Super Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 This is just stupid now. You kind of hope India finish tomorrow 8 or 9 down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 3 minutes ago, Super said: This is just stupid now. You kind of hope India finish tomorrow 8 or 9 down. Disagree. England obviously think the target is big enough but want to restrict the time available to get it. If batting is really difficult, we’ll bowl them out in a day. If it isn’t, the likes of Kohli and Pant could still chase this down. They’ve won a big run chase quite recently haven’t they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Okay now it seems daft to be sending Archer out, another thing commentators were suggesting was England still want the ball hard tomorrow morning, bowl too long today and it'll start soft tomorrow morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Classic overthinking going on right now. We will end up needing 2 wickets and wishing we had another 5 overs to bowl. Fools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Just now, TomF said: DRS has been very questionable at times, they run through snicko etc very quickly. On the angle they showed on snicko I actually thought it was bat first more clearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Maybe we are playing for the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 According to the pundits it’s about the number of overs remaining in the game. England want to bowl this session for an hour or so and return tomorrow with a relatively hard ball. England have enough runs already but want to look after their bowlers ready for a day in the field on the last day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman_Stand Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 SUblime batting from Root but have to say that is some questionnable captaincy surrounding the declaration, real pressure to take early wickets now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
