India v England | 2nd Test | Visakhapatnam | Nov 17-21, 2016 | Day 3

Ashwin and Kohli should stop bossing around and ask the other fielders for opinion in taking reviews. Saha and Rahane should provide inputs.
 
England 135/5 (57.4 ov)
England trail by 320 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Stokes 27*
Bairstow 28*
 
India are just making up for all the reviews they missed out on while they had banned DRS. :srini
 
Good god Ravi is a terrible commentator.

The only negative of him not being coach.
 
The Weasleys are resisting well, but a single wicket could derail their efforts.
 
Saha is having a poor series. Dropped Stokes twice in the 1st Test and missed his stumping chance today. Could be really costly. Pitch is still playing good so batsmen can score big hundreds.
 
England 171/5 (69.3 ov)
England trail by 284 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Jonny Bairstow (rhb) 44*
Ben Stokes (lhb) 45*
 
If these two and the others in the back score 200 runs more, England might be out of danger.

Saha is the worst keeper going around. I can't think of another test keeper who is so poor.

And it's not like he can bat either. Ashwin precedes him in the line-up.

Lol what?

His keeping is better than Dhoni's in tests and he's done well this year with the bag

He has been pretty good till this series. The fact that he has played for close to two years without anyone talking about any mistakes shows that he has been good. However, he has to stop these mistakes because the only reason he is in the team is because he is supposedly the best keeper in India. Otherwise we might as well take a chance on Rishab Pant or go back to Karthik
 
Wow another back against the wall innings by Bairstow, this is his year.

He's better than Waqar "do a great work" Younis, but still one of the worst.

Him, Waqar, every Bangla commentator ever, Russell Arnold are the worst commentators atm.

Bowled without luck mainly. Ashwin took a TERRIBLE review, and Saha missed an easy stumping.

I see...commies right now mentioning about pitch settling down. That explains it.

Saw Ash's review. Someone must have a stern word with him. What nonsense was that.

Umesh gets a wicket with reverse. Cool.
 
Decent session for us. Could have been much worse. Hopefully can avoid the follow-on now.
 
Where are the Indian posters?

Thread is dead
 
Late middle order showing the top order how to bat. Again.
 
Rashid's batting reminds me of Swann's. Fearless, unpredictable and plays several shots well.
 
What would have happened in the Stokes instance is there was a clear inside edge?

Would that have meant that Stokes was still given out, since the catch was taken by Pujara?

Or it would have been given not out because the umpire went upstairs for LBW?

No. The DRS reviews only what is reviewed. So if review was for lbw and it was an edge and caught somewhere then the decision is overturned.

This is what happened a couple of years ago in a test match I remember. Not sure whether rules have changed. Also whether the bowler can re-review. I do remember in a Pak England test match there were 2 reviews on the same decision from both sides

iirc DRS checks all possible modes of dismissal, so would've been out either way.

Really? I thought they changed it.
 
England is missing Woakes. Such a valuable player for them with both bat and ball. He could have scored some useful runs here as he always does.

I hope they've changed. Its ridiculous that pedantic rules such as this come in the middle.

If its a review, they should take into account the whole delivery, and not just the particular decision.

They already look at the No ball when reviewing, even when the no ball was not considered by the umpire.

Nope, you misunderstood. An appeal covers all forms of dismissal and therefore so does a DRS review. In the cases you mention though i believe it was given out caught and found it was only pad. The onfield umpire thought it wasn't out lbw if there was no bat but Hawkeye showed umpires call therefore it was not out. Something like that.
 
I wish our tailenders could bat like England. Everyone can bat. Broad has a better technique than Kayes
 
Pitch has been a batting pitch so far. Not much turn so far.
 
Should have kept Jayant Yadav for a couple more overs.

Kohli doesnt seem to give Jayant Yadav long spells.
 
Poor Broad. Don't think that was out. But the English have themselves to blame for using reviews when they were out. Especially the Ansari one.
 
Lots of time still left in the game. India should score 300 at a decent RR(70 overs) and declare with 500 as target.
 
World's best spinner living up to the expectations. Brilliant performance from Ashwin. :bow:

His performance in Asia is definitely top class

And def better than the performance of Asian counterparts in England or South Africa

I wonder why his average is in high 20s despite being a beast at home and very good in Asia. Ideally he should have an average of around 25. Must have a very poor record in Aus/SA.

He was poor till 2008

Since then it's 26 I think. And yes he's been atrocious in Australia one tour aside

Same problem here again had England gone for LBW review for Vijay. Luckily, the correct decision was given.

But they need to start looking at the whole delivery rather than one decision.
 
I din't think that there was an edge here...
 
Lol these wickets by broad have opened up a Pandora's box for England

They were all set to drop broad and bring in Woakes for next Match and now he's taken two quick wickets

Even if India get all out for 50 things will slightly be in their favor :))

You never know..This wicket hasn't really broken up and good for batting apart from the low bounce. A Stokes special can win it for them..:murali

250 is surely chase-able here. Pitch hasn't turned so far. Ashwin's wickets were due to drift, flight etc..

What do you think a safe target is here?
Click to expand...

400 is very safe, but if pitch can start turning more then even 325 will be safe. Also safe means many things here. 300 is hard to chase in 4th inning. By safe I meant , extremely low low chase of getting chased. So it depends what you mean by safe target.

300+ will be hard for Eng.

Rahane needs to stand up here.

The ball is reversing and Jimmy and Broad are bowling great here..India can't afford an another flop from him.
 
We need minimum 350, 400 will make sure Eng can't chase that.

We are still 100-150 runs away from that target and are 3 down. Once again a tricky situation and Kohli is the key here.

Interesting next hour and half of play coming up. India would like to end the day at 120/3 or 4.

As I type sensational on drive for :4: by Virat

Let's bowl out India for 100 then game will be interesting.
 
Don't think Cook will ever use his spinners here. The pacers are getting the ball to reverse greatly.
 
I have more respect for Anderson than I do for Broad,lovely to watch.
