***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[Shri]

If Moeen trims or shaves his beard, he will be the best looking cricketer in the England team by far, which is not saying much but still.

This is a depressing squad we have put out. Best XI from the choices available:

G Gambhir
M Vijay
C Pujara
V Kohli
A Rahane
R Ashwin
W Saha
R Jadeja
A Mishra
M Shami
I Sharma

Actually not that bad but feels weird somehow.

Yes if they field this side, then 5-0 is only a matter of time (weather permitting).

Might be, but why hasn't there been more Duckett love?

Duckett's been too busy playing to make friends with support staff/photographers

Hameed's still in his teens while Duckett's 22 anyways.

 

[Black_Warrior]

where's B Kumar?

people giving fashion advice not knowing beards are in vogue

you lot are useless. I'd say stick to the cricket but a number of "fans" here wouldn't even know what that was

Burgey, doesn't this sound like a 14 year old posting?

Are you just here to tell us how little we know and how far superior your cricketing knowledge is??? Serious delusions of grandeur pal.......pull your head in.

Nah just sounds like a dead set idiot to me mate.......and they come in all ages.

 

[cnerd123]

I nominate Adders for this weeks "Sprit of Cricketweb" award

Between this and his food posting he has earned it

ECB's social media staff seem to have moved on from the Ali love to Hameed now.

Watched his interview on ecb.co.uk cricket channel on youtube. Humble guy, but wondering whether he's really that good?

 

[ImpatientLime]

you will rarely see a 19 year old with the temperament that hameed shows.

kid can play.

What does Gambhiring mean btw? Cos this will get confusing during the series for me what with Gautam back in the side.

"My team is actually winning/ahead, but I'm posting as if they aren't." Extra points for totally irrational hysteria.

There's also a fine line between gambhiring and just constant whining. Agreed that one should always err on the side of being over the top so people get that you're not being entirely serious.

Just follow my posts when Pakistan play and you'll know

 

[indiaholic]

Nah Gambhiring is named after Gambhir because it is dire. Whining is mandatory.

 

[FBU]

Cook's average in India is 61.85 so Sharma is in to get Cook, has got him 8 times. Ashwin 4 times and Jadeja once.

 

[weldone]

Ashwin will destroy Cook this time.

 

[mackembhoy]

Thank you folks. I joined up as a lurker a few years back. Only really started posting more recently.

I'm a member of SAFC forum that's got an excellent cricket forum, so post a lot more over there. But nice to get some none English opinions

Haha, I'd assumed it was something that he did in interviews or something like that, but it's basically "Don't like Gambhir, don't like this either, name it after him"

When you say it's 'because it is dire', do you mean his cricket or is he just a dislikeable guy?
