*Official* 1st Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 05 - 09 Feb 2021

I was also thinking that might be it!! Because they used it before their innings today and pitch started to explore.

There's probably only 100-101 overs left in the game. England should have declared 10-15 overs ago, instead chose to bat out the innings so as to avoid making the declaration decision. Poor captaincy and management.

That is interesting, I was not certain they used it today but presumed they would have (on the assumption they wanted to get more overs at India today) although heard they did when they batted into Day 3 (had no issue with the batting there for what its worth). Wonder how many overs being able to use a heavy roller on Day 5 is worth?

Think its 98 overs on the final day so probably some more overs then 100 or 101 but do agree.

Shubman Gill's Collar should be the name of a social media page.

Or @RossTaylorsBox should have a username change.

Make him play Jofra

 

[Burner]

Compulsive hooker, everyone

 

[honestbharani]

looks like a pitch where surviving might be easier than scoring at a good rate without losing wickets

Which is why it was silly to not go for runs once they the lead was above 380 or so. The pace is not there on the pitch where it is possible.

Rohit has had extra pav during tea, looks like.

Is SR while playing pull shot the worst stat ever?

What next? Pant's SR while smashing slog over mid wicket?

 

[mackembhoy]

82 mph half trackers.

Fantastic joff

Struggling to believe that Jimmy's a worse bet than what we've seen so far from these two.

EDIT
Fair enough Jack, that's brilliant. I was going to delete this post, but I may as well taste it.

"Average while playing the forward defence" to reveal what a useless shot it is.

[honestbharani]

That was a beauty from Leach. But also, lazy from Rohit, but that is expected.

 

[silentstriker]

I don’t understand the purpose of Rohit Sharma.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Get big nose tonight and we are in business.
