It is his batting that we need. I know people like SkySports who only watch cricket in England will say that he is a tailender, but he scores a lot of runs for us and without him, our tail is too long. Therefore, the only realistic replacement is Ashwin, who also bats.
They have come in bursts, but the thing which worries me is that England bat so bloody far down. I just hope we have something realistic to chase rather than England batting us out of the Test here, which is a possibility with our inconsistent attack.
A good point. But carrying an inconsistent bowler for the sake of his batting isn't viable. Your top 7 is pretty classy in any case.
I was feeling the same way yesterday when one massive partnership could have almost determined the game. Such is the tension of low scoring matches I guess. This is a huge, huge session of the match for both sides.
Within reason, though.
Yeah, wow.
What happened i missed it?
What're they saying?
I'm on a Star Cricket stream (for unimportant reasons) and they are discussing UDRS. I think Shastri was badmouthing Hussain and the British press perhaps on an aftermatch show or perhaps in an article and Hussain called him out on it. They've calmed down now.
Possibly, but this partnership is crucial. Not really expecting much from Morgan and Trott is crippled. So Prior and the tail could be in before you know it if they can break this partnership
