00:00are willing to stare them in the eye and go okay you're only human you know you can only bowl
00:04one
00:05ball at a time you know you can make mistakes you know and if you've got a positive mindset and
00:10and a mindset that you're willing to have a go you just never know and that was all we try
00:14to
00:14do as a team we said look if it gets confrontational it can't be just one of us that goes
00:18back everyone
00:19has to go back big thing for me was 2004 you know we'd built up a team that was just
00:25starting to
00:25play some positive cricket you know cricket that was you know you know for the fans good to watch
00:30it was risky but it was good to watch we'd played a summer of 2004 won every single test match
00:35and
00:36then the champions trophy arrived and i always remember at the start of the champions trophy
00:39i just said look we want to play the aussies you know it's our first time as a younger team
00:43that
00:43we want to play them and we managed to play them in the semi-final and we beat them at
00:47edgbaston and
00:48it was a big big moment for the team because there was confrontation in that game and the team kind
00:52of
00:52looked back at australia and went we'll take you on and i i thought that was a real big moment
00:58before
00:5905 that the youngest set of players and the likes of andrew strauss within there triscothic myself
01:04flintoff harmison ashley giles you know players that had had you know not a great deal of experience
01:10against australia that was their first look at them and to go out and beat them even though it was
01:14one day cricket it was a real big key mental kind of moment for our team to know that if
01:19we go toe
01:20to toe play aggressively you just never know you can you can you can take anyone on if you're willing
01:24to take that kind of mindset out into the middle and that was a big moment for the team and
01:28then
01:28of course at lords that first morning when justin langer was hit on the elbow and uh ricky
01:34ponting had his cheek cut open by harmison it was just on wasn't it like it was as if they
01:40were
01:40revved up your attack to know that this was their moment wasn't it yeah i mean and and i look
01:45back
01:45and we were probably a little bit too revved up you know we we were you know like at times
01:50bowling
01:51100 miles an hour our minds were working at 100 miles an hour the movement in the field was at
01:55100 miles an hour and we probably could have breathed a little bit but you know i always feel with
02:00lords
02:00that you know we got hammered you know if you actually look at this the score at the end of
02:04the
02:04game we got beaten badly but there was one real big key for me that generally in the last you
02:10know if
02:11you go back to 1989 you know the ashes series the australians in the first test generally come out
02:16and three or four of them big hundreds you know england when you get battered in the first game we
02:21did but there wasn't 100 by an australian individual you know we got 20 wickets so in the back of
02:27my mind
02:27i thought wait a minute we we've got 20 wickets but i was so disappointed with the batsmen because
02:32leading into that series all the talk was and and the only psychologies that that we used was you know
02:39make sure that you're just facing the ball not the name never ever face shane warne you can't because
02:44he's too good he'll blow you away with his mentality just face the leg spinner and don't face glenn mcgrath
02:50just face 84 miles an hour scene bowling and that was all our psychology and on that first test match
02:56at laws we did face glenn mcgrath we did face shame one you could see it in the players i
02:59saw it in the
03:00dressing room that we all froze a little bit and we all got a little bit starstruck in that first
03:04game
03:04and then you got to edge baston of course you're milling around before the game glenn mcgrath
03:09goes over and ricky ponning wins the toss and elects to bowl now what did you see that morning
03:17well i saw a decent pitch would you have batted absolutely it was the only way you could beat
03:23that team and there's no way that you know trying to take on shane warne bowling last was was ever
03:29going
03:29to work um two big moments i mean you look at that series in in 2005 and there's so many
03:38kind of facets to it that you look at and i look at it as a captaincy perspective and people
03:43say oh
03:43you know you did such a good job managing the players and the tactical now set you brought to
03:47the field but you need look you know glenn mcgrath getting stretched off that's a huge element of
03:52look can you remember the moment like did you sort of turn around and say what's that i've never i've
03:57never
03:57seen an england side in a team huddle giving so many low fives i've never seen a happier trus gothic
04:04really it was almost if trus gothic had had 25 big mats delivered on his doorstep he just felt a
04:11huge
04:11sigh of relief that mcgrath was going off and you know people say oh you you want to play against
04:16of
04:16course you do but you know when you're one nil down you know you've got to win the second test
04:20and glenn
04:20mcgrath's being stretched off and then you got to toss up and all the players in the dressing
04:23and going to skip you're going to have to win this one we've got a bat first and then ricky
04:27wins it
