BCCI batting looks pretty ordinary after this pair (with Rahane out of nick). Get Kohli here and England have a real opening.

BCCI shanky, I thought it was India playing.

Didn't realise the entire country was playing. The Indian cricket team is a representative of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, which is a private body and independent of the government.

Well Shanky hates calling England and india through name, for him it is ECB and BCCI cricket team.

I see England are still hypocrites in the spirit of the game aspect of it.
Anderson just embarrassing himself and the team for even appealing for it or for trying it.

[Dr Cricket]

Some turn for Rashid.

[hopeforthebest]

Isn't it time to see if the experienced Batty has something to offer.

[hopeforthebest]

I must say Stokes is an ugly individual both character wise and visually. His impatience with minor misfields by his teammates is obnoxious to watch.

[hopeforthebest]

Cook has decided that Rashid is his star bowler but hasn't noticed how few top order batsmen's wickets he takes. Even Patel is only a makeshift opener.

Nice to Nasser Hussain finally mention england pathetic overrate.
mentioned it yesterday as well.
Think that spell was what annoys fans the most they sometimes just stop bowling for a few mins after each overs.
England tends to be very slow when bowling dry spells.

[Dr Cricket]

Why is batty playing and not bowling much.
Although they got no choice since Ballance and Duckett can't play.

If I were required to bowl to Pujara and Kohli I think I would take my time.

[Dr Cricket]

Why is nasser acting like batty is a part timer, I think Batty needs to take wickets and bowl well not sure he can afford to be expensive and toothless considering he picked on his bowling.

[hopeforthebest]

So Batty is going to get a couple of overs before tea, not before time.

[Dr Cricket]

well you are required to bowl 90 overs in the time allocated.
Although do think england shoot themselves in the foot sometimes since them wasting time most likely makes the dry spell less effective since the batsman regain composure and in doing so don't feel the pressure of the spell.
Don't think Kohli/pujara been that troubled in this session even though the ball reversing and england setting some very good fields.
wonder if that would be the case if England let say bowled 17 overs in an hour for about 25 runs.
