  • I haven't been listening to the commentary but I suppose it's am old question of should England push for victory and increase chances of losing, or play cautiously and reduce the chance of losing but also their own chance of winning.

    The England cricket team has long been accused of being too conservative at this stage in a match.

  • so basically england have quite a healthy lead but... the difficulty is going to be getting india out on this surface (which they're used to because it's their home track). england should probably bank the lead they have, declare, and set about trying to bowl india out? and should have declared a while ago... maybe... but then they'd still only have a lead of 388, which india would probably fancy having a go at...

  • Yeah, famously this bold approach went wrong when Flintoff was captain a decade or so ago.

    Current run rate is only 2.2 which is cautious,
