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

[Burgey]

Seems England are half on the plane already. Horrible start for them

 

[ankitj]

Why did they rest Jayant Yadav? Should have rested Jadeja. Giant can do with more confidence building games.

 

[Daemon]

Moeen is giving off horrible vibes atm. Put some effort into it ffs.

If they can't motivate themselves after winning the toss, perhaps they should be on the plane. Chance of a Test victory in India here, regardless of whether they've lost the series.

Statistically speaking they had a better chance of winning if they lost the toss

Hard to win without Jadeja.

Might be the case, but I very much doubt Cook would have taken the option of losing it if offered prior to it.

 

[Zinzan]

Am I reading the line-up correctly that Anderson's not playing?

 

[indiaholic]

Yep. Soreness. Said they were saving up for future games.

Ashes probably the last tour he will play all games on.

Soreness? what, never heard of an injury called soreness.

 

[indiaholic]

Makes sense tbh. But when do they have the next test series?

 

[indiaholic]

Not injured. Just resting him because this is a dead rubber.

 

[Daemon]

He bowled 20 overs in the last 15 days ffs. Weak.

When is the next test series for England?

 

[artvandalay]

Rahul really needs to do better in the field.

 

[cnerd123]

Kohli gifting England some runs there to make this competitive

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good job that was the captain who hit the helmet, don't think he'd have seen the funny side if not.

 

[Zinzan]

Wow Root on 39, does this guy ever fall cheaply these days? Class act.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

When is the next test series for England?

May/June

Ignore that, we have Champions Trophy first so it is July.
