They've scrapped the 2.5m rule as far as I'm aware.

Conspiracy Kashy by BCCI

Facty having a go at practically every poster... at least have a split of 50/50 between talking about posters vs discussing the cricket... try 25/75 even

I'm sorry for the pitch issues you have in New-Zealand Kashy.. Unfortunately BCCI is the usual suspect.. We have best wishes for you & your team mate

A14.. Me n Kashy enjoy little banter unlike you who called Virat a nasty term here.. Virat and we Indian fans have respect for your team!

This is the Test against spin.. England have shown in the past 2/3 years they can't handle scoreboard pressure and spin... toss absolutely vital in these conditions

You call that banter?

Also ur buddy is obsessed about my location. May be you can help him Plz don't ignore his requests and try to help him when he goes out of line.

Cheers!

A14.. Should I bring ur comments about Virat here? I know you are upset with ur team's performance but just chill out mate.. -

IMO, England will be getting all out at some point tomorrow. We should not look to enforce the follow on. Bat again and put more pressure.

Agree Viru - pitch will get worse. If we do get a choice, bat again and put England in on a day 4\5 wicket. It wont be easy batting then.

No point putting pressure on us to bat in those conditions

wonder if any England players will go home after this test?

If we get them out for under 200, I'd be keen to enforce the follow on. We'd have 250 runs still to play with. I just think it will be tough to get Root and Cook out cheaply. They'll grind it out. Even if we were to bat again on the last day, I doubt we'd be chasing very much.

😂😂😂😂

Lefty appears and posts go missing

Serial - you've posted 3 times today all about other posters and not about the game.

Yes - I asked for your comment to be deleted. You are just trying to ruin thread as usual.

Stick to cricket, and worry less about random usernames on the internet

MMmm not sure, If we end up having to chase 150+ on day 5, would you be comfortable?

Rather England bat on that surface than us

Hypocrite 🐍🐍🐍🐍

just have a look at your posting history today

England could still get 250-300 plus.

I don't see this test ending in a draw. All it takes is for India to have a collapse and its game on

There is no point in putting our tired bowlers back on the field and give the likes of cook and root an upper edge. if India bat again they will just aim to score runs and not block. So we will still have plenty of time to pick the wickets. There is also a mental game to be won here.

The pitch is still good to bat on. A few odd balls staying low, but in terms of turn, it's still pretty good.

Tbf the pitch did not do too much today - it was mostly the England batsmen playing poor shots such as Root or the mix up with Hameed that resulted in their loss of wickets. Duckett and Cook did get two peaches though.

However all in all a decent day for us and one that forms the basis for us to go on and win the test. As for when we get them all out, personally I would go in and have a bat - no follow on. Get their bowlers tired again and give ours a break plus this pitch is definitely going to break up. Better to bat earlier than risk a fifth day chase.
