India run rate 3.89 and 5.14

England run rate 4.55 and 3.98

It seems to me that India was more moral, and for longer.

Good win by the Aussies and well deserved MOM to Carey who saved us both innings. Special mention to Webster and the bowlers. 4-11 we look awesome. 1-3 very ordinary

Deep was excellent. And Bumrah back for Lords.
I think I know who’s going into this next Test warm favourites …

The innings in the second dig by the number 3 was super important.

Hopefully that helps get him confident and he can be number three for the home summer.

It’s been refreshing to see us steamroll through a team in the 4th innings this series.

What’s this about a slope?

Its just a morally wrong rumour going 'round about a cricket pitch somewhere in NW London.

Well done to India. Just completely dominated us for 5 days

We badly need to get some bowlers back from injury

Don’t worry Lawry won’t give Green any credit despite him being our second highest run scorer for the match.

Also surprised he hasn’t called for the coach to be sacked after he successfully overseen another series victory.

4217

Yes Green did play well and much better; but I’d like to see that on a more consistent basis. You know my view on Ronny

Who would be your first choice bowling attack if all were fit?

4219

I would go with

Atkinson
Archer
Wood
Carse

Root can bowl spin if required

Well the sans Bumrah PUMP MERCHANT attack managed to take 20 wickets after all.

I never called them pump merchants? There is some big talent in the bowling unit

Their attack was fantastic all game. The bowled the right lines and lengths and didn’t give anything away

You didn’t, no. They came under criticism for resting Bumrah and picking more all-rounders and people questioned whether they could take 20 wickets with that bowling line-up but ultimately they did.

I feel for England. Terrible dilemma coming up. Do they need a Bazzball pitch more or less than Gill needs a Bazzball pitch ?
