India will love it if England get sucked into thinking that their off spinner is more than just lucky on his wicket count. Pant was eating him up fast the other day.
It was the other spinner he devoured.

England should win, to my untrained eye they were too cautious last session, left themselves fewer overs than they could have. But ... I'm sure they have a plan they were working to. Shouldn't matter in the end.
Been some cracking tests the last few weeks. All 3 tests over the weekend were good.

England should win
Batting 100 overs on a day 5 pitch in India is bloody difficult. If India save this, they'll have bloody well earned it.
I assume rain isn't forecast
Was an absolutely crucial toss for England to win

Indians open with 2 spinners, Ashwin getting Burns first ball of the innings, and putting him on a hattrick which he doesn't get.
Test cricket with all sorts of novelty
Poms 258 ahead with 9 second innings wickets intact. 150 odd overs left in the match
Yeah the Windies opened with that big tall fat spinner too.
What the fuck has the game become ?!?!?
Better 🙂 more plusses in the test cricket is cool column
Sub continent season i guess.
Yeah I hear all that but there's just something about a couple of pace bowlers opening up and getting hostile.
we can't get too righteous. We have opened up with CdGH's dibbly dobblies i am sure of it.

At the SCG no less. A sackable offence for Stead, given Southee was "rested".

I’m sure he’s a tiny bit quicker than that. He’s no Chris Harris or Rod Latham.
Fair point though. He’s also no Jeff Thomson or Shoiab Akhtar

Anderson with two wickets in an over. Lack of bounce becoming an issue
Some swing for Anderson too
Superb bowling. He's just kept on developing, and getting reverse in India is impressive. England even more thoroughly in the box seat now

James Anderson wow. A fast-medium bowler who debuted in 2003. Absolutely astonishing.
He's played as many test seasons as Shane Bond played tests.
Bond was better though

The legendary Rahkeem Cornwall
West Indies find subcontinent weapon in Rahkeem Cornwall
His accuracy, calm head and ability to bowl long makes the offspinning allrounder invaluable to the side
