That's the one they wanted.

Moeen is going to be so good for England.
 
Collapse.

2 of the most reliable batters gone.

One runout and other wicket to Moen Ali.

India will lose 4 or 5 wickets today itself.

Batting like headless chickens there.

Pujara was playing for turn there and there was none. He should have realized it is Moen Ali and not Murali. Moen does not turn the ball much.

LOL

It hardly makes any difference for many posters. We play T-20 now so anything is possible ;)

Run rate is irrelevant. Indians have to bat out time to save this test. It's not looking likely that they will last till even tea. Test is in the bag for Eng. They have to do really bad from here to not take 8 wickets in 120+ overs. Pressure gets to you and that's why so few 350+ has been chased.

I hate it when India gives wickets to part timers like Moen Ali.

Moen Ali is not spinning the ball and Indians are playing as if the ball is turning square. Idiots.
 
England was always going to win this test after India's poor performances in first 2 innings of the test.

That I got it in this thread. I was talking about few posters seriously arguing about newbie team chasing 400+ in other thread with me. They were claiming that game has changed and big scores get chased down in shorter formats consistently. I wasn't even commenting about Indians specifically. I was onyl saying that there is a very good reason for 350+ getting chased only handful of times in entire history even with experienced batting line ups. Here you have a green team. ODI is different than test.

Pujara needs ways to go before he can be compared to Dravid. He has been failing for quite sometime now.

Pujara is still living on the hype he got in the SA tour.
 
There is only two possible outcomes to this Test match an Indian win or a draw. This is where Kohli excels and this will be the Test match where he officially unveils himself as one of the true greats of the modern game regardless of format. #BleedBlue #Believe
 
Mark: "Why does everyone always assume that, just because the RRR is quite small, a world record chase for Tests is relatively trivial? Successful 4th innings run chases over 300 are VERY rare. On average they are more than 10 times more likely to end in defeat than to be successful!!!"

Nice to see an indian match thread with some optimism instead of the general negativity and wrist slitting

Its true , chasing in test match is different to that in shorter formats.

This UN team will be left shell shocked and once again crying once this match is over along with Pak fans like [MENTION=100918]Square Drive[/MENTION] and [MENTION=56866]Bullet Drive[/MENTION] and the rest of the Pakistani bandwagoners #BleedBlue

Total 2132 tests. Being 1 out of 2132 means - 0.04%

I know many are simply trolling right now but few posters were making a serious argument based on short formats in different threads.

There is no way we are winning this.
I would say 95% chance of an English win.
5% chance of a draw, if India bat out of their skin.

I was only trying to convey the probability here. I heard all these 50% to 10% chance of Indians chasing 400+ in the last 1-2 days based on non-relevant factors. Nothing is impossible but just trying to put some perspective here.

You should have seen discussion in earlier threads. Few were lecturing me about how cricket has changed and we shouldn't read much into past records of 350-400 not getting chased.
 
There is one quality about Dhawan. Whenever it looks like it may be a last opportunity for him, he scores. Then follows it with 10 more failures ofcoz, but he knows how to cling on to the playing 11.
 
Saving the Test isn't the issue.

If India manage to bat the 105 overs normally, they will automatically win. It won't need a special effort.

The thing is the more defensively they bat, they more likely they are to be out. Thankfully, these two are beginning to get set, and once set Indian batters aren't prone to do the kind of stuff SA did against Srilanka. I just can't see Kohli facing 100 balls for 5 runs and thank god for that.
