Are they bowling with a 120 over old ball? Seriously weak captaincy if so. Back the bloke with 400 wickets.
Well quite.

Gavaskar was ripping into Cook's captaincy on TMS earlier, and he may well have a point. If nothing else, he's made a nonsense of a selection that presumably he was involved in making in the first place. As for keeping going with a ball that's seen 120 overs, what exactly is Cook thinking?

A 70 odd run lead would just about do it for India.
You can see it being more than that they way it's looking out there right now.
Either way we're probably toast. India's spin twins will bowl far better on this track than our guys.

In the lead boys, gotta keep going. If we can go to stumps today without losing another wicket and then have the pitch rolled in the morning and bat for another hour, that'd be ideal.

Stokes staring at nothing. Nice close up. Think they are mentally shot tbh.
He's probably wondering why on earth he bothered turning up today if his captain cba to bowl him. Ditto Anderson.
I'm afraid that piss poor captaincy is one of things I can't stand. However badly you're being outplayed, you should still get basic decisions right.
Ditto missed catches and stumpings of course.

now i'm a **** bloke but surely it would make sense for india to just bat and bat and bat and bat and bat to ensure series victory even if it is another thing that gnske would call a reason cricket will die
