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

[AndyZaltzHair]

Bring on moeen asap for rahane

 

[91Jmay]

Just hope we snake out Kohli and one more so we have a shot at keeping it under 500.

 

[Zinzan]

Rahane's in, I'd bring an offie on and get at least two men close in on the leg-side. He's suspect to the ball spinning in to him, especially early on.

 

[weldone]

So the question is if Root is good enough to bat for India anywhere above no. 6.

 

[Zinzan]

Noooooooooooooo

Come on, don't be so mean He got his hundred, and India are still in an amazing position. Why so many 'ooooos'?

Aashish Calla: "James Anderson, making a comeback after a while, has been by far the best bowler on show of the 6 used by England. Class never fades! #TerrificBowler"

Why do people use bloody hashtags everywhere

Makes no sense unless you're posting something on Twatter. Winds me right up.

LOL

I'd take Rashid of ASAP, he's just too easy to bat against.

If your office has free wifi, just use hotstar. It is seriously good.

Thanks, will try it out.

 

[Contra]

The pitch is starting to play up a bit now.

 

[Groundking]

Rashid is actually rubbish

Move pujara to open and root at #3

 

[91Jmay]

Rashid is actually rubbish

Far, far better than either of the other spinners today. He has bowled fine on the whole.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahane has looked pretty bad so far. Don't know why Cook isn't bringing on Moeen.

 

[wpdavid]

Rashid is actually rubbish

But still better than Ansari, which is a worry.

 

[MW1304]

This isn't great is it. Only saving grace is if this turns out to be a similar pitch to Rajkot, which I've heard isn't likely to be the case?

It really felt like this was coming with Kohli in the last Test.

 

[mr_mister]

This series will produce the most 100s on test history

 

[indiaholic]

Unlikely to be a Rajkot pitch imo. No grass on it.

Rajkot is the flattest deck in India. Ravindra Jadeja scores first class triple hundreds there.
