Lead of less than 50 and India will be the favourites the way this is looking like its going to turn.
Eh?? We're already 20 in front, so a lead of +50 surely should not be an issue with 4 (decent bats) in the shed.

And how is this turning wicket against Eng when we'll be bowling last?? We've got The Beard J'may.

Erm? We won't be bowling last....

I'm not getting why Dhoni won't bowl Sir Jadeja here.

If you prefer Ashwin so much as a bowler then it begs the question why was Sir Jadeja playing ahead of him in the first place? It's not like Ashwin is looking potentially dangerous here either and now 2 Right handers are in.

Well, the problem/strength of our tail is they're all pretty attacking, which an be great if they get going, but it's not beyond the realms they could all clatter in a heap. After all, all these problems were caused by an injudicious shot by CJ when we looked comfortable. Been downhill ever since. Not blaming him, but it's the way we're going to play, has risks.

Bat to ball on every ball atm. Pretty positive stuff which I'm not sure is called for
I really can't tell. Hanging around for a dozen overs and getting out to a jaffa is not exactly a great alternative. I don't think sitting out and tiring the bowlers would be a helpful way to go at this point. Maybe controlled aggression is the way to go, until hte new ball arrives.
