They'll tire themselves out soon though and then we'll only have to deal with some easy spin.Bowlers all over the England batsmen.
4 India seamers all been quicker on Ave than the 4 England seamers.
We will be skittled out by thenThey'll tire themselves out soon though and then we'll only have to deal with some easy spin.
I cannot understand how we can blow them away in the last two tests and not turn up here. Don’t get me wrong India are a quality side but we should be smashing them at home
Fair comment but it was a comfortable victory in the end. Home advantage is ridiculous in cricket at the moment. Root was a choice because there were no choicesWe didn’t really blow them away in the first test. Ok the second yes but conditions were hugely weighted in our favour - root is not a captain and a team with no leader in cricket ultimately suffers
Really digging in!Stokes and Buttler putting up some stiff resistance but you have to feel it's only a matter of time.
You’d have to fancy India at Southampton as well, especially if it’s the usual turning wicket down there as well!
If I was picking the side for the next test I’d go-
Burns
Cook
Ali
Root
Pope
Stokes
Buttler
Woakes
Rashid
Broad
Anderson
I still feel that too aggressive, I’d like to stick a Hildreth in there somewhere but that’ll never happen.
The problem with modern cricket is that there is no adjustment time for overseas teams. The first two tests were almost like getting used to conditions for the Indian batsmen.
Yes Southampton will spin. The idiotic decision to play Rashid will be exposed of he’s still in the team
Rain, snow, hail.... anything. Out first ball probably!We hold out. Pray for rain - but that would be cruel to India.
It's going to look a little silly if the final wicket falls in the first over.
I was surprised it was that many!!17 balls.
Soooooo, Vince in for Bairstow then...
How do players like Clarke at Worcestershire get a go move to Surrey?
It does feel quite circular doesn't it? Vince does well in FC cricket, gets called up, weakness outside off exposed, gets dropped. Does well in FC cricket, gets called up etc etc.
I’ll say his name for the millionth time but James Hildreth how hasn’t he been given a go!?
