They might have thought it would be umpire's call at worst. Ash was asking Rishabh about the line, he was sure it was pad first. Pant is still kinda leaning to the seniority thing, I guess. With time, maybe he will be more forthright.

The one thing that India will hate to happen is Stokes hanging around to play with the tail. He can be absolutely damaging then than at any other phase of the game.

Funny thing about Siraj is, he doesn't change his bowling in the shorter formats, gets absolutely smoked bowling these regular good-length balls, has an economy of 9 in the IPL if I am not wrong. Would want him to continue the same way, don't mind him getting smashed in the shorter formats as long as he bowls well in tests.

Yes nothing about that Bairstow dismissal looked out, once it was established there was no bat involved. Very surprised to see it hitting.

Technology is only good for preventing howlers. These close calls are still always going to be touch and go. Ball-tracking has been off on various occasions. Same with snicko, sometimes it is just inaccurate. Not sure about this one though, not watching it live.

wouldn't mind if he gets the Ishant/Pujara treatment and is seen as a red-ball specialist only.

He'd probably like to earn some IPL $$$ tho.

Just on that is Pujara's worth as a test player compensated for in extra payments he can't earn in the ipl?

Yes, but the numbskulls we have in the management might think otherwise. Haven't they tried hard to fit Shami in the shorter formats even though we have better options?
