India's wicketkeeper-batsman praised after match-changing century.
"India's team management often shields Rishabh Pant from criticism by calling him a "special talent" - and the 23-year-old has lived up to that billing once again.
The thrilling wicketkeeper-batsman, who inspired India to a series win in Australia with two bewitching innings, did it again on Friday, crashing a potentially match-winning century in the fourth and final Test against England.
Pant turned the game on its head with a spectacular late assault to put India in the box seat, leading former captain Sourav Ganguly and Australian legend Adam Gilchrist to take to Twitter to laud the "unbelievable" talent."

Donny.
It's a game. Enjoy it.

Bollocks. You don't get 40 wickets in a one-day match. If the batsmen think the only way to play these conditions is to slog (and many do), that is an indictment of their defective mindsets. As Brad Hodge would say, not up to it "technically or mentally".Pies4shaw wrote:... Instead, the 3rd Test was a bit like a glorified one-day match.
I don't know why you'd want England to lose. If England win, Oz are into the final. Of course, it was only Oz stupidity that got them into this pickle. How can you let yourself lose points for slow over rates? The mind boggles.
Ever since Smith became captain, the national team has looked like a bunch of half-wits. Zero cricket IQ.
