    Not following the match but I really hope we have lost by now.

    For next match-

    Gambhir for dhawan

    Ashwin for nohit

    Aaron for Shami

    Otherwise it will be 2-1 in favor of England.

    Hope some one among the selecting ppl have d balls to make dese changes.

    Rahul Dravid and Deep Dasgupta batted almost the entire 5th day in South Africa in 2001 to save a Test. Deep Dasgupta was an extremely mediocre player even at the first class level. If he could do it then why not Rohit, Rahane and Dhoni?

    Here's that scorecard

    If dravid was batting I would have been sure we will save the test. No one in world cricket has the amount of patience that guy had. Sadly, he isn't so unless a miracle happens I don't see this match been saved.

    Also dasgupta was a conservative batsman who could bat patiently. Nohit, Jadeja, Dhoni don't have that patience. Bhuvi can hold one end. Rahane is my only hope.

    Although it is very unlikely, I would love to see a famous english collapse here. Lets say, 120 odd allout and india chasing down a target of 370 odd runs in one and half day ;)

    Only in parallel universe that can happen. Not with this bowling attack in this universe [emoji14]

    Nice illustrations by dravid of how to play short ball. Hope team sees it and learn something.

    I don't feel Pujara is overrated. Every time he is on the crease he looks like trying to play a long innings. He has gotten some good balls in this series. He will come good soon.

    However Kohli needs to be talked to. He doesn't looks like the player he was 6 months back. Either something is wrong with his technique or his mindset. Don't know what the Fck Fletcher is doing in the team when he can't sort out such issues.

    As for Nohit less said the better.

    If they enforce follow on we should just go in ultra defensive mode. Just block everything bowled at stumps and leave everything outside.

    Won't be a smart move. All defensive will be playing into their hands. Here I miss Sehwag the most. He will tear into opening bowlers and won't let them set aggressive fields.

    If we follow on we need atleast a 150 run lead so England can't chase it in time. Batting 2 days will not be possible for our team.

    Right analogy. But the fact is they have bowled 100+ overs and cook will have to consider bowler Burnout before making the decision. If he does enforce follow on that will be a brave one.

    Dhoni will realise this and he must try to bat as long as he can to tire bowlers more.

    Too many variable today.

    If we can save follow on half the job is done.

    If we can't will cook ask us to bat again.

    If he doesn't how much England thinks will be safe for them. My bet is at least 400.

    All in all will be fun to watch.
