I think India making the (low) target without loss might help this pitch avoid a 'poor' rating.tigerpie wrote:FB_IMG_1614294203774.jpg

The argument being that the Poms played a couple 'get out' shots, and aren't very good at playing spin. India's 1st innings score was very average but not ridiculous.
I feel that the pitch at the MCG a couple of years ago was worse, because there was absolutely no possibility of a result within 5 days. If tests were timeless, Alistair Cook would've still been at the crease when the umpire was blowing the whistle for the start of Round 1 in the AFL.
Also lol at "in no circumstances should the pitch 'explode'."

And batting at 3? What a joke.
Surely Stokes gets the flick for the next test as well?
England look to be all over the place with selection and team balance. India, like in Australia recently seem to be able to change their team and still settle better than their opposition.

Dropping stokes might be the craziest thing I've heard for a while. Only been our best batter the last 12 to 18 months by the length of the strait. Bairstow has a good record against spin hence he plays in Asia but I tend to agree he's had enough chance by now. We simply lack batting depth and rely heavily on root and stokes, hence why we are a good team but not anything more.
England simply weren't good enough but that pitch was deadset average, root should not be taking 5 for 8 ever. At least that flog ashwin got to pad his inflated home stats again.

True, maybe it's because of the conditions? Or workload?Brodlach wrote:Stokes doesn’t seem to be bowling anywhere near as much as he has in the past.
