Mushy and Athar's salt will be delicious if they lose.

 

[Athlai]

Some good batting, good luck and questionable captaincy so far.

I'd like to see Jadeja bowling with Mushy keeping on that Nagpur pitch against a team of Shane Watsons.

Bunch of SL close in fielders too.

Dharmasena umpiring.

This is going to make Ashwin Jaddu Pujara Vijay and Kohli wrecking you lot even sweeter for me.

Feel pretty bad for AZH though

You will taste it so hard if we do well.

Cake eater.

Lots of talk about all these things but I think the bowling has been genuinely pretty poor too. Miraz has been okay but even he's struggled to find his length a bit, and it's been dire from Shakib and Hom.

 

[Howe_zat]

that reverse sweep was ludicrous

Shakib lobs one down the leg side

'nah thanks, i'll make my own ****en leg side'

 

[Adders]

I don't normally tempt fate like this, and if we lose a wicket in the next 13 runs you can give me all the **** this post will deserve............but I'm going to piss my pants if we make a 100 run opening stand here. It seems so long.

Probably been done since but Cook/Lyth is the last I can recall.

I think the switches have hampered anyone settling in.

Please don't trigger me.

The schizophrenic bowling changes can't help though. These guys aren't Warne/Murali... can't expect them to find their rhythm immediately.

Both bowling and batting switches.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

now thank god i had work today and didnot get to watch

 

[Howe_zat]

Probably been done since but Cook/Lyth is the last I can recall.

Cook/Moeen in the first test in the UAE when Cook got 260
Cook/Hales in the second innings of the 3rd test against Pakistan when they were 120 behind and got the lead back.

But yeah not many.

Dharmasena umpiring.

And Warne and Brayshaw on commentary

If?

I'm sorry but I'm going to draw the line there

England's score after 20 overs in this series

54/3
46/4
84/5
90/0

It's generally supposed to have gotten easier against spin after the new ball, or that's what we keep hearing anyway.

I'm not ruling out a matchwinning 6-fer from Kamrul Islam with his reverse swing though.
