Nah Ali has done alright with bat-and-ball. I honestly would put in Vince for Bell ATM. I'm just sick of the sight of the old guard. They've really let us down here. Badly.
Who would you make captain?

I'd keep Bell and make him captain for the rest of the summer. He hasn't been inept for as long as some.

Ali for Bell sounds alright for me. Ballance, Vince, Root and Ali sounds like a good middle order to watch. Won't happen though.

I have no ****ing idea. Look as was suggested before, if Foster plays there's no reason why he can't be a stop-gap Captain. I really don't want one of the young uns doing it, as they're our only bright spots, why risk it?

It's not like bringing in a captain who you doubt can be a Test player, like Morgan, we know he can Keep. If you say that's his main job and runs are a bonus, then he can't be disappointing on the pitch.

Bhuvi or Rahane deserved that imo.

Ishant doing well to give them and Dhoni credit though, good to see from him.

Incredible that so many players played such an important role in the match. Rahane, Bhuvi, Vijay, Jadeja, and Ishant. If even one of those players' contributions hadn't happened we could've lost.

I wouldn't mind that but I think Buttler is certain to get the nod over him to keep.

Yeah it's scary though because we played really well for our standards and England played pretty ****ing poorly. If they get their **** together they could very well pull it back.

And to think, just today morning we were talking about how Ishant doesn't get as many wickets as he may deserve. Cricket's a funny old game.

Felt awful for Cook during that interview too. And Prior.

Last change needed for this 'New Era'. A new captain and a new keeper. Those two positions are literally the brain and heart of the team.

My fellow Indian fans. I hate to interrupt the celebrations but I have bad news.

I was supposed to go to this Lord's test match but in the end couldn't make it. Instead I will be attending day 1 of the 3rd test in Southampton.

I remind you all of my record of attending Indian away cricket matches - 7 losses and 1 draw.

Never attended an Indian win outside of India. I may **** this series up :ph34r:
