All right fair enough, he is joining the MS One Bounce Rule Dhoni's crusade to change cricket rules.Nothing to do with the match at hand. No one mentioned an Australian player.

Maybe. They have similar FC averages, fwiw but Bresnan's is a couple of runs higher. I'd plump for the one with more test experience, but it's no big deal I suppose.
Bresnan at 7 is an interesting thought: leaves us with a slightly below par 6 & 7 rather than slightly above by having Prior at 7. Five bowlers has its merits though, especially if we're struggling to find a viable number 6.

Pretty sure Dhoni's was two bounces tbf.

I just don't get it. I mean shouldn't performances alone matter? If/when he starts sucking, fair enough but if he's bowling so well AND taking wickets....why be so critical? It's like people saying Sehwag would never help India because he has no footwork. Yes, that has hurt him overseas but he's by far the best batsman (in terms of match winning ability) that India has. Performance = only thing that matters.

They're not. The sun comes out sometimes, then batting gets easy. India could run up a big lead tomorrow if the forecast is accurate.
The pitch deteriorates, though. Fourth innings batting can get very difficult.

It's dangerous to assume that conditions won't change - the cloud cover may not last, and the pitch should become less green once it's been out from the covers for a day or so. Plus there's the psychology of being bowled out cheaply in the first innings of the match. Dhoni might reckon that it worked well enough last time India played a test match at Trent Bridge.

Gee, India bowling pretty well so far today. Dravid seems to be getting a bit of catching practice, it's just a pity for them he put down The Sherminator. Wouldn't mind seeing them snaffle Wendy Broad fairly early here.
