Survival definitely all that is on his mind right now. You’d think after 90 balls he’d be a little more comfortable but he’s done his job so far.
Maybe once he feels truly in we’ll see some more shots like the one earlier in the over. Thought he had his timing back in those Pakistan ODIs and then he found ways to get himself out. Batting a long time might be the best thing for him but he doesn’t have me feeling overly confident
just hope he doesn't go cheaply now after doing all the hard work
Top seed by Akash. Smith fortunate not to nick it.

Maybe just giving Head singles to deep point is analytical the way to go. Does feel too defensive and gifting him easy runs with zero pressure

Only because 4 of his 12 innings have been not outs. He’s never hit a hundred. He can obviously bat but he doesn’t have near the pedigree Jadeja does, who has 4 hundreds and 21 50s in 113 test innings.

I’m loving this. Our batsmen are obviously badly out of form, but every single one so far has fought for and put a price on their wicket.
it's been a riveting day since ball 1. A great battle

Fair, did think the safe choice was Sundar off the last test but you had 3 options there was always going to be 2 unlucky blokes.
It's Test cricket, something that T20 can never give you.

How can a spinner off 3 steps bowl so many no balls lol

I might be an old school spinner, but a spinner should never give up a no ball.

Think he has batted below Jadeja when they’ve played together
The mere sight of Jadeja out there for India fills me with dread 
He was hitting it crisp at the G.
Than just hits it straight to a fielder and the collapse began.
Thought he was set for a huge score that day.
It was lineball so a fairly dubious call i thought.

Spin bowlers should have their foot behind the line. It’s a lot easier for them than for the quicks to keep behind the line and not give the umpire the opportunity to call it.
Regardless of what Smith makes, he should call it after this series. It's depressing watching him go out the way like Ponting did.

Here we go.
No, Sharma resisted the call and rightly so.
Then Head launches the next ball for four.

Sorry Phat but the not out excuse for a high average is the worst reasoning ever.
You don’t go out of course your average is good, that’s the whole point.
