***Official*** England in India

[Manee]

Monty and Swann > Laker and Lock as these two don't get sticky dogs to clean up on.

Amazing to think that England have a better spin attack in this match than India in India.

Also surely it is time to pull Yuvraj out of test cricket, more of a liabilty than a past it Tendulkar.

Indeed, bye Yuvraj, bye Tendulkar. You simply cannot have wastes of places in such a competitive environment.

Also amazing to think that they didn't pick Monty for the first test. Truly facepalm stuff from Flower and co there.

Bit of a phone number, that card.

explain that to Scaly who is now suddenly MIA

 

[Spark]

Can only assume he'll turn up and somehow claim that this all proves that they should have picked Onions.

Even more amazing that many England fans on here weren't certain that Monty would have bowled better than Bresnan and Broad in that game.

 

[Flametree]

But surely Monty's failure to score 20 with the bat will come back to haunt England here?????

Yesss go away Dhoni; now I can get back to enjoying the cricket.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

[flibbertyjibber]

Claim the half hour.

Wouldn't have done as well in the first test tbh. Pretty sure of it.

Damn!

Probably not but would have been more use than the pies Bresnan bowled.

the main thing was how smart it has shown to be to swallow pride and get pietersen back in.
