Book your ticket to happiness with Sun Express Airlines. This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Batche with my coach, my guide, my explainer, my cricket whisper, Jeremy

Zachus.

And during the week I follow the London Papers, the Telegraph and the Times especially, and the Guardian, and also I pay attention

to the BBC headlines.

This week the headline that caught me was India up 336 to 2 over England.

Something about Basball and my eyes fell out at this point. I thought Jeremy's been

telling me this was going to happen.

Jeremy, it looks as if India's on a revenge tour.

Is that a way to read this?

I think that is exactly how to read this channel and what we're actually seeing here is

India is not only on a revenge tour India's actually found out what the

kryptonite is to Vazball so let's let's I guess put it all in context here. What we've got is is we're now in the third test where basically India and England have been playing now for just over two weeks. India has won the first two tests. So we're in the third test of five which means England now has to win this one

just to stay alive and basically continue to keep playing and have any chance of winning.

But what has happened is that India in all its glory has figured out that England was going to use

Basball and it did it did. Basball being a very aggressive form of cricket a cricket that can tire

out the team using it very quickly if they don't use it properly and basically

India figured out that all it has to do is play very very good cricket.

So what India did was they've actually put in their younger players, so a lot of their 22, 23 year old rising stars

into their batting and bowling lineups. But what they've actually told them is,

don't go out there and try and match Bazball

head on so don't try and go out there very aggressively they said go out there and

play the long game to play a very strategic game you know it sometimes let balls go
