That and not capitalising after Ashwin wicket in 1st innings. They should have been bowled out around the 200 mark and that extra lead could have been decisive.Good effort today but that third innings did for them really
Hello! Suddenly 100 for 3
He has come a long way from dismissing me in club 2nd XI stuff a few years backAtleast it's an encouraging first show for Bashir.
Thqnk you kindly for boosting his confidence. Not all heroes wear capesHe has come a long way from dismissing me in club 2nd XI stuff a few years back
He got hit for 3 sixes in his first over today!Atleast it's an encouraging first show for Bashir.
England have been dire ,have been in good positions in this test series and thrown it away. Bairstow and Stokes in particular have been pants. Time to bring in the younger players in my opinion. Time for the likes of Woods and Anderson, Bairstow to make way.Should be his last test really
Outside the openers, the batsmen have really let us down this tour. Stokes and Bairstow in particular
Stokes and Bairstow might as well have stayed back in the UK. Both have been utter garbage on this tour.Pure genius, how on earth did you spot that our spin attack was way better than theirs and a complete mismatch
what a win and even better day with the Aussies losing.
Lets hope we get a perfect hatrick of a day and an easy fa cup draw now at home
Absolute garbage from England. Stokes has been abysmal, Bairstow should not be picked again. Side is too old , Woods and Anderson should be pensioned off .Can we avoid an innings defeat?
Seems highly unlikely, which is a shame as it is all we have to fight for.
Another problem is how many overs will Bashir even bowl before the summer tests with the way season is set up and will he even be needed in some of the Tests.Come the first test in the summer most of that side will be there and the only changes will be in the bowling department where the wizard is likely to return and one or both of the spinners will be out.
Depends who they loan him to but none of the wickets early season are going to be helping the spinners. I would be putting Ahmed in before him. Hopefully some of the fine spinners in the under 19’s will be ready for the next trip to India.Another problem is how many overs will Bashir even bowl before the summer tests with the way season is set up and will he even be needed in some of the Tests.
Problem remains for all these young spinners County cricket isn't set up for their development. They just won't get overs and often not even game time. Obviously not good for young batsmen either as they're not used to facing decent spin either.Depends who they loan him to but none of the wickets early season are going to be helping the spinners.

Next six tests england should win all six as the West Indies and Sri Lanka aren’t real forces.
The only solution would be an July or August block of games, spinners are nearly pointless in county cricket and allows county trundlers to take a load of wickets.Problem remains for all these young spinners County cricket isn't set up for their development.

Bears well in the lead with Durham following on after the bears got 698 for 3
It is entirely possible that Durham could lose by an innings having made over 500 in their first knock!
