Nasir Hussain and Sanjay Manjrekar arguing about whether it's the difference between the spinners of the two sides or the quality of the batsmen. Perhaps there's merit in both arguments but I tend to agree with Nasir. The Indian batsmen haven't been really tested like the Englishmen have.
They work concurrently
If Indian batsmen had Jadeja and Ashwin bowling at them they would have struggled more
The problem with Rashid and Moin is that they give too many loose balls which gives the opposition an opportunity to release pressure
But, they are modern cricketer - can average 35 with bat. If you can't bat as a spinner, for 4 days of a Test match you are wastage of a spot.
These commies won't stop about the 14 over takes wicket cliche. 20th time they have mentioned.
That too in a situation where drop catches were super common.
They talk in cliches for EVERYTHING. Kohli..Ashwin...Vijay...Pujara....no matter what cliches galore.
Damn....I wish we Indians had Sky instead of the garbage Star.
Such inferior skills in analysis.
I didn't get that. His SR is like 50. So in the 9th over.
Whats this 14th over thing?

That wicket is because of Jadeja. He is such an invaluable asset for Kohli.
Jayant just called Manjrekar "sir" ,should hear him in the commentary and hopefully he would stop that.
damn. Bairstow and Buttler tomorrow![]()
Manjeraker is one of the worst commentators. His level of analysis is so damn poor.
And India.
He is a really really really valuable player.
True,even Ravi sometimes analyses the game but this lad is as dull as they come.
Have that fear of England sneaking a victory if they get a lead of 100 above hopefully not.

No way England winning from here

Remember the days when almost everyone thought he isnt cut out for Test cricket![]()
lol what.....
Ain't happening.
Don't you see whats happening with the pitch.
The bounce is NEGATING ALL THE EFFECTS OF TURN.
Ashwin and Jaddu would have ended with a 5fer today and bundled out other teams if you cancel out the bounce and just keep the turn.
The bounce removes lbws out of picture. It gets the ball to lob up but land safely beyond the close in fielders. It gets the ball to sit up nicely to smash.
You bowl good length, batsmen can stay on the back foot and defend.
You bowl full, batsmen can drive you.
You bowl short, batsmen can smash you.
You have to bowl in the SMALL AREA between good length and full length with flight and dip to get results. Or else oohs and aahs only for you. Luck and bad shots will only get you wickets.
Even if England set 200 (unlikely)....India would likely chase it if pitch's bounce remains true.

The bounce will remain imo but defn the pitch is not historically similar to Wankhede pitches the 1st,2nd,3rd innings average totals have already been crossed.
Remember during 2005 series Australia wasn't able to do anything here because of pitch conditions not sure if the authorities wanted to extend this to 5th day or Parthiv wanted and our catching is the only reason where I'm thinking they will drop Bairstow twice more tmrw.
Yeah need to attack and wrap it up as quickly as possible. Our catching has been horrendous.
Crazy morning session from Bairstow/Buttler and anything is possible.
Keep in mind India have no reviews left and are poor catchers (in this series).
He started tests with a bang. I don't remember any who said that but I may be wrong.
Whats wrong is people calling him a rank turner bully.
Jaddu is an asset that can't be quantified. His average will look better than the bowler he is...but his true value for the team is GREATER than what people give him credit for.
He is the kind that every main spinner would love to have as a partner. He helps others get good stats.
Very complicated to explain. Haha.
It was before his debut.Since he was a darter,it was thought he wouldnt do well in Tests.Now has bunnies in Clarke and Cook
Whats good about him is that he'll always give you something and never be a liability.If wickets are not coming,he can be used to make sure that the game doesnt run away from you quickly.Thats what every captain wants
Hope his batting comes good too.Has shown signs of maturity lately
Its the opposite imho.
Need to maintain control and let them crumble.
We got final 2 wickets due to some tight overs prior to that.
Genius39 overs left today, I can see England finishing the day 5 or 6 down.
Jadeja must be the 3rd most valuable player in this Indian Test team after Ashwin and Kohli. What a massive turnaround from being a supposedly 'bits-and-pieces' player who was selected as a 5th bowler who bats a bit amidst near universal disapproval by Indian fans 4 years ago. He was deemed as a T20 specialist completely ill-suited for Test cricket. Ironically, T20 is his weakest format and Test cricket the strongest!
What makes Jadeja such an asset is that whatever the match situation or the pitch conditions he rarely goes wicketless or concedes a lot of runs and almost never does both at the same time. Over the course of a match or series that adds up to excellent bowling figures.
Lets say they get 150 in morning and are 100 hundred
Score another 100 in 2nd session.
Just one session left to play out.We arent getting out under 150 here against Rashid and Moeen
It just so happens that the best two spinners available can bat some. There are no specialists who can bowl better unless you count poor Monty.
Manjeraker is one of the worst commentators. His level of analysis is so damn poor.
Why isnt Jack Leach playing? Heard he is one of the highest wicket takers this year
Cos apparently he takes a lot of wickets but since they are taken in spin friendly pitches (in his county)....they don't count.
I ain't kidding you.
Even Ansari and Batty have got selected ahead of this fellow.
Swann ripped into English management even before the Ind series reg this.
He said "what do pitches in India do...they freaking SPIN...get Leach in."
More likely reason is that he can't bat.England want everyone especially spinners to contribute with the bat
He also makes clutch contributions with the bat. I believe his 32 not out saved India in the first Test when we were six down in the last session. Also his 90 in the second Test broke English morale and they folded in their second innings. His 68 in Lords was instrumental in us winning that Test.
His fielding is electric.
But the best thing about him is his "sword play" celebration!

Would be great if Butler and Bairstow take the game away from India so I can laugh my a-- off.