04:27and said oh we'll have a ball i've never grabbed a captain's hand as quick in all my time really
04:32and
04:33then we went out and played in in such an aggressive fashion i mean yeah that's a to the players
04:38you've
04:38got to be really aggressive particularly against warne you know try and take him on but i didn't
04:42think we were going to score 480 overs on day one it was extraordinary wasn't it yeah i always remember
04:46i see the rain so the aussies couldn't have their seven or eight overs batting and i remember being in
04:51the car park afterwards and i'm happy 400 on the day you know we're in the test match and i'm
04:56trying
04:56to get in in my car and jeffrey boycott walks by and he just looks at me goes ah entertaining
05:00stuff
05:01that skipper but you won't win test matches batting like that i really always remember yeah and on the
05:07sunday morning when the aussies were getting close you know it's getting to 40 and getting to 30 and
05:10i'm thinking oh my god we're going to lose this game all i could think about was boycs's comment i
05:15think
05:15please win this game so i could at least go up to boycs and say well you can win cricket
05:19matches batting like that
05:20let's go back to that last day as the countdown was on brett lee and michael kasper vitz at the
05:26end
05:26it was getting down down down a couple of runs away and and they still talk about it when you
05:32had a
05:32sweeper on the fence uh the cover fence and and lee swatted through and and and it was just anywhere
05:38beyond 10 meters either side it was the game over australia 2-0 up extraordinary isn't it yeah what were
05:44you thinking in those last few overs oh you're thinking you've lost really yeah you're thinking you lost
05:49because just the the whole momentum had shifted and and freddie flint offered a bowl incredible
05:55and brett lee had been hit you know all over his chest on his hand you know the odd ball
06:00was flying
06:00down the leg side it was hitting the footholds and then bouncing over the keeper something it's
06:04just not meant to be and then simon jones had dropped the catch down at third man and my philosophy
06:09was
06:10with the sweepers out particularly to brett lee was i just needed as many balls as i possibly could you
06:15just needed and if it was an extra three or four balls by having sweepers out it was worth it
06:19because
06:19we only needed one delivery or one mistake um you know that's the fine margins you know two meters
06:26either side and we lose the test match it's two nil and i will say if australia go two nil
06:31up at that
06:32stage it possibly would have been a whitewash you know the team wouldn't have come back from two nil down
06:37now the only reason that we we gathered momentum is that we won a game and we won that second
06:42test
06:42match and you could just see the relief in the dressing but you could also see not only relief
06:47but a huge amount of confidence you know you look at the performance of andrew flintoff in that game
06:52you look at the performance of andrew flintoff at lords you know and he would be the first to admit
06:56that he didn't play well and he he's spoken a lot about it since saying he froze a little bit
07:02in that
07:03first game so that second test match was so important that our talisman our star player suddenly
07:08arrived a couple of fifties and he bowled that over against justin langer in the second innings
07:13and then you get ricky pont in and i think ricky's described it as the greatest four balls that he'd
07:17ever face and you know it was so important for us as a team that he found confidence and it
07:22was that
07:22game at edgbaston that he did so and of course you you went to um old trafford where australia escaped
07:28with the draw nine wickets down it was just so close you could almost smell it couldn't you and uh
07:35what was your reaction to that um well that was our best performance we played great at old trafford
07:42but the big thing for me was seeing australia celebrate a draw yeah on the balcony yeah i'd
07:47never seen that and that's and you said that to your team yeah absolutely i mean you know i think
07:52sometimes it's very instinctive i didn't plan that i never planned anything really in in leadership when
07:58i was out there in the middle i just kind of went with the flow and tried to react looking
08:01on that
08:02balcony and seeing the more celebrated draw you know i just felt it was worth the team didn't
08:06listen you know you got the group and they didn't listen but i just felt it was worth saying to
08:09look
08:09just have a look i never thought i'd see australia celebrate a draw we play again like this you know
08:14we'll win this series then of course uh it was just epic wasn't it the oval the last day no
08:19one knew
08:20who was going to win the ashes even at lunch you know where the ash is going and so i
08:24can only imagine
08:25what your thoughts were well i i remember the the worst thing about that last day is arriving and we
08:30were one wicked down and i'm not out so i'm a bit nervous about going out to bat and then
08:34all the
08:34papers you know the ecb had announced that there's going to be a bus ride around london the next day
08:39not even won the ashes yet so you imagine the aussies they're looking at the paper seeing all these
08:43headlines the biggest motivation that you could give a great side and you know that was a great day
08:49because it just ebbed and flowed and you know we we panicked a bit in the morning mcgrath bulb
08:54great one he just produced magic throughout the whole series he you know he got 40 wickets how
09:00you end up on a losing side having got 40 wickets i'll never know but and then kevin peterson that
09:05that spell of bowling before lunch by brett lee where he got peppered you know and he he could have
09:10been and should have been probably at any ball and it's the first time in kevin's career that i've
09:15actually seen fear you know i never thought now in the dressing room i always remember at lunch and he
09:19he was fearful because he wasn't scared of getting hurt but i think he was fearful of
09:24the way to play yeah and he always remember he said skip can have a word and i was like
09:29well this
09:29this could be this could be dangerous don't know what he wants and he said how do i play i
09:33says mate
09:34just attack just go out and attack i said we haven't played four test matches nearly towards the end of
09:40the fifth and you know we've been aggressive all series there's no way we're stopping now just go out
09:44and have half an hour of fun and see where it takes if we get half an hour of fun
09:48from you
09:48i think the ashes will be our so go and take them on i think our first over after lunch
09:52he played
09:53about six hook shots the ball was flying everywhere i was like well steady on yeah try and play a
09:58few
09:58with a straight back will you uh but that was uh that was great for for our crew it was
10:02great it was
10:03great for test cricket you know it really was to to see a series what about the celebrations like
10:07there was they seem to go on forever that the open top bus and that what when you when you
10:12think of
10:12them what what's your some of your memories of the celebration it was great but it was over the top
10:17yeah i'll be the first to admit that but you're not going to refuse a you know we we didn't
10:22know
10:22it was going to be as big as that you know we we were a bit nervous actually when you
10:26know we said
10:27oh there's going to be a bush ride around london you're going to go to trafalgar square i remember
10:30sitting in the dressing room afterwards actually we did have a few psychological like little slogans on
10:37the wall it was you know you played the ball not the name and i always remember sitting with freddie
10:41we're having a bud and all the aussies came in and one by one you know you had mcgrath strolled
10:46in
10:46brett lee sean tate came in and damian martin strolled in langer hayden ricky ponton the captain
10:51strolled in i remember looking at these slogans and then the great shame one walks through the door
10:55i was warning walks through the door freddie flintoff just swigs his beard just looks at me
10:58he goes effing hell skip they're a bloody good team aren't they so the aura was back oh yeah well
11:05we kind of conned the players into believing that you can beat them you know it was a bit of
11:09a conning at but
11:09you know that day the day after was you know it was it was bizarre we didn't understand because
11:16you kind of keep yourself in a bubble when you're in a series like that you have to because if
11:19you
11:19read everything and you listen to everything you're going to get lost you know to get on that bus and
11:24see thousands and thousands i mean it was i think and clearly they were celebrating the england team
11:30winning but i think it was a celebration that two teams had just gone head to toe we'd won four
11:35tosses
11:36that was massive winning the toss batting first um and it proved to me actually how great a team
11:41the australian side were because we couldn't played any better we've played beyond our expectations
11:47yet we only beat them 2-1 well michael i think your career has enriched the game in so many
11:52ways as a
11:53player and as a personality and we've loved having you on cricket legends well played cheers crash cheers
12:24that is massive huge enormous
12:28gigantic six more he's a freak he's absolutely pumped as he should be that's huge that is a thing of

13:47of hearing about it
13:58this program brought to you by harvey norman everything you need in electrical technology
14:04furniture and bedding
14:19post-lunch play on day two of this fourth pay tm test match india versus england we're coming to you
14:28from this
14:28narendra modi stadium in amdavad where england have clawed their way back into this test match in some
14:35style just 205 we all thought that was below power that made it look much better
14:42by taking three indian wickets for just 56 in 25.5 oh joy charmar still in
14:48just 32 from 106 balls but india lost three wickets today
14:55this was yesterday in the little time there was anderson trapping him leg before in front of the
15:00stumps then today pujara struggling a little bit against leach
15:07and then a magnificent spell of bowling by uh stokes well nine to ten overs in the searing heat
15:12picked up the big wicket of iraq koly and right on the stroke of lunch in fact the point at
15:17which
15:17lunch was taken jimmy anderson was 900th wicket across all formats
15:29and so here we are just one ball to bowl for anderson before he finishes that over
15:35rishabh punks will come out to with the rohi charma
15:44he's better for a long time rohi charma he's got a part new partner now in rishabh punks
15:50alongside me ajit agarkar and murli karthik who made the journey out
