Is it really a surprise after seeing how well said bowled and how difficult conditions were yesterday?

I honestly wasn't. I only heard of the Murali Vijay-Karthik thing on CW, too. How did it become common knowledge? Surprised it didn't turn into a huge scandal when it happened, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

7/89 is a bit grim tbh. And on closer inspection, I see a run-out and one caught-at-fine-leg which is hardly making the bowlers bowl you out.

It's comforting to say that we've competed on this tour or whatever, but the sad truth is that the batting has been diabolical. In 4 innings we've only had 3 good knocks. Low scoring games have meant that the margins of defeat look smaller but these are pretty comprehensive losses. Only the bowling has stood up.

Yeah the top 6 has honestly been kind of disgraceful. They're flying completely under the radar because of the quality of the attack they're facing, but this is honestly so far from adequate or acceptable it isn't funny.

Repetitive posting is what you're in trouble for, not for expressing your opinion.

plus Hardik flayed at one short and wide that could have been left.
Ofcourse now is when Nohit decide to show some application and knuckle down. Man I hate Nohit. He gets opportunity after opportunity while being a dumb **** and not contributing, whilst others are hardly given the same leash. He then begins to score and contribute and keeps his place in the side on merit whereas other players can be the best performer in one game and get dropped in the next for no good reason.

It would be pretty funny if Rohit got a pretty but utterly useless 54 or something like that, and thus placated all the media pundits.

This is exactly what's going to happen, right?

Kohli's been excellent, Vijay had a half decent knock in the first innings.
Otherwise it's been absolute trash.

Kohli's been okay tbh. He's had one good innings out of four - a really good innings, but only one.

To add to this, hard to single out any one of the top 5 or 6. Vijay has been uncharacteristically loose, Che seems to be in a funny head space and needs to put the blinkers on, Dhawan and Rahul have been too flaky (and, thanks to this weird rotation thingy there's no consensus on which the best opening combo is). And Rohit has been, well, Rohit.
