Gill looks so good, and yet average is literally average.
They must be running short on patience with Shubman in test cricket.
He looks like he should average 50 ... just gets himself out consistently. Weird.

Well, up until his last test.

No
Plus he never averaged 60 in ODIs.
Poor comparison

This post has aged awkwardly……
How bout that new young opener ? 12 sixes in his 214 ? First class average of 77 ! He out Bazballed the Bazballers.
Wonderful stuff.

I don't think I've cheered on an Indian Side since before Ganguly was in the team. However there's a lot to like about the team (not the admin though - pack of fluffybunnies) but particularly that Jaiswal whippersnapper
Yeah any time England start wanking on about being world beaters is the time I cheer for the other team

It's been an interesting game and series. As per the last test, England really had a grip on the game after 2 days, winning the toss and posting a reasonable total on an unpredictable pitch. Firstly India were 177/7 and made 307 and then from 110/3, they collapsed to 145 all out when another 50 runs could have been critical.
Still not a sure thing as the ball shoots or pops when it hits a crack but there is pressure on the spinners when the target is not massive. Have been impressed with the 3 England spinners - but young and inexperienced players, they have coped well - no doubt helped by the captaincy of Stokes and showing faith in them even when they get taken for runs. India's depth is huge - Jaiswal, Jurel, Sarfaraz have all come in recently and performed.

India three down at lunch, still need 74 with the pitch playing some tricks.
You'd expect they'll get these, but the next hour should be fun viewing!
been a fun test.
India have wrestled this back from the brink.
