I said in the last test that pitches like this are speeding up the death of test cricket. Its absolutely ridiculous that we're in a position on morning two of a test match where a 31 run lead for India seems massive after bowling out England for 112. Joe Root looks like a prime Shane Warne on this pitch. A lead of 120 for England would make this challenging for India but its all a bit silly isn't it?

Ingram85 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) It’s like watching a couple of one dayers on this terrible wicket. Big grin on Roots face there, he knows how daft this match is that he’s carrying the ball off after his haul.

bannedfromHandV Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 If England somehow get to 200 you’d think that’s win although I’m not sure the pitch will degrade too much further, it’s already a minefield and whilst India will be batting last it’s likely to be on a day 3 pitch, maybe even day 2 so who knows, in the balance I’d say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 astonishing. I mean, I'm delighted but with a lead of 33 I can't rule out an innings defeat we need to smack hard to overturn that deficit quickly I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 25, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2021 It'll be interesting to see the approach to this - on the one hand, one strong partnership could win the game, but it might just be worth forgetting the idea of sensibly building a long innings as a batsman, accept that you're unlikely to stick around for long and see if you can get a quick twenty off a couple of overs.
