Oh yeah, I remember that. But I was thinking in England. When did we previously play India before 2007? 2002? 2007 home we had all of the four injured didn't we?

India flummoxed by Moeenalitharan | Cricket News | England Domestic Season 2014 | ESPN Cricinfo
Whoever came up with Moeenalitharan the other day should sue.

Was it Howe? Or did Howe just try to popularise it?

Is Ishant back? Can't believe I'm looking forward to him being fit and in the team again

Either one of Cook, Bell, Root & Ballance has a higher batting career average than either one of Tresco, Strauss & Thorpe though. I do realise it's not always fair to compare players of various time areas, but still. I don't think there's too much wrong with England's current batting line-up, even without considering they have the strongest tail I've ever seen (correct me if I've missed an obvious other candidate for strongest tail in cricket).
Flintoff and Jones...... Ah well, that was something very very special, in the summer of 2005.
In all fairness: Hoggy, Harmy, Jones, Freddie & Giles? Or Anderson, Broad, Jordan, Woakes & The Beard? I'd always pick Flintoff, as he is The One! But from a strictly objective pov, considering career averages rather than a single series, I wouldn't be so sure. Also, too early to judge CJ, CW & MA.

Maybe an Ishant return is the kind of upward boost India need? As of now, an Indian revival seems more unlikely than the English oen did two Tests ago.....

Crap as ever. He was wrong in the first place because he only looked at the last time results changed. So now he's doing the exact same thing.

Yeah, bigging up someone as a captain when his side is winning and then heaping **** on him when its losing, even though his captaincy style and ability doesn't really change at all, is actually worse than stubbornly sticking to a position that I may personally disagree with.
Anyone can tell you who won. I don't mind disagreeing with the commentators and the media, but I certainly expect more from them than reactionary drivel.

I think your seriously overestimating the abilities of some commentators to actually give much analysis these days.
Honestly I don't think its unfair to say that quite a number of people on this site would give far better analysis than quite a few comms on the circuit at the moment who really do just come out with reactionary drivel. The only thing most are good for these days are filling the gaps when a match starts to drift because they hardly say anything meaningful in regards to the game.
They certainly by an large don't pay attention to the development of players before they hit the county circuit quite a few of them really are scoreboard warriors, they see the stats and scores and assume from there on in, case and point being Moeen Ali, who they spent more or less the entirety of his international career thus far calling him a part timer while anyone who put any modicum of effort into paying attention to county cricket would know that while he's not the first spinner at Worcestershire he's far removed from a part timer.
