This is a bit classless from shastri but unexpected.

Is that a deliberate decision not to play any home tests during the IPL?

No cricket for 6 months now. Boring.

What'd Ravi say? Something patronising?

No unexpected surely?

We have Champions Trophy so they got that starting as soon as IPL finishes, we are cramming 7 tests into 2 and a half months later in the summer. Be rotation needed I would think.

Billions of one dayers apparently between now and the English season.
I'll be watching Australia v Pakistan.

True, although it would be a bit of a laugh if they did puff their chests up on the back of 4-0.

India spinner Ravindra Jadeja on TMS: "It was unfortunate we couldn't break through in the morning session but we were very confident, they were about 100 for no loss in Bangladesh and collapsed there as well."
Zing! Sir Ravi should enjoy this. Sweet revenge and Jimmy should keep his mouth shut.

Yep. This and the NZ series thread have been good natured. Much needed after SA.

Congratulations India, absolutely ruthless in the final two Tests. Winning both by an innings despite giving up 400+ in the first innings both times is pretty special, so kudos.
It's such a shame from an England perspective that two of the finest acheivements in modern English cricketing history - the 2010/11 Ashes and the win in India in 2012 - have been followed up with 2 capitulations the next time round.
Here's to India's bowling attack finding a method for playing outside the Subcontinent, they've got a lot of exciting players and if they can start threatening to take Tests and series off England, South Africa and Australia away from home, we'll have some great Test cricket to look forward to in the next 5 years.

Ah, I'd forgotten about the CT. But I can't believe we're still playing two home series after it.
I suppose that not playing any home tests until July does, for once, give us the chance to have a proper look at players in the CC before thinking about how the test side may look for the summer.

That was from Ashwin, I think.