15:54during the break to take a look at the surface came back a bit excited
16:02good afternoon harsha good afternoon ajit good afternoon all yeah excitement is always there in
16:07the air sitting alongside you two gentlemen that's why i was excited that i'm going to do the post-lunch
16:14session with two in the company of august men you're terrible at dishing out nonsense
16:21tell us what you saw at the pitch car thing it's enough talking up your colleagues
16:27now serious no it's a hard wicket definitely it's a hard wicket still it's hard but yep it is going
16:33and we've seen uh possibly from session three yesterday the ball has started spinning a bit more
16:45and i'm pretty sure that from one end we've seen jack leach the amount of appreciable turn he's got
16:52so it's definitely something for there for the spinners and also for the seamers as well the bounce
16:57and the carry which has been consistent right through so far
17:02as a partnership of 39 between ajinka rahane and rohit sharma dominated by rahane mid 27 but he's gone
17:09here's anderson last ball of the 38th over
17:16and another maiden over it's 80 for four
17:2312 overs nine maidens two for seven jimmy anderson wow
17:29anderson wow
17:42anderson wow
17:48anderson wow
17:50anderson wow
18:08india 125 runs behind but just six wickets in hand
18:13the morning session saw them go from 24 for one to 80 for four
18:19like a dombass trio was before lunch for 14
18:33slip and a short leg is what joe roots given him then there's two fielders out on the boundary
18:40oh yeah
18:41it's one a deep mid-wicket one a deep square england picked up a wicket
18:45fifth ball of the last over before lunch
18:50again he walked on it throughout that short little spell before lunch
18:55just got it to go away rahane stuck on the crease poked at it
19:00it's been incredible spell of bowling since this morning
19:04and yesterday from jimmy anderson and it's not a surprise every time there is any movement
19:11available he is going to trouble but the batsman
19:16it's not a bad catch by someone who's had a lot of bowling to do on a hot day so
19:21it's been center stage as well as ben stokes just seemed like he was getting seizing the initiative
19:28back that partnership
19:34there's an interesting word you used to cut on the crease and that is something which we've seen
19:38right from the australian tour with ajinkira honey with mitchell stark pat cummins every time he's
19:44struggling he seems to be stuck right there where you mentioned around the crease area
19:52yeah and at 27 you'd think that he's has got his eye in even though he's facing
19:59special bowler he won't be happy with the way he's gotten out
20:04was a partnership building in another failure for him in this series
20:14uh beats everybody there should be enough on that ball to go away to the boundary
20:26yeah england won't be happy because what they've done today is not given anything to india and in the
20:32process i've got three wickets and from best what you want is not only control and not only wickets but
20:39also control and also some consistency in where he wants to land the ball and that is something
20:45which has suddenly gone missing post four for 55 at chennai was a tough one for folks that one
20:52because he had no idea how much he was turning there was the white figure of roi charma in front
20:57of him
21:11and that is the only in his spell right now but yeah and would want that control from him as
21:15well
21:18there is enough help from the end that he's bowling bowling from the adani end
21:26a lot rougher the pitch on this side
21:30and that was one of the reasons why england opted to leave him out yes he's very inexperienced
21:36struggled a little bit with his control in that second innings of the first test
21:39coming around they need that right now
21:46six seven eight nine india have three left-hander so he's got a role to play here base
22:0185 for four
22:38so
22:39So Gil for a duck, Kohli for a duck.
22:41It's only the second time in his career that Virat Kohli's got two ducks in a series.
22:46Kujara 17, Rahane 27.
22:49Gola is now will be on Rohit Sharma.
22:54They're trailed by 120.
23:00Well, the magnificent last over, which he got the wicket of Rahane.
23:05Now to Rohit Sharma.
23:08Because he gets the ball to move both ways without any discernible change.
23:12It becomes so difficult to play.
23:14Yeah, it started with that one, actually.
23:17The full ball which swung away.
23:19And one coming in.
23:22It's just the control that he has.
23:24Even that swung late and everything swinging late.
23:27From his hand because the seam comes down so straight.
23:29And this one, perhaps a little bit shorter in length.
23:33So it moved away after pitching more than in the air.
23:38Rane caught in no-man's land.
23:45First time he's bowled from this end.
23:48There seems to be a little bit more pace bowling from this end.
23:56And it's always wonderful to watch such skillful bowlers at work, isn't it?
24:00What they're trying to do.
24:02Just the way they set batsmen up.
24:05Just executing those supreme skills which they possess.
24:10And Jimmy Anderson right up there.
24:17You hardly ever see a fastball of a career this long.
24:21And as he gets older, he's actually starting to bowl better in areas, in places he hadn't bowled that well
24:26before.
24:27It's time to wonder.
24:28I mean, obviously there'll be enormous discipline, great skill, all those things are for granted.
