Bashir brings up his 100 in style with a 7 run delivery.... Time for him to go back to sitting on Somerset's bench

Ultrashort boundaries might make the total feel smaller.
I always say that everybody's right.

I don't suppose they will, but I think England should do what India don't want them to- play for the draw.

Maybe time to rest him. Confidence can't be high. And being solo spinner is exposing.
No slow bowler is taking wickets in this series.
I always say that everybody's right.

England have only scored 600 runs at home in any innings 4 times in my whole life. This total is now beyond academic, there is literally no point batting on.
You can say any number of things about the pitch, bazball and scoring rates or whatever.... 600 aint happening. No way.
Bashir picks up Gill. Surely that must be it now?

No the England win vanished long ago. But maybe not in the mind of the India captain. Or it was mental disintegration. It won't matter anyway once India win.
I always say that everybody's right.
