England almost giving India their own medicine
A wicket is looking less likely now though, would have been a real chance if we had got one of these straight after the last wicket.Another wicket in the next 2-3 overs and I will keep believing
He did much, much more than that.So pretending to play a shot is enough?
There is massive grey area between leaving and playing. Not sure if this makes sense, but it was surely closer to a shot than to a leave.Yeah I don't think Ashwin is playing a shot but umps never going to give it
Well you're going to be even more disappointed when I tell you its the 5th.Really disappointed by this 4th day.
I remember I was impressed by Root's bowling in India 4 years ago. Albeit in the ODI series (I think) .Root bowling? Worth a punt, I guess, but I'd not ahve done it if I was captain
I accept that batsmen tucking their bats behind their pads has always been part of the game, on the basis that they've always been allowed to get away with it, but I still don't think it's rightHe did much, much more than that.
Yeah sort of reminds me of that first Test in UAE, this was a better performance than that though, so many good things to come out of it.I think it's just clever from Ashwin. There's no real way for the umpire to tell for sure if he's just playing down completely the wrong line, even though he almost certainly knows what he's doing. Those are never going to be given.
Well this was a great effort at least. Although now it's given me a small measure of actual hope for the series which will inevitably come back to bite me.
