Lol, the number of replays of the run out and it's quite obvious that Richard was looking for every opportunity not to give it out! ICC puppet?!!

Pujara runs himself out twice in a test match.

He's the Inzi of Indian cricket.

Philander to Patel, 2 runs, OUT, Pujara is diving for his life at the non-striker's end as AB's throw comes in. He's risked a third. He looks to be out...yes, replays confirm it. Pujara is out run out for the second time in the Test. Well it certainly looks that way. The umpire is confirming with multiple angles...he's taking some time with it too...His bat is on the line as the bail comes off. It's not behind it...there it is. Don't know why it took so long. Parthiv had nudged this ball through gully, they'd picked up two and AB was chasing it from third slip. Picked up, swiveled, threw it on the bounce. QDK was quick with his hands as he broke the stumps

That's just pure madness! :wtf:

Why? What insane brain fart did they conjure to justify this? Preservation of your own wicket whatever the cost, surely? :wtf:

I was going to call this the critical partnership ... and then Patel did himself in. Is there no one in their team who believes a win or draw is possible?

For our pov, this game is heading to a well fought win.
