Only Test: India v Bangladesh at Hyderabad (Deccan), Feb 9-13, 2017

[Bazal]

Jeez I thought Mehedi missed that comfortably? He didn't review but the one replay they showed seemed to show a big gap....being an Indian broadcast they won't show it again though

 

[Bazal]

Well there's a huge hole in the DRS laws....apparently you can watch replays of an umpire's referral for 3 minutes, then review a decision...

Anyway all over, result as expected really

 

[TheParraboy]

Yeah, in India the tourists getting to Day 5 is often a good effort

Yeah but we will be going for the win at all costs, so making it to day 4 will be something...

Just don't see that style working there - you have to bat huge in the first innings, get pressure on them, and go deep - lots happens late in the game, as opposed to early... patience really is important, as is winning the toss - which both you and India seem to be specialists at

Nonsense

Our tactics will be to smash Ashwin and Jadeja for 4s and 6s in their first few overs, it will demoralise them for the remainder of the test, we win easily from there

Could work - MMarsh and Maxwell batting 3 and 4?

 

[Twizzle]

So Ashwin bowls leggies now.

 

[hineyrulz]

Our toys and huge Levers will get them.

 

[Twizzle]

I doubt either of them will play.

 

[Bazal]

So Ashwin bowls leggies now.

He's always chucked in the occasional leggie but he seems to bowl a lot more now. Maybe the GOAT should start doing it...would take the number of variations he bowls from zero to one. That's an infinite increase!

I think Australia has the dubious honour of being the only side in history to make 450+ in India batting first, and losing the test. The most likely scenario is most of the tests is India racking up 500+ after winning the toss, then us getting rolled for about 100-150. Don't think we had a single century-maker in our last series there.

Usman will see them through. He's got a nice leave outside off stump and on middle stump too.

 

[Twizzle]

They did until recently. England made 477 batting first at Chennai and lost by an innings.
