England V India - Predictions

[Cevno]

Kohli is unlikely at this stage to be in the squad.

 

[smash84]

Series to be tied 1-1

 

[Burgey]

Series to be tied 1-1

Nah. 3-0 England, with India hanging on in one test due to lots of rain.

Come on Broady!!!

Let's go Swanneh! Jimmeh too!

Yeah, Belly!! Woo hoo.



FMD it's like watching Manly play Canterbury and trying to choose a winner. Worst sides, worst supporters. About half of one redeeming feature between them.

Dire.

Score: 2-0 to India, with one test being marred by poor weather, and the other by India's superb defensive batting in the 2nd innings
Most runs: Sachin Tendulkar (about 500)
Most wickets: Zaheer Khan (about 30)
Most catches: I don't care.
Biggest innings: match-winning double century by Tendulkar in the first innings in our 2nd win of the series
Best bowling: a cheap 6-fer or 7-fer by Tremlett when for the only time in the series we are packed below 250 in the first innings (in the test where we shall display brilliant defensive batting in the 2nd innings to save a defeat)
MOTS (Eng) Duncan Fletcher
MOTS (Ind) Sachin Tendulkar
Axed: Broad
Surprise pick: Finn
Random prediction: All of Dravid, Tendulkar and Raina to average over 60 with the bat in the series

And just for fun, the CW version:

Country with the most infracted poster: India (our celebrations might be odd)

Best bowling : Anderson
MOTS : Eng Cook
MOTS : India Tendulkar

[smash84]

Why would Pietersen be a surprise pick?

hmm....I thought he might piss off somebody before the series and then would be left out only to make a last minute comeback

 

[Cevno]

I thought you meant Alviro Pieterson would become the latest South African to play for England, once he replaces Strauss?

Country with the most infracted poster: Everyone will get banned after provoking an all-out CW race war.

Edited due to injuries/selections. The last prediction isn't far off already.

 

[Cevno]

This thread should be closed till the end of the series. No editing

lol @ tendulkar getting axed..........I think Tendulkar will have to commit genocide openly to get axed (and even then he might not get axed )
