Lets get real here despite the umpring England have been outplayed. Batting was very poor indeed.
I will say though that given we are in technological age of remote working why the third umpire duties can't be moved to a studio outside India where you have neutral guys taking all the time they...
Stokes a sitting duck. At least try and attack the spinners. If stay on the back foot against the quality of the Indian spinners you will eventually get out.
At least England will get to bowl under lights. Anderson time.
I wouldn't do the Archer for Broad move. Archer did not bowl that well but he does offer something different. If you want to replace Archer bring Wood in. I agree about Jimmy though, he must play the next test and then perhaps a breather in the 3rd.
Fear factor in my eyes. The previous test here against England and what India did in Australia are playing on their minds. India are more than capable of scoring at 4 runs an over and if a big partnership develops they could be in a position to give it go at Tea.
Think South Africa have a chance if they stick to playing positively, anything is possible. And an amazing feat by that debutant. 4th innings double century. Remember the name Kyle Mayers.
