Fifth Test: India v England, 16-20 Dec (Chennai)

[Arthur Crabtree]

A bit odd Jadeja didn't come on ahead of Mishra. Against two RHB, might be worth getting him on and resting Ashwin for a while.

Nasser with a late entry for the understatement of the year

"this score looks a little under par on this pitch"

[Arthur Crabtree]

Confused now. My internet connection got cut off and when it was restored, the stream and cricinfo had different bowlers on. Jadeja did come on ahead of Mishra.

how did england get 346/7 in this deck.

[Dr Cricket]

for someone thats quite a positive character kohli comes across as pretty indecisive about when to ask for a review

reckon he still learning about the DRS, wasted it a few times in the few test and got criticise for not asking other people and now he going over the top and taking too long asking people for opinion.
should get better the more india uses the DRS.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Only 62 runs in the session. Good fielding from India bottling up England.

yeah at least we didn't collapse after losing the three wickets tho

[Arthur Crabtree]

Mishra losing his length now. Fielders have been preserving his figures after a good start.

boom nice to finally see a test match sold out in India and seats empty and the English press making a fuss.
not really sure how a stadium could be sold out but no one really in the ground.
bit of a controversy at the moment with quite a few English/Indian fans not allowed in the stadium because the game/day is a sellout.
Mumbai had the problem but because the indian fans actually turned up it wasn't really a big deal.
TBH english fans can't be complaining too much did say ages go buy tickets for Mumbai/Chennai the game will sell out not really sure why they paid thousands of money to go india but decided to buy tickets a day before the game.

pictures are cutting in and out as frequently as the england batting line up

starting to get annoying now.

cant understand this from Moeen

they have a field setup for the hook/pull and ishant bowling short to him but he keeps playing the shot without really committing to it

Its alright he got out.

[meninblue]

Hopefully next 3 wickets will fall soon.

[meninblue]

Sir has chance to take five for.

[Dr Cricket]

pretty interesting with Jadeja more effective in the first innings and Ashwin in the 2nd innings.
surprised about Jadeja figures in the 2nd innings.
