Yeah he's first choice now. Your lot made him look like a world class batsmen but I honestly doubt he's going to last long at the top.

What is Sammy doing in the WI side?
He shouldn't even be in the squad

Eden Gardens is such a great place. Too bad they've been in BCCI's bad side. I would generally never go to a stadium in India, with the way they treat their customers, but I'd probably make an exception for Eden Gardens.

How was Shami Ahmed? Heard that managed to get the ball to reverse? His economy seems pretty high though.

He went for a few because he pitched it up and got driven; he wasn't bowling gifts.
He definitely did get the ball to the reverse, yes. He was excellent really.

Well it was as poor a day as i can remember!!..but the game was up as soon as i saw we had the absolute NERVE to try and play five batsmen as if we were facing Bangledash!!..had we had an extra batsman then 300 plus would certainly have been on!!..but they are so determined to keep that waste of space Sammy in the team that it's gonna cost us massively in this series!!...i mean they call him an "alrounder"..so if thats the case why the hell did he bat at seven and hide behind Ramdin who only averages 20 at test level? it's crazy!!..
Also one has to wonder why the hell they took Roach if he is injured and left Rampaul at home? Narine must be pulling his mohawk out aswell!!..he's had the majority of that indian top order in fits when he's faced them before but apparently he's not good enough to make this side!!
.
I know it's only the first day and many teams have crashed in the first innings including england when they last toured India but at least england's coaches and selectors had commons sense and picked Monty for the second test!!..our coach and selectors will continue to ignore the elephant in the room though you can bet your bottom dollar on that.
