Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Nov 2016 9:07am, 18 Nov 2016 13,854 posts	0 Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) I'm afraid the crit dodger is right. Test over with the coin toss, pitch already misbehaving. Each innings will be less than the previous one; assuming we avoid the follow on (or don't get asked), it will end with our 2nd innings of around 130. Get out of this with a draw and it will be a magnificent achievement, better than many wins. Can't see it, but....Root and Hameed are going nicely atm....

He'll be waiting a while. Hameed hops down the pitch and drives for a single, before Root clips off his pads for a couple. They do run well together, these two.