24:33Great awareness of his body, fitness.
24:35But has the action got to do with it as well?
24:37Simple, repeatable?
24:40I'm sure it's changed over the years.
24:42The more he's got an experience.
24:44You can see when he first came on.
24:47It has to be repetitive.
24:49Keep doing that.
24:50To have that kind of control.
24:52That comes with experience.
24:54I think he's got plenty of it.
24:56160 test matches, like you said.
24:59What a fastballer to play that long.
25:04Doesn't matter what conditions you play in.
25:06To run in day in, day out.
25:08To bowl as many overs he has.
25:10Even in this game, he's already in his 13th over.
25:16That tells the story, really.
25:19900.
25:21Shane Warne just added the one extra of 1,000 for Shagun.
25:261,001.
25:29Only 1,347.
25:32I mean, you never say never, but I don't think anyone's getting there.
25:38Don't think anyone's getting to 800 test wickets either.
25:41Unless Jimmy just keeps going on and on until he's 54.
25:46Also with Muralitharan, the number of five-wicket hauls he has.
25:50Just look at that.
25:5177 five-wicket hauls, out of which I think 66 were in.
25:55Test match cricket.
25:57And 10 wicket hauls.
25:58Look at that.
25:58People don't have that many five-wicket hauls.
26:00The number of 10-wicket hauls he has in games.
26:03And if you finish with 77 wickets in your test career, you've been a good bowler.
26:06He's got 77 five-wicket hauls.
26:20Good ball.
26:21Just wobbling all the time from Anderson.
26:2485 for four.
26:33No.
26:52He's got 77 five-wicket.
27:00The spinners were meant to do all the bowling, or so we thought, the two fast bowlers played
27:05have bowled 25 overs already.
27:15Yeah not surprised Arsha really, you look at that pitch, red soil, generally has a little
27:20bit of help for Seamus.
27:21This one has a bit more grass than the previous test match, the only thing that surprised
27:29me a little bit is there's not been any reverse swing on offer, whatever swing there has been
27:34has been conventional swing, but there's enough help in it to keep the fast bowler interested.
27:44Begs a question though, this surface hasn't done anything alarming the surface, and yet,
27:53two international sides, 290 for 14, are we talking about batting standards going down, are we talking
28:00bowlers doing even better, or is there just something in that surface that's causing apprehension?
28:05I think you just go back to the last game, 21 out of 30 wickets were straight deliveries,
28:10and both captains, or especially the Indian captain did say that he wasn't happy with the
28:15way both teams batted, and it was all up to the way the batsmen shore up on such surfaces.
28:22As you use the word, nothing alarming which has happened, it's not gone down, it's not gone up,
28:26there is consistent bounce, even if it spins, it has spin very, it has spun really consistently.
28:33So, it's about your batting technique and your application there, isn't it?
28:38Or do you have demons in your head that something is going to happen, and you end up getting out
28:42to something different?
28:49It almost seems old-fashioned test cricket, isn't it? People like to score quickly.
28:55This game, like Karthik said, need a bit more application.
29:02There is a ball every now and then that does spin a bit more.
29:06There is still a decent pitch to get runs on.
29:15Another full toss, and that's been put away, and that's been Donbass' problem.
29:21It's been a big problem for Donbass, and it continues to be.
29:30Right, he's only in his fifth over here, Bess.
29:34He's got a couple of full tosses already that have gone for four.
29:37One that drifted down leg side for four byes.
29:42Lots of drag downs, and Harshanai is a finger spinner.
29:47It's not about the number of overs you bowl sometimes, it's your settling in period is done.
29:52It's maximum one or two overs.
29:55And also coming back to what Ajit was saying, I just want to add very quickly that,
29:59as a spinner, we were just blessed that we played at a time where lots of batsmen
30:03would kill you with their defence. You couldn't breach their defence.
30:06And as a spinner, if you sense even a little bit of susceptibility with defence,
30:12and that's where we thrive on. And that's what's happening.
30:15If you can't trust your defence, a spinner is going to run all over you.
30:21And that's what's happening. Batsmen aren't trusting their defence enough.
30:27Very important he bowls a good spell here though, because
30:30fast bowlers have already done a lot of bowling.
30:33So Leach will come in at some point, but the spinners will have to bowl a lot from now on.
30:38It's important that he bowls a good spell here.
30:43Four and over so far.
31:03Four and five came off the OS 90 for four.
31:07Four and five came off the OS 90 for four.
31:17Five, five, six now, five, six now, boys!
31:20Five, five, six now, boys!
