Then again England may have the fire power to chase that down with Root, Bairstow, Stokes and Pope, but surely just surely Bairstow has to miss out shortly

Root and Bairstow literally did what they wanted during that innings, made the Indian bowlers look like park cricketers. What an absolute domination.Eagles2014 wrote:locky801 wrote:Think India will need a lead of well over 400 here.

Bairstow proves you wrong
Four centuries in last five innings, plus Root continues to score hundreds, truly remarkable effort with the new coach and captain.

They ain’t beating us. Their top order is garbage. Lees and Crawley are genuine crabs and Pope would struggle to get a game at the Redbacks. Root and Fat Johnny will have to score the bulk of runs but Johnny is a scared kitten against us. They don’t have a spin bowler and their ageing attack will be another year older.Senor Moto Gadili wrote:Might be unbearable in 12 months if the Poms play like this against us. These two could bat with a stump and still make runs.

India have been docked two World Test Championship (WTC) points for maintaining a slow over rate in the Edgbaston Test, which they lost by seven wickets to England for the series to end at 2-2. As a result of the penalty, India currently have 52.08 percentage points, a shade lower than Pakistan's 52.38, and are down to No. 4 on the WTC table, below Australia, South Africa and Pakistan.
The members of India's playing XI in the Edgbaston Test, the fifth of the series that began last year but had to be completed now because of a Covid-19 scare in the Indian camp at the time, have also been fined 40% of their match fees.
This is the second time India have been penalised for the same offence in the England series, and third time overall, in the current WTC cycle. They lost two points in the series opener in Nottingham - a Test that was drawn after a final-day washout - and another point in Centurion on their tour of South Africa in January. Their tally of deducted points in the current cycle stands at five.
The development could have a significant bearing on India's chances of making the WTC final. In the previous cycle, Australia narrowly missed out on making the title round after being docked four points in the Boxing Day Test against India. With their away tour of South Africa cancelled because of Covid-19, Australia fell below New Zealand, who beat India in the final.
According to the ICC guidelines, players are fined 20% of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl within the allotted time after time allowances are taken into consideration. In addition, the WTC playing conditions say, a side is penalised one point for each over they fail to bowl within the stipulated time. Since India fell short by two overs at Edgbaston, they lost two points.
