I've not been watching the Aus-India game, but that second innings by India is an eye-opener. Are the Aussie bowlers strugging or even over the hill now?
Also noteworthy is India batting very conventionally to get those runs, with Jaiswal batting at a very unBazball strike rate of 54.21. By contrast England warm up for the NZ series with a 2 day pub game, scoring at run a ball.
And with Cox out injured, Bethell will presumably be the replacement, someone not even playing in this pub game. A talented kid, but a red ball batsman???
Don’t think they can be over the hill after the first innings showing. Think it’s a combination of them behind undercooked and the pitch flattening
The first day pitch was very juicy though, with an unusual amount of dampness.
Still have to make the most of it though. I hope they are over the hill but I’d be surprised
