Thought Rashid bowled well in the first game, looks like hes back bowling filth. India have done well to take the spinners on this match.
100s up for both pujara and kohli

Getting desperate when you start appealing for LBW when it comes straight off the middle

OH JIMMY JIMMY!

yes Jimmy......

right into the tail now

This Kohli worship is getting on my tits. Rashid tosses one up and Kolhi has a big swipe and gets a thick edge and catchable height through point. Could of gone anywhere. All I hear is Kohli played that cleverly,  broke the wrists on it etc etc. Total bs.

Maybe Rashid should keep giving it air and do them in the flight like most normal spinners might when it's not turning much (apart from the one that ripped just now).

At last someone agrees with me. Let's be honest.. It's another slow flat track with occasional ball keeping low where if your height is 5ft 1 then it's easy enough to jab ur bat down on it.
He is an excellent player of spin and at times looks majestic but he has an ego where he really thinks he can play the short ball. Against NZ and here against England I would say he has NOT been in control of the majority of short balls.
His record in England and on seaming wickets need to improve dramatically before I would class him as a top test player.
Before the abuse starts.. Lol

He is one of the best one day players I have seen when chasing a total since  GOD. (Neil Harvey Fairbrother) and that Bevan bloke in " canary yellow "

I prefer Pujara and Rahane

For me you have to completely split Kohli the ODI batsman and Kohli the Test match batsman they don't compare to each other at all.

IMHO - Pujura is their best batter easily

Only seen Pujura in these last 2 home series and he really seems to have a problem with the short ball but the way he plays spin is right up there with vv laxman...

For me Kohli is fine on spinning / flat wickets. As soon as you get any movement around off stump he's struggling. I'm sure he'll crack it eventually but he'll struggle in england/nz/sa in particular.

About time they take the new ball. The spinners haven't looked a threat at all or kept it tight

Proved it with the last couple of balls pitching and moving could have been caught

[csnew]
