@Chris Ye of little faith! Pressure is a funny thing and after the first test all of the pressure is on India. You would expect them to score 400, but you also would expect them to score more than 46 in the first test
We will see my money is on a big Indian score
With Gill and Washington they are a much stronger batting line up.
They also scored 462 in the 2nd innings this is a typical Indian pitch they will go well on it.Yup. I see them getting a big score and beating us having to only bat once

Stokes also bowls when not broken, and doesn't drop regulation chances with the gloves.
Yeah we are not comparing Stokes and Marsh’s batting to Blundel either which is not good enough to bat at 8.

Yep exactly what is going to happen after throwing away the bat first advantage.

Santner as our third highest scorer is slightly sobering.
He’s an occasionally effective specialist low order batsman nowadays

In India more so a batsman than a bowler, either way right now I will take any runs we can get

Can't blame a number 10 for that, but looks to me like a pitch you have to force yourself to play forward on regardless of instincts, unless it's dropped really short.
Yep you are spot on there that is exactly what you have to do to survive.

Hopefully O’Rourke can get a couple before the end of play.
Disappointing we lost 6 wkts for 65 runs.Not quite as bad as 10 for 46, but still bad...
Yeah but we were 197/4 we had done some hard work and threw it away.

Totally agree. What a wasted opportunity

259 simply isn't enough, even with the benefit of not having to bat last.

Latham, Young, Ravindra and Santner looked decent.
Most of the other guys were flailing around - even though Devon got runs.
Our spinners are unlikely to be good enough to run through the Indians like Sundar did to us, so unless something odd happens, I think we're likely already cooked.
