To be honest, I feel we need at least a 120 lead to feel confident. 150 to be assured safe.

I don’t trust our guys at all on a Turner.

Pujara mostly blocks and he is a great player. But he does defend well against spin and doesn't really struggle against them
Did you see Prince though. Guess and hope where to block it.

Sure Prince may be suited more to home games or non subcontinent games. But we also have to give our players a chance and not judge them after one or two innings. I didn't manage to see Prince bat in this match but I watched him in the last home series.

Chakabva has only played 14 tests in ten years. Shows how little we play.

Sean Williams has also only played 12 tests!

Regis looks a different player today. We need him to bat deep here. Looking good

This is actually a really good pitch. Bounce for fast bowlers, spin and not impossible to bat. It's good that the pitch doesn't favour one side, the good thing of playing in a neutral venue.

The ICC doesn't help small teams, no drs :oops: :roll: although who is paying for this series? Afghanistan? Maybe ICC is funding this series.