31:40A hundred and fifteen behind. Both teams lost three wickets very early.
31:44India lost their third at 41. England lost their third at 30.
31:59It's been a big ask of his senior bowlers.
32:02It's been a big ask of his senior bowlers.
32:08It's been a big ask of his senior bowlers.
32:14It's been a big ask of his senior bowlers.
32:16Bradrisha Pandit, number six for India.
32:18Just played three balls so far.
32:23India need a couple of half-century partnerships here.
32:25Karthik makes a very interesting point about defence and how
32:28sometimes as a spin bowler we've been watching cricket over the years you just
32:31look at someone and say his defense is solid looks impregnable who in your
32:36opinion had impregnable defenses you just thought you can't get through this
32:40person on a good pick in India hands down Rahul Dravid and the reason why I
32:46say that is today just a classic example being Chiteshwar Pujara and how he was
32:50dismissed and how he's been dismissed Rahul was one person who always
32:55defended well in front of his pads which meant that you had to be very very good
33:00to beat him on the inside or the outside even if you beat him on the outside and
33:05got an edge because his bat was so far ahead the distance between slips and the
33:10bat the ball didn't carry and never got bad bad and just trusting the way he went
33:16towards the ball and the way he rode those hands very softly he was just so
33:22tough and if you give him a good wicket then I think I can write 50 overs to my
33:27name
33:33or produces the edge will produce a boundary
33:38the cover that went past the edge now one actually gets it and sneaks through the
33:42gap and you could see that happening though after the first couple of balls
33:47just touch fuller on that occasion
33:55doesn't bounce as much as the previous couple once played it well though soft hands
34:02and it's gone along the ground this is a good contest though
34:07you might want to see that well catch up
34:08and it's been a good contest though
34:08and it's been a good contest though
34:09and it's been a good contest though
34:23since you talked about defense interesting that in that now famous letter that Rahul
34:27Dravid wrote to Kevin Peterson on how to play spin he said batting the nets without pads
34:33yeah exactly my point so which means that you have to play with your bat which means that if
34:38you're trying to protect your legs you have to be well in front of those legs because as a spinner
34:44you're trying to beat a batsman on both sides of the edge in the inside edge and the outside edge
34:50and the kind of things which spinners do try you're always playing with those kind of lines
34:58lengths and angles isn't it and all the more the reason what rahul said and why rahul was so good
35:05comes out to the fore just again just if you look at it from side on this is front on
35:13just where his
35:14bat is which means that if the ball hurries on his bat is always behind the pad and look at
35:21it
35:21with rahul that those that bat would have been well ahead of the pads in fact ahead of the tip
35:26of the
35:26shoe which means you are have to be very good to beat him which means that he knows where the
35:32ball's
35:32coming where the ball's spinning
35:39four came of that outside edge in that over 94 for four
36:24three and a Studien ball here and it has the surface where the ball is trying to run vielä the
36:26ball
36:26So, let's try to go.
36:47best will continue three boundaries for India since lunch drag that down as well and he's got
36:55supporting the deep so he'll keep it down to a single and just coming back to what we were
37:06talking about look at where Pujara's hands are they're behind the pad which means that as a
37:12spinner if you beat him with pace it's always going to hit the pad first and the point I was
37:17trying to make was with Rahul yes the stride might have been slightly smaller but the bat is well
37:23ahead of the shoe and in that as a bowler you have to have a lot of pace and nip
37:33off your bowling if
37:34it gets the edge that it carries to slip since bat and pad aren't close together the bad pads don't
37:40go it might only be an inside edge which generally doesn't end up going that quickly to a to a
37:46fielder
37:46and also you're protecting your pads you don't get hit on the pads
37:51and on good wickets where it doesn't spin off the straight which is what you're trying to do
37:56imagine getting Rahul Dravid out
38:01another batsman which comes to my mind domestic cricket was Abhijit Khali was brilliant again
38:06very good player of spin the way he played very different slightly different but again I thought
38:11tough to bowl to for most spinners
38:19he had a wonderful start to his career and drifted away a little bit Abhijit Khali
38:26at the moment though India need British opponents to play that kind of innings five of twelve which
38:31are much holding one end up 38 striker of just 31
38:38so around this time that England was starting to string together those 40-45 run partnerships India
38:43wouldn't mind a couple of those
38:59also if you look at the techniques those have also changed for batsmen isn't it in an era where you
39:05could tuck your bat behind the pad you won't be given out but post DRS and post when Shane
39:11Warren used to get those wickets getting the ball hitting the pads and hitting going straight on I think the
39:16umpires have also started giving those decisions so the batting
39:19techniques have also had to change and evolve
39:22you still remember the coinage patterns when Jimmy Adams just kept padding away the Indian spinners because you could do
39:29that you could get away with it now you can't it's pretty well documented that post DRS the percentage of
39:34LBWs has gone up dramatically
39:39not too far from the stump he's found space
39:44two of the over 96 for now India
39:48BAIR
39:50BAIR
39:50HAIR
39:57Good boy, good boy.
