forward defensive. You're essentially taking physically sound weight distribution out of the picture and relying almost exclusively on hand-eye reflex

I heard it was because Mrs Kohli was also giving birth to his baby.
Root should be disciplined for violating the spirit of cricket, a strike rate below 75% is completely unacceptable. Surely millions of British fans tuned in to watch an entertaining Root cameo with a lot of reverse scoops and instead had to sit through this abomination of a grind fest! What's a century at the cost of the future of test cricket??!

A spokesperson from the England camp noted that everyone was sorry that young "Nigel" had left the tour and wished him nothing but the very best.

Once upon a time you'd have looked at uneven bounce, bit of spin, and thought England were massively on top as the pitch will probably deteriorate, might still happen, but it looked dead in the final session, so who knows, think it'll be hard to play shots on whatever, very slow, but maybe hard to get anyone out.

Will give Root the credit he deserves for putting the tricks back in the bag. Hope he can stick around a bit in the morning

Tbh if Robinson gets out early, we'll want the tricks coming back out of the bag, not much runs after.

Kind of expected them once Hartley went but Robinson surpassed my expectations

Whatever it takes!!!
He bowled well too, the one long hop aside. Definitely something to work with if he can bowl more regularly.

Basically how I described a typical Ranchi track at the end of the 3rd test.
And yet, we overreact every time to those first images of the pitches.
But yes, have to see how India bat and what England seamers get out of this as well. The tall ones may get more out of it and Robinson may end up an inspired pick.
Worried we will collapse tomorrow.
Patidar at 4 and the long tail dont inspire confidence.
