In this team yeah definitely. 6 or 7.

But got better pure batting options than him.

I know this seems like a bit of a joke, but nah, we don't. Rohit looks better on paper, but he really isn't, from what I have come to realize.

If Moeen keeps this up then Buttler is going to have to improve his keeping a lot quicker than England were probably hoping/expecting he would have to.

This Jadeja - Ashwin thing abroad is real conundrum for India abroad unless they get a real turner.

One isn't worth his place in the side as a all rounder with the bat and one isn't worth his place as a all rounder with the ball given blunt performances consistently. And neither is worth their place as proper Batsman or Proper bowler overseas really or the best available option in terms of that.

Ashwin is a far better batsman and bowler. What exactly is the conundrum?

Not great against the short ball is he? Talented batsmen though, that is for certain.

Compulsive hooker who can't keep the ball down. Saw it down here in 2011/12, he needs to learn how to hook down or put it away.

Didn't watch him bowl but he had the lowest econ of the indian bowlers and only bowled 14 overs.. Surely unfair to judge him based on that?

Ashwin's weakness against the short ball for once will be exploited when he plays as a specialist. It's a different dynamic when you bat at 6 and have to build a innings.

I am not the biggest Rohit fan around here, but he deserves a run in the side consistently as well once you have brought him in without being shunted in and out every couple of games irrespective of his ODI record where people judge him on for tests slightly unfairly.

If not him i'd probably bring in Rayudu maybe or even Ojha or Saha as a specialist batsman but then that would put pressure on Dhoni if they perform. There are few other batting options as well.

Ugh don't rate Moores but England surely dodged a bullet not having Giles running anything longer than he did. His analysis and commentary are hideous. He doesn't have a clue, just churns out cliches.

The fact that our spinner had 3 wickets in about 5 overs makes Ashwin look a bit naff with the ball as he hardly created a chance.

Jordan does something right.

India have batted crap. Gutless performance.

Pankaj bringing the lulz. Leg stump full toss on to stumps. If Jordan can make blowing the tail away his thing then that is valuable to us.

Wonder if we make any changes for the Oval. Woakes out for Stokes I couldn't argue against. Tempted to go with the same team and swap Ali/Woakes though in the batting order.
