It's just so fucking obvious..... When you go to India, you play two frontline spinners!
England have got it wrong and the worrying thing is, Sehwag's barely played a shot in anger. All his fours have been stroked. So so easy paced this pitch.
The only bowler with a hope would have been Finn with a bit of extra pace on the ball. And he's injured!

England missing Finn and the extra pace he would have given. On a flattie .. jimmy, broad and bresnan can become pretty samey very quickly.
These seamers need to hold an end if they continue to go at 5+ an over ... Trouble is on the horizon.
Now Sehwag takes 14 off Bresnans first 3 balls.

This isn't going terribly well is it? Both batsmen caressing the ball without any pressure and there's only been tge one half chance off Swann.
And now Sehwag has just hit a 6...

On the upside for England the pitch is flat and will remain so for England's 1st innings. Problem is India will have 500+ on the board.
But I imagine the England batsmen will make it look like a landmine against spin.

Prior missed two chances, one hard and then a stumping from Gambhir. At least it wasn't Sehwag.
Edit: never mind, he's gone! We're on the board!

India will be 350+ at stumps. If Sehwag is still there could be 400+ and he could be 200+ Pujara seems to have dashed to 50 in the blink of an eye. It's a good job the next man in doesn't have much pedigree.  |

Double bugger?
Pedigree means nowt when you're past it. One of the best ever, but everyone's time comes.
Swann has all three.

He's lost it against the quicks so he knows he has to go hard at Swanny to get his runs. The longer he stays in the side the better for England. |

Catches win matches! Cant go dropping the oppositions in form player. Since the last Ashes series Englands catching has become hugely fallible. Dare I say if they hadnt dropped Amla in the first test in the summerearly on they may still be the number 1 team in the world?

Don't think that's unfair at all FCB, there were a few others in that series too, but we have lost our long term slip cordon of Strauss and Colly in short order.
Kohli gone, 4 down and all to Swann.
Test Match Sofa now interviewing the owner of an Indian restaurant called Gaylord, which is not funny in the slightest.
