Epic innings from Turner this. Really poor from India though. Lot of work to do before world cup. Bumrah needs more support at the death, Wrist spinners(Chahal especially) are sitting ducks with dew around, Pant is amateurish with the gloves, middle order not settled, power hitting required with the bat in slog overs. And guess what, catching has been poor as well.

This is great.

Could be a fantastic World Cup this if basically anyone can chase any score.

Yeah I do wonder if lots of wrist spinners is really playing percentages in English conditions. It could work, but it could also turn into a procession of Mick Lewis's on 350+ pitches and small grounds.

Say what you like about Dhoni being a liability with the bat but the team doesn't lose their collective heads in the field like this in a tight situation with him behind the stumps.

Yeah, it's great hitting but the deterioation in the Indian team has been really noticeable since Turner started whacking them

Lol imagine if Dhawan had slapped his thigh right there

Bit like the march from Cottrell the other day after Buttler made 150

Man, that was a brilliantly constructed chase all round given the 2 early wickets. Turner's innings obviously right out of the box but even then, a less ridiculous innings could still have seen Aus win given the substantial buffer they ended up with

Shankar underbowled today. Kohli should have figured it out in real time. Pant not good enough with the gloves. Can't afford it. Bhuvi undone again in the last overs. He should be bowled out by the 40th.
