It will be interesting to see what Kohli has planned for Root in terms of field placement because they surely have to cut off his sweep shot.
Root is up there with the best sweepers we have had, the last reddish pitch had turn but it was slow. This one has got turn from day 1 and bounce, and the top is starting to go.
I don't want to put a downer on the forum but its going to be far more difficult I think, there are footholds already starting to mark up.
Should he get another big score here we can have a virtual pub chat about our best ever player of spin.
I'd like to see some significant contributions from some others-we are going to need it. No miracles from Lawrence expected but Burns,Stokes and the keeper and Pope.
Dont know what we can expect from Ali after so long out. He has been a good player of the turning ball.
It's been great viewing and personally I'd rather see us play in these conditions than 500 plays 600 on a flat deck.
