Cricket on 18:34 - Jul 5 with 288 views | Trequartista | Can someone explain why we are scoring at more than four an over when we cannot possibly reach 600+ ? Surely it's best to prioritise not losing wickets of which we've lost 3 already? |  |

No, you’re right they’ll keep going for it. Hope I’m proved wrong, the pitch is good enough to bat out a draw…..we just don’t play the percentages game, do we? |  |

Bazball isn't about a draw, it's win or lose. |  | |  |

the natural game of Brook, Smith and Stokes is to hit out, they aren't the type to grind it out. Will be interesting to see their approach. When the ball softens it should become easier. |  | |  |

That’s where it’s plain daft. Realistically, we’ve got no chance of winning this test, but we could save it, even though the Indians have been the better team for large periods of this test match. |  |

Here’s a suggestion, how about bat sensibly, accumulate your runs and consider your shot selection? You aren’t scoring 500+ in a day against this Indian bowling attack and we don’t need to either, let’s not hand it to them on a plate. If you can’t win it, don’t lose it. [Post edited 5 Jul 19:52]

I’m not sure their wives and girlfriends would appreciate that. |  | |  |
