Another 100 for kohli - given a masterclass on how to play the turning ball, though be it against 2 very low quality spinners

500+ runs in the series for him already.

Yep we definately didn't need the third spinner we Carrie don the last 3 games......

You said that you never, ever need more than five bowlers.

Yep, I'd have dropped two seamers

Four unhappy seamers, I think! I'd have played Batty instead of Ball, but I wonder if he and Cook aren't seeing eye to eye.

Believe Batty was taken on this tour as England weren't sure before the tour what they were going  to get from Rashid

Getting filth served up from rashid so far. I heard the TMS commentators mention he's bowled well today - I'm sorry but the pitch is turning square with bounce and he's struggled to take 2 wickets. If he can't take wickets on this pitch then when is he going to?

Another  drop by england

I think it's fair to say that you are to Rashid what Felix is to Moen Ali... I

Currently Rashid looks tired


Dangerous for England now, 150-200 lead and we could well lose by an innings here!

20 wickets for the series, at least twice as many as any other English player. Not bad for the number 2 spinner (as Ali is first choice).

Call it how I see it.

The irony Rashid and Andersen wasted both reviews on shockers and now when he edges one and none left

20 wickets for the series, at least twice as many as any other English player. Not bad for the number 2 spinner (as Ali is first choice).

Quite a few of those 20 were numbers 10 and 11

[smilley792]

A lot of people say that "wickets don't count when it's the tail etc"


My memory may be bad, but did Warne, McGrath, muralitheran, Walsh, Akram etc all just say "oh I see the tail are in, I better not bowl at these as there beneath me, let someone else get those wickets"

3. He has number 10 or 11 out 3 time. He's also got Pujara out 3 times and Kohli twice. That's 50% of the times Kohli has been out is to Rashid. #statsarealwayswhatyouwanttomakethem

Rashid might've got Kohli twice thus far, but the Indian skipper has plunderer 500 odd runs, so safe to assume he's got Rashid's number...

[Felix Tito]

Whilst I think Rashid's bowled better than his figures suggest in this match, off his 20 wickets how many did he genuinely 'get the batsmen out' and how many where gifted by India?
