India would like to bat for a declaration but both batsmen are so close to milestones I think they have other ideas 8)

That seems a bit vain surely they would rather win the test?

No we have not but the series is in the balance and they will plenty more chances on pitches like this , I'm sure the curators of the first 2 pitches were taken to the jungle and trampled by elephants for dishing up pitches like that  ;D

the first 2 pitches produced 2 great tests

this is flatter than a 10 year old bottle of coke

we'll probably make it look like a minefield tomorrow though

They were great tests but India does not want pitches like that this is the type of pitch that has let them dominate all comers for years

there's no doubt about that. was funny earlier when one of the Indian commentators said "400+ runs for both first innings', bit of normality back here" or something like that

Yep makes for pretty boring cricket but that is how they win , we will be lucky to get a draw out of this now

That's very pessimistic of you, will only need to bat out the 90 overs tomorrow and on this pitch that doesn't look too difficult unless the curators swing some magic overnight. I'd say there's an 80% + chance of a draw.

This is going identically like those Ind vs Eng tests went. England score something that looks good, then India have late order resistance and score something crazy. Then England collapse in their 2nd dig.

Before this test I was thinking that's what we've done better than England did, stop India's tail scoring runs. Now as you say this is going exactly the same as one of those tests.

That rough outside of off-stump for all of our left handers against Jadeja has me very nervous.
