🏏 India vs England, 3rd Test-- SCA Stadium, Rajkot 🏏 - Page 101

"Apart from the margin of victory, India will draw great satisfaction from the manner in which they have neutralized Bazball... a team which was boasting of chasing 400 in a day is now down to crawling at 2 runs per over." I'm not sure this innings tells us much, Cris. They have crashed and burned a few times under Stokes but will not dwell on events

"Classic Bazball to try and end the game today, and therefore saving fans from being shortchanged on a shortened day 5." Saving the game every doggone day, Graham

India's current biggest winning margin by runs (not including innings wins) is 372. England are some 140 from getting that close...

"I'm perplexed about who's in more hurry to go to Ranchi for next test - England or India?" Umesh, England have clearly spied an opportunity to get some vital golf in tomorrow, and revitalise their chances before the fourth Test...

Ashwin becomes the first bowler to dismiss 250 left handers in Tests.

Pradeep: "Root in India - 2024 is now dangerously close to Kohli in England - 2014. "

PM: "You could argue for and against bazball all day. However reality is somewhere in the middle. It's not as good as England think and it's not as bad as Indians are saying. "

Samjay: "Reading commentary and opinion pieces on Bazball, while also reading Daniel Kahneman's behavioral economics tome 'Thinking Fast and Slow', one can't help but notice how many types of biases pervade the discussions (Hindsight Bias, Confirmation Bias, Availability Bias, Narrative fallacy, Law of Small Numbers, and on on...)."

Team India excelled in all departments in this match! A well deserved victory, glorious indeed.

Mustafai: "One of the major reasons for England's underperformance this test could be because of their travel to Abu Dhabi instead of staying here and getting accustomized with conditions here. Earlier Australia refused for a Practice Match and got beaten in the first 2 Tests but as they slowly got familiar with the conditions, they were able to defeat India. Had England stayed here, the things would have been different !!"

Manu: "@Mustafai: India took a similar fun, no-practice break after the 36-all out Test against Aus and we all know what happened since. The break was the right thing to do. But there seems to be a lack of acknowledgment from the English team that there's room for improvement. Based off their pressers, they seem to believe their losses were only because they pushed for a win, not because of technical shortcomings."

Prasanna S: "Taking no credit away from Bazball it will work against lesser quality opponents but the same tactic will fire against big 3, which is what we noticed in last Ashes and so far in this series. You can't just Bazball your way against Bumrah and Cummins every game."

Mark wood what was that???

Sahil Sharma: "@Satyam, it's not Rohit who pushed Bumrah to bowl a long spell. He bowled 4 overs, went for the tea break, came back, and as Root is at the crease, Bumrah thinks he can get Root given his past record. It's not necessary to blame Cap all the time. "
