Man, my name here is bad. Should have thought of a better name all those years ago.

You haven't responded to my avatar bet.

haha.

I can't risk Kaptain Kohli.

In all seriousness, I actually wouldn't be surprised if England play much better following the Banglas series. Agree with those that say notwithstanding their poor batting they'll be better equipped and have adjusted to conditions.

Hope its a good series, but no Jimmy is a big big loss. I know I've said it a lot but it can't be overstated.

 

[honestbharani]

They surely are a side who just randomly seem to do better against us, no matter how bad they have been going in. Esp. after losing the first or the second test. I am honestly worried about this series. Think England with their balance and strength in numbers will be able to beat us this series.

.

Ironically, I think the screamer will get more LBWs with DRS even though he won't scream as much, so for that reason don't think Ashwin will quite get to 40.

 

[indiaholic]

Haha is that why you picked 39?

Pretty much yeah. I don't think he'll quite get the 9 wickets per test average he did vs. NZ, think he'll be closer to 7-8.

1.5

Clarifying GIMH's post incase you get confused. Ashwin will make 3 run outs (0.5 for each) and take zero wickets in the series

There is literally no reason to think England will win other than pessimism because one supports India.

 

[honestbharani]

It's called Gambhiring, you ****. Get with the program.

 

[Jono]

In the history of Gambhiring it was always done against a team that has never lost a test vs. Bangla****ingdesh.

England have changed the game. You can't Gambhir against the first ever major test team to lost a test vs. Banglas. Even Gambhiring has its limits.

 

[GIMH]

Gambhiring is being excessively negative in relation to the scorecard of an ongoing match. Get your **** together.

yeah honestbiryani

[morgieb]

Biryani is such an over-rated dish imo

 

[honestbharani]