40:25England won the toss, it was a good surface to win the toss on and bat first 205, now
40:31the bowlers are doing a magnificent job.
40:34The one little quibble if you want to have one at all with England's bowling is the over
40:38it's been, right through the series, been terrible, they're just 12.5 overs an hour.
40:43In the bestest bowl, six leeches bowled 11.
41:16It's one of the great developments in television technology, just the resolution of the drone
41:21cameras that makes, adds a different dimension to watching cricket.
41:31They come in pretty close and give you great landscape shots, great distance shots.
41:41Just waiting for the day when the drone comes right outside the comm box viewing area and
41:46just has a look at us, waiting for that.
41:48I think it's got better views to focus on.
41:52Now I was just mentioning, since you're sitting in the comm box, possibly the views get better.
41:57But coming back to the documentary letter which you were talking about again, Kevin Peterson,
42:02the way he started playing spin also changed, isn't it?
42:05Because there were times where he got hit on the pads by left arm spinners and spinners.
42:08And just the way he started playing spin ahead makes a huge case for the way batsmen should, especially
42:17with DRS being there.
42:21Looking at Anderson's speeds.
42:24128, that last ball, 130, 131.
42:27Realizes he's got a lot of bowling to do.
42:31But his speeds have been up this game.
42:3833 wickets from 13.
42:40See, Gillespie and McGrath got them quicker.
42:41And that's a legacy of the earlier tours that Anderson was on,
42:44when he tended to struggle on the subcontinent.
42:58That tells you why he's so good.
43:00Started with the new ball.
43:01Again, gets his trade.
43:02There was one that shaped away earlier on.
43:05For that.
43:06And then Rahane.
43:07Worked him over in that over.
43:10Just shortened the length a little bit, but still got the ball to go away.
43:19Even now, this spell against Rishabh Khan.
43:21Such a key moment in the game for India as well.
43:24You can see what he's trying to do.
43:26There is enough movement.
43:29Around the stumps and going away from the left-hander.
43:36Pan's been smart though.
43:44Is it Ian Bishop who always says that wonderful athletes make wonderful fast bowlers.
43:49And you look at wonderful fast bowlers and they're great athletes.
43:52And every time you look at Jimmy Anderson, the way he runs.
43:55Ajit was one.
43:56You saw him around the ground.
43:57You could field for you.
43:58He would be a great fielder.
44:00And that is exactly what Jimmy Anderson is.
44:02He's, what, 37, 38 at the moment.
44:04You saw that spectacular catch in Chennai.
44:07Just the way he moves around.
44:09His fitness which he has been able to maintain over such a long period.
44:14I think it's just so good to watch these bowlers.
44:23Yeah, absolutely.
44:24I think a couple of years back he had a few injuries.
44:30And the forced break due to the pandemic.
44:34Might have helped his case as well.
44:36Just to get himself a little bit fresher.
44:37But just to bowl.
44:39160 test matches.
44:42It's tough to believe.
44:43Fast bowler playing that many.
44:4896 for favor.
44:4996 for favor.
44:5096 for favor!
44:52Correct!
44:5396 for favor.
45:35There's a match summary, India 109 runs behind, 96 for four in the second innings.
45:45England fighting their way back into this game today.
45:55Driven through the gap, 2-4 from Bess, Sharma needs no second invitation, beautifully played
46:02through the covers.
46:04That brings out a hundred for India.
46:06Doing the right thing.
46:08Every scoring opportunity, we've got to make full use of.
46:12Sharma having been there right from the morning, bounced on that Ovic delivery.
46:18Got a couple of full tosses, put them away.
46:23And now pressure, pressure on Donbass.
46:26On the pitch where the ball's doing something, the ball is expected to take wickets at regular
46:31intervals and not league runs.
46:39Yes, he hasn't really bowled much after that first innings of the first test when he got
46:45four wickets.
46:46Seems short of confidence more than anything else.
46:49But the Indians are not minding it because every over, they get at one boundary ball.
46:54Every over, they're getting a boundary ball.
47:02Also with the well spread out field on the leg side, singles are there to be had easily.
