***Official*** England in India

Jadeja balances the side though, it's Chawla who's the complete surprise, at least for the fans because apparently Cricinfo were saying he was a favourite pick, why I have no idea.
Scaly to turn up and point out BCCI influenced by cricinfo and all that hizz. Also to mention Onions at least 8 times.

Surprised and very pleased that Root is selected. I like Samit but he is never going or be a test match batsman.

Even happier that we won the toss, let's not **** if up now please.

I don't see us getting Cook out today. I expected Jadeja to play and Awana to play instead of Chawla. This is going to be embarrassing. Dhoni has literally sold himself down the river here. Would be a massive surprise if he can hold on to the captaincy after this test.

Be funny if England are rolled for 180 here, with everyone saying how bad the Indian line up is.

The line up isn't bad, Chawla's addition makes it bad, you replace Chawla with Awana the seamer and it becomes a really well balanced side (on paper anyways).

I thought they dropped Bell which I thought was a good decision then I read it was for Samit. Thought Samit was ok here, never pushed on but didn't look incapable of scoring runs.

I've got a strong feeling he'll get out under 50 today.

290/6 or 7

I think Chawla will be batting at 6 and Jadeja down at 8. Apparently Chawla's averaging 75 with the bat in Ranji this season.

Would love to see Chawla and Ashwin both ton up tbh.
