2 consecutive series defeats at home to India is all it took I guess.Yeah I dont think watching would've improved your chances of knowing how its playing
The problem seems to be that your batsmen have been spooked, mostly by good bowling, especially Ash but also by the puffs of dust. You cant make the mistake that the pitch is just the top layer alone. I remember once an absolute green top looking pitch was rolled out in Mohali against NZ but the below layer was soft as hell. Once the top surface wore off after the first two days, it became such a low and flat "bat for draw" deck. We got bowled out on day 1 for 80 odd and then made a BIG score in the 3rd innings and it became a dull draw. Play based on how the pitch is behaving, not based on how its looking.Classic batting with the pressure off here.
England to try this approach in the second innings and be out for 60 or something.
What commentator said that lolMoeen is not a perfectly fine bowler ffs
Based on Indian posters here who say these pitches are conplete roads, I’d probably take a stump out with me.If Ashwin was bowling to Burgey in the subcontinent I wonder what his plan would be to negate the turn/bounce? TOTAB at the non-strikers end of course
Yeah, it's not so hard when you're 200 ahead and you know your side hold all the aces. But probably unfair for anyone to call it downhill skiing after his knock in the first innings.Classic batting with the pressure off here.

It was a phrase that was regularly trotted out by one of our regulars a few years ago. And tbf it may well have been true then.What commentator said that lol
It's a shame you aren't being sorely missed somewhere else.Buttler being sorely missed here.
The thing about playing against Ashwin is that if you survive a few balls on such tracks, he is gonna start doing stupid experimentation stuff. Foakes got the benefit of that. Pope did that a bit too. Till then, just take an off stump guard as a rightie, get the LBW out of play, and just look to defend and stay at the wicket and make him bowl 7 overs or so without a wicket. You can bet you will get 4 balls often enough after that.Based on Indian posters here who say these pitches are conplete roads, I’d probably take a stump out with me.
Seriously, I would hope I’d last about four balls given he’s got 300 plus test wickets and I have precisely zero test runs, but I think it would try to play him off the back foot a fair bit.
mostly because my knees are ****ed so I can’t sweep, and also on the old premise that while dancing down the track is usually referred to as using your feet, going back to spinners is just as important, especially if the bounce is consistent
Probably playing like a **** hole given the venue tbhYeah I dont think watching would've improved your chances of knowing how its playing
Definitely true at home for most his career.It was a phrase that was regularly trotted out by one of our regulars a few years ago. And tbf it may well have been true then.
It's an old CW meme......and was true for a brief period when it came about. Not so much now.What commentator said that lol