47:10It's how Rishabh Pant plays his innings is so important.
47:16Expensive on the kind of surface that he's bowling and he's conceded four boundaries.
47:20There's six and our fours.
47:25Holds the key.
47:27Roth is vastly experienced.
47:31Rishabh Pant is full of exuberance.
47:41It's not easy from a spin ball's perspective.
47:45When you've been left out of the team, you've been dropped, you've seen other people come
47:49in, Moeen Alli came in and bowled fairly well and got wickets.
47:52The hardest thing is the expectation because this pitch is so spinner friendly.
47:57Even that man on your screen, Joe Root, got five for last week.
48:03Pressure that that has put on Donbass.
48:06I think just from watching him, I don't know him that well.
48:09I have spoken to him, but I don't think he can just let go of that expectation that other
48:14people are putting from the outside that he'll be putting on himself.
48:18The trick of playing international cricket is to just forget that it's a big stage, that it's a
48:23test match that millions of people are watching, that your career is potentially riding on
48:28your performance.
48:29You've got to remember that the ball is the same size, the pitch is the same length as
48:33you've always played on.
48:36Couch!
48:37Catches the ball.
48:41It's safely ended, Harren one for four.
49:19Trailing by one hundred and four.
49:23Twelve boundaries India have scored.
49:27Hard to come by these boundaries.
49:29Dom Bess has conceded four of those.
49:32And a short spell of seven overs.
49:34Seven overs, none for twenty-seven.
49:49And there are a couple of things, expectation from the public and your own expectations.
49:55So sometimes certain sports persons, sometimes certain cricketers can put pressure on themselves.
50:09Well, absolutely.
50:10And I always used to think of it.
50:12Think of it in terms of a golfer and excuse me if you're not a golfer out there.
50:15I'm sure you'll get the analogy.
50:17If you're stood over a putt, three foot long putt, dead flat green on the practice ground.
50:24No one watching.
50:25You've got a hundred balls.
50:26You're going to hold a hundred of those putts.
50:28If you have exactly the same putt to win the Masters on TV.
50:32Your boyhood dreams come into life.
50:34A billion people around the world watching.
50:37Suddenly that putt becomes very, very tricky.
50:39And it's all in your head.
50:47In the gap.
50:50Stayed a bit low.
50:51Rose Sharma was good enough to make the adjustment.
50:53And deserves that boundary.
50:59There's just a little bit of width outside the offstop.
51:01That's all he needs.
51:02He's so quick to pick the line in length.
51:04Gets into position so quickly.
51:08Rohit Sharma hits good deliveries for runs.
51:11Now when he gets something marginally off, he's quick to capitalize on it.
51:17And again, hitting it between the fielders.
51:19Very seldom does he hit straight to the fielder.
51:27Mr. Gowska doesn't like easy hundreds.
51:30So he doesn't want to play golf.
51:31We'll talk about it either.
51:35Yes, I worked very hard for my test centuries.
51:37Don't like easy hundreds.
51:39So no golf for me.
51:43Anderson just pulling out of that ball.
51:45But you see what I mean?
51:46If the ball is always the same size, the pitch is the same length.
51:49If Donbass is running up now to bowl against,
51:52if there was the Gujarat under 12 cricket team playing against him.
51:57No pressure.
51:58No one watching.
51:59I'm sure he wouldn't be bowling as many bad balls.
52:02The pressure would not be there.
52:11And before anyone says anything, I apologize.
52:14If the Gujarat under 12 team have the next little master playing for them,
52:17then good luck.
52:18I look forward to seeing you in four years time, whatever your name is, young man.
52:23But if you can somehow convince yourself that it is just a game of cricket,
52:28it is a normal game that you've always done well.
52:30You've always been the best at your age group, the best in your county team.
52:33And this is a natural progression.
52:36And then it will help you just land the ball where you've always landed it.
52:40Look at Akshay Patel.
52:41Looks like he's been playing test cricket all his life.
52:44Just runs up and puts the ball exactly where he's always landed it.
52:51Also, it mustn't help if you have a non-regular bowler, if I might call that.
52:56And we do apologies to Joe Root.
52:58Picking five wickets.
53:00Similar kind of bowler and off-spinner.
53:01Probably not having the same kind of variety that Dom Bess has.
53:05But picking a fifa.
53:07Well, absolutely.
53:08You know, on social media at the minute, I've got so many people saying,
53:12why isn't Root bowling?
53:13That puts pressure on, even though it shouldn't.
53:17Joe Root picked up five wickets.
53:18Yes, he is the first.
