As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

@_harramm sorry to ask, but doesn’t this sound paradoxical?

@chmpgnsoshalist On point. Your ‘faham’ of the deen is appropriate. Congratulations.

@sanjaymanjrekar I don’t think white ball formats are more popular than test cricket!

There is only one proven blueprint to beat Australia in Australia this century. You have to wear down their fast bowlers and then potentially cash in after tea on a long hot day. Australian pitches tend to give assistance to fast bowlers only when they bend their backs. If you bake them in the heat on those iconic grounds with large boundaries, hard outfields, you are giving yourself the best chance of winning test matches.

England themselves proved this in 2010-11 when Cook just batted and batted. India did it twice with Pujara's help, making Australian fast bowlers bowl a lot of overs in the series.

England can decide how they want to play and what style suits them. What they can't change is the impact of keeping a bowling side on the field for longer. Playing style can be based on vibes, but conserving energy is pure science. You can't beat pure science with vibes.

Save test cricket as much as you like, but if you aren't going to take advantage of time factor at your disposal, you would continue to enter battles with one hand tied behind your back against an opponent who is willing to use every method at their disposal.

@shreevats1 Sundar is no spinner. Raina bowled better than hin!

[Danish Shafi @danishshafi49]

@SriniR_2025 There is no quality Indian spinner except for Kuldeep

[Danish Shafi @danishshafi49]

@Adityakrsaha But primarily, the selection of these players is the problem. Playing 3 to 4 allrounders in a test is absurd. Two spinners were more than enough at Eden as well, they didn’t require 6 bowling options with 4 spinners!
