They're bowling pretty tight to him to be fair... he's had two full ones which he's put away for runs.
He's getting a lot on the 5th stump line and back of a length... can probably only play those drop shots that run down to 3rd man, which I think he should look to use more and rotate strike...
That will be the issue with Konstas.. he needs to be able to go up and down the gears... if he's all attack all the time he won't last long in the team.
He's trying to play the Warner role, but he still reined it in when required... Warner at his best could score a century in a session or bat...
That's one down, but got us off to a bit of a flyer which is important for a low run chase... would've liked to get the chase to below 100 before getting out though.
What will Marnus do... he really should try to play the anchor role, but I can see him trying to be like Konstas and thinking T20...
Nice... 13 runs off the first over.
Couldn't really tell if there was any swing because of how shit the bowling was, but that was Siraj's big weapon in the first innings
Prasidh might be a bit more of a seam bowler and might be the more troubling bowler today with no Bumrah.
Why is there only two slips to the number 11??
If they go a short ball barrage on a pitch that is delivery hand grenades then they are fucking kidding themselves
This pitch has been garbage... green monster on day 1 and it's somehow broken up and cracking on day 3... it was never surviving 5 days.
Pitch is meant to be an even contest between bat and ball, but this one has leaned way too heavily to the bowling side
So irritating because the Indians didn't drop anything, but in a tight game Smudge has fucked two now... and both to Jadeja.
Last time it cost about 20 odd runs to Jadeja alone... which is painful in a low scoring match
