Re: Cricket match prediction discussions

What if... after this match, Alastair Cook decides to take back his retirement decision?

Do you think so? But I don't think he will reverse his decision.

India requires another 406 runs to win this match and they still have another seven wickets in this last innings. Pujara and captain got out for duck (zero) and Dhawan scored a single run in second innings. England last batsman played more responsible batting than Indian captain and other top order batsmen. It is a high time for Indian cricket board to sit back and look into the basic issues where they are making mistakes while choosing to team for test matches. So far, it is the worst batting display from Indian team in this innings.

What a come back from India before this partnership India were 121/5 and everyone was thinking that India will lose with huge margin but Rishab Pant with K L Rahul partnership took india to 304/5 and last session of the final day started and India needed 159 more runs with 32 overs Left. England will be very much upset as they were very near to win this test match and now the match is turning towards Draw or India win. If India won this test match then once more history will be created with highest run chase in test match.

India lost the match by 118 runs and England won the series by 4-1. It was some real fight by Rishabh Pant but proved to be not enough for the India's win.

@chris200x9: Yes, I do have a feeling he'll do that.

Last two sessions was very interesting as Indians fight good and give some tough time to English bowlers as Rahul and Pant both attacking and all was not in good against this attacking strategy because they was not expecting this from them in last session Adil was hero for England as he done some very serious magic against Rahul and then they was on as they destroy all tail enders very quickly Anderson is also now climbing above which is good.
