Wouldn't be pissed off if we call up Gubbins. I'd be pissed off if we called up Compton even with him being out there working for Cricinfo. I have no personal preference of who we call up. Don't mind if it an opener or middle order player as Root could open. Just hope whoever we do call up plays ahead of Duckett and Ballance and I hope they do well.

Whats the story with Jennings,

If you are in the unfortunate situation of listening to his dad commentate you would hear him constantly whine about being patient etc, why then was he so quick hoofing his son of to England rather than trying to play for South Africa. ****ing hypocrite. Especially now that South Africa team is rebuilding so places up for grabs.

I would still get Bhuvi in for Umesh despite his performance, and even though Umesh should have more wickets to his name than he does.

Honestly even if India want to keep Umesh in the side, I'd still want Bhuvi in place of the extra batsmen, I know it sounds crazy but that's how badly I want him in the side. We can afford to adjust him given our lower middle order.

Trouble is if we do that, we are going all England now with 3 seamers and 3 spinners and a h4x lower order, even two offspinners :)​

One thing we can't do again next test is play 3 ****ING SPINNERS! Why did we not learn from the UAE that this is a dreadful idea for us...

Until this season I don’t think anyone would have said Jennings would be an international player, so it may be a case Jennings went to England as playing for Durham pays better than playing semi-professionally for Gauteng.

Cook's post match interviews have been a ****ing disgrace.

"They are no supermen."

"There were no magic balls."

"Maybe Jonny Bairstow was the only one that was a good piece of bowling..."

How about some credit to the opposition? Ah well, keep talking. Maybe you will admit things and step out of denial when the score is 4-0. What a ****.
