Fourth Test: India v England, 8-12 Dec.

[Dr Cricket]

Cook let Buttler, Jennings, Bairstow anyone else bowl this is so boring to watch now.

[Arthur Crabtree]

There's been that talk about Anderson for years, but his average is still falling.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Average for Anderson over last three years, oldest first: 22, 23, 24.

Though defensiveness is a fair observation, as the econ is coming down, and the SR going up.

This is 2011 again isn't it.
must be very depressing to watch.
how did india get close to 600 here.

It's not depressing at all, we're saving depressing for when we are batting.

[meninblue]

At lunch,179 runs lead. At most imo we will be chasing 70 runs if at all we have to bat again.

[Gingerfinch]

Well that session has put the game out of our reach.

[Dr Cricket]

lol even the umpires want india to declare now giving yadav free runs

[Dr Cricket]

Athers just confirm from what I thought after Rajkot that Yadav was picked in this squad for his batting.
my idea at the time was that Yadav was a front line batsman that bowl decent spin.
his first class stats are decent as well if you exclude lahli.
"Jayant Yadav batting averages in FC: (Before this game)

At Lahli: 395 runs @ 14.1
Outside Lahli: 1270 runs @ 43.79 "

PS Haryana must be loving the neutral pitches now don't have to play any games in Lahli anymore lol.

[bigfluffylemon]

This is ridiculous.

I concur that England will make this pitch look like a minefield when it's our turn to bat. And we know that this England batting line-up doesn't have it in them to grind out a draw for four or so sessions. They can't help playing shots, no matter what the match situation.

[meninblue]

100 by Jayant.

235 runs partnership.

Total 594, this batting lineup is awesome in these conditions.

[meninblue]

204 runs lead. Bat like T20 now and declare once lead is 250.

Doesnt matters if we lose 3 wickets for 0 runs now. Time to attack.

[Dr Cricket]

should declare now no need to give cheap wickets to the spinners lol.

[rich1uk]

think my SKY coverage is bugged

it just showed england taking a wicket

[hopeforthebest]

I see Cook has chosen Woakes as the sacrificial lamb.

[meninblue]

Never mind, Jayant. Was time to play T20. Well played.
