Top class bowling from Anderson and Robinson rather than saying poor batting by kohli. pujara and rahana.
It is the good bowling of Jimmy and Robinson that has gotten England wickets of kohli. pujara and rahana
Not sure really — it was a pretty ordinary piece of judgment from Pujara to shoulder arms given that Robinson was clearly achieving inswing, and Rahane played a nothing shot outside his off stump.
The only batsman who got a severe softening up and working over (from Anderson) and then a peach of a delivery to dismiss him (from Robinson), and so has a properly legitimate reason for being out, was Kohli.
Wasn’t some clown saying pant is on par with gilchrist
I think England have found Jimmy's replacement in Olly.
Spectators should demand a refund! What are they gonna do for the rest of the day!? Lol!
Well played England.
Gilchrist had a poor record in India even after his entire career. Pitches are tough these days (bowler friendly) Let's give some time... (Don't compare to Gilchrist, also don't troll)
England without Stokes, Woakes, Archer and GOAT broad.
Shame that such a strong indian side crumbled.
Excellent result for us. Next game I hope we drop Curran for wood or Saqib.
I think Woakes is fit isn't he..

After England's win in the 3rd Test
That faint flicker of hope that Pujara and Kohli raised died a quick death today. 8 wickets in about 60 runs. We just don't have god enough test batsmen.
Both teams have 5 days to sort out their batting problems, India more so than the English side.
I think Curran will go because of Overtons performance with bat and ball.
Remember when i asked a few months back...do we even need Kohli's runs?
Remove him and we will somehow magically start winning i feel.
It's just unbelievable that currently Rohit Sharma looks our best test batsman. I never imagined I would be saying this ��. [MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION] [MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION]
We need to blood in SKY for tests. It's actually criminal that he hasn't played a single test yet. Amongst Pujara, Kohli and Rahane atleast 2 need to go if not all 3.Gill needs to be persisted with. Who are our other upcoming batsmen? Shaw still looks technically incompetent
As long as we remove these 3 and have proper systems in place to test others, the results will come.
We wasted so many years with Dhoni citing there is no alternative.
There always is if you are willing to test.
Today mayank may be poor but in 2018, he was a champion test batsman...helped us win the aus test series.
We just gotta test and see.
Dunno about SKY credentials but it would be worth a test.
Vihari hasnt done well in county but atleast deserves some chances atleast at home.
Shaw has hid issues.
Right now...i wluld say
Kl
Rohit
Jaddu
Pant
Shaw/SKY
Vihari
Mayank
Ashwin
Thakur
Pack your team with 9 potential bats and play.
We will get some decent insurance policy.
Sundar and Gill will soon be back.

This team's batting looks much more solid than the current one's. I would play Sundar purely as a batsman. He is that good. Ashwin absolutely needs to play. Ishant needs to go aa well.
Worst part is that we're playing 4 no.11s in the name of playing 5 bowlers! You play 5 bowlers when you've got a functional batting lineup. While we've a total of 1.5 bats in our batting lineup.
Another laughable part is that Jadeja is deemed to be playing as a specialist batsman. You gotta laugh at such naivete!
Why do you need a spinner to be played as a specialist bat? That's because your top and middle-order bats are the poorest amongst all test playing nations.
So that's another way of hiding your garbage batting unit and the entire blame for it goes to Kohli, no one else, as Shastri is just his stooge! And Ganguly is too spineless to do anything.
Jadeja is a genuie all rounder . His batting record is way better than most specialist Pakistani batsmen . India should always utilize his batting
This was pretty much my team from test 1.
Batsman might have changed a bit.
Bat till 9.
Pick shardul who can swing it properly.
Pick 2 among Siraj, Shami and Bumrah.
If things go wrong, course correct from there.
Sadly we are in the 4th test so theres almost no chance to course correct.

Sundar should be backed.
Not in England. He’s neither batter nor bowler.

It may be necessary to rest him. He looks tired in the second dig these days. Give Wood a run in his place at the bouncy Oval.
He has better stats than the great Kapil Dev in England.
Are you sure Oval will be bouncy??
That's the real issue. The batting is really bad. The moment pujara got out, I knew we were done. Bowlers and team combinations are secondary issues. The real proble is the middle order and Rahane us the biggest liability in this team.
It would be absolutely ridiculous if we go into the next test with the same lineup, but knowing kohli and his ego he would do exactly that
Kohli says there will be changes in Indian team for the next test. Not due to non performance though. Due to them being tired and hence they'll be rotated.
What a lame duck and dumb captain we have!
Ishant will be dropped for sure
but the batting will remain same
Shardul will play then.
Alright then. Good comeback from England after the shock last match. Joe Root played it smart. Rather than trying to match Kohli's aggression, he quickly learnt from his mistake trying to unleash hell on Bumrah-Shami. The team knuckled down and kept their discipline refusing to get drawn into any squabbles with the Indians even when they bowled us out for under 80.
So guess this series is gonna be 3-1 or 2-1 to India then.
My prediction before the series and after the first two Test matches was 3-1 to India. But I’m not so sure now.
I always thought that India would win at the Oval, because Ashwin (England’s nemesis) will surely come back into the side, and the conditions in general will suit the Indian players.
But perhaps England could then win at Old Trafford.
We could be looking at the series being tied 2-2.
