Why is it that everyone *except* the england bowlers can see they are pitching generally too short and wide?

This lad Vijay has pretty poor footwork but has very nice hands that bail him out when he gets into trouble.

Stokes, in a few years time, could end up being England's next opening bowler

England have pissed the new ball and conditions up the wall - 58-2 and India must be laughing. England could be all out for that in these conditions.

On a raging greentop you must -

1. make him play
2. not bowl half way down the deck

Seems to have by-passed the brains trust. If ball after ball get's left, you either change the line or your position on the crease until the guy doesn't know where his off stump is. Why would you bowl half way down the deck when it's doing plenty on a length?

India's engine room at the crease now.

Get one or both of Pujara and Kohli soon after lunch and India could be 120-150 all out.

That said England are feeding Kohli with soon freebies at present...

So far hardly any of the balls look like hitting the stumps

Around the wicket bowling short on a green top.
They really have lost the plot

Matt prior has dropped another dolly. Off the bowling of Ali. The batsman was Kohli.

Time for retirement Matthew..

Another drop, easy catch too.
How long can prior continue to be selected

So... England's seamers... What have you done? And then you take the dropped catches. It is entirely a display of a team that is suffering with low confidence.

India close to being out of the Test match prior to Tea on D1.

Anything under 250(working total IMO) and their will be no pressure on the English batsmen.

300 would be an excellent total on this surface for India, but barring a miracle India aren't getting anyway near that figure.

Pujara is a magnificent batsman, but he's got in 3 times and not posted a century.

Kohli might be the pin up boy of Indian cricket, but IMO he's not a Test match #4. He's more of a #5.

sharp intake of breath

I agree with Gerry.

I also think we should have got India 8 down by now... I would have loved to see Martin Bicknell bowling on this track

TBH Buzz,

Had England pitched the ball up, IMO, India would've been cleaned up for under 100.

Guys like Kumar and Binny have never played on a pitch like this before, so the runs they scored in Nottingham are almost irrelevant

Well said Gerry, but I am sure England will struggle to bat on this wicket as well.
