What has Shastri done to the real Murali Vijay? He was great in 2014
He is going to get slaughtered by their press and fickle af supporters

I think fans would make that declaration but international captains try not to factor the weather in so much. What if it didn't rain? What if they batted well second time around and left us a small target in tricky conditions. All very unlikely but captains always take the safest option. They would rather fail to win a game they should have than give the tiniest chance of losing a game they have dominated by declaring.

We don’t. Hence you make sure you don’t lose first by not getting skittled for 150You said we didn't need to win....?
I agree like. 300 was enough. The likelihood is they will try to bat it out now rather than flinging the bat and getting out.
I think it depends on the country the team are touring and, also, obviously the nature of the crime.

That's nonsense like. It was defensive by Root's standards before you consider aggressive captains like McCullum.
I presume the coaches think scoreboard pressure will cause India to crumble. The risk is they try to shut up shop.
Having said that
Anyway do you think Woakes can yet be considered one of the top 10 English qualified seamers in the county game?

India have been awful so far like. Pakistan looked a far better side over here.

What a daft post. When I made that comment a few years back he wasn't. He has significantly improved his game and found an extra 15mph of pace.
IIRC I also said he needs to be working with Anderson to learn his trade secrets and this seems to have happened.
Always have done. The difference in conditions between India and England is immense

Not allowed to bat for another 3 minutes or so as he didn't field this morning

Was off the field when they were fielding, so not allowed to bat until the equivalent amount of time has elapsed. Think it was something like 40 minutes in this case, so he will come in next.

Could have had em 4 down if we'd put them straight in this morning ffs
Don't understand. Why does that shot make modern cricket lamentable?See that 6 by Sam Curran
Talented lad but f***ing hell, modern cricket is lamentable. Imaging trying [& getting away with] that 20 or 30 years ago.
Botham played those kind of shots back in the '80's.
