India have suffered some( mainly )minor injuries and have been knocked about for 544 runs and i suspect that will be added to this morning, I don't think they are fully commited and have had the stuffing knocked out of them at 2-1 down in the series, i imagined a draw yesterday but their reaction says that England are knocking on an open door.Losing Bashir to injury may well be a blessing in disguise as Dawson brings more of everything to the table.It must be remembered that this is a dress rehearsal for the Ashes away in the winter.
England v India cricket.

I think that always feels like us when we go down under
It is nice to see another team under the cosh. Their fielding really fell apart in the afternoon and looked comical,Gill made a few elementary mistakes all down to pressure.

I’d love that to be true, but we’ll see how baz ball copes when the going gets tough when we struggle to get 250 because we can’t handle their pace on the hard pitches

Indeed. There isn't a tone I can't lower.

I think we have the batting to succeed down under this winter.
It's about the bowling and having the pace bowlers fit.....A lot of focus seems to be on Wood and Archer and it's a gamble.....That said, Australia's attack are also a bit long in the tooth.
Atkinson though should be fit and overall I think we have a good chance this time around.

Would still like to see room for Bethel in the line up.

Same, but Zak Crawley is obviously banging some Key relation so it doesn't look like soon, until there's an injury.

If he goes at it with the same determination as his batting he must be a two-stroke merchant. He not used to staying in too long. Tone lowered again. Apologies.

Seems so. Is there some sort of school they all go to?
