There is a time and place for this. 2nd innings last time no, but that begged for it!

So they have 20-25 to play with and India offer up free singles to long off?

Head did his time, then he launched an attack, line and length went out the window and the runs flowed, as good as beer flowing from the bar tap!

Lol very good point

Winning batting last on this ■■■■ tip is some result. Not best in two decades as June would have you think, buts pretty bloody good.

I’m just gonna close my eyes and imagine it’s the 2nd test in the series and we’ve been there preparing for 3 weeks…. Not a pseudo dead rubber when the trophy and chance of an era defining legacy tour has already been squandered.

Last year I was in India for work. I had to drive from Kerala to Coimbatore which last year, should have taken 5 hours (according to Google Maps) and nowadays can be done in just over 4 hours. My driver decided he wanted to get home early that day, so drove it in 3 flat.

I wouldn’t recommend it.

Damn, wanted to see the winning runs hit off an Ashwin ball, looking a complete sour puss.

To prepare for next Indian series, I propose lead in matches on a gravel road somewhere back of Bourke.

How does that really help India though?

If they draw or lose then they are relying on other results to qualify for the WTC.

I mean, when it’s needing New Zealand to not lose 2-0 at home, I’m sure they’ll be fine anyway but yeah they should be intent on winning the final test. And they usually feel their best chance of winning tests is on dust bowls. Don’t think this result reverses that thinking surely.
